Hello I am a 40 year old female. About once every month, the lower part of my stomache hurts. It doesn't hurt like a urinary tract infection, because I have had alot of those when I was younger! It does hurt when I empty my bladder though at the bottom part of my stomachje.No pain at the end of urination or anything. It hurts for almost a week, then it will quit and here comes the pain again!! Please help, Dont have insurance yet, but should be getting it soon. THANK YOU FOR HELP
What you are having is dysuria which can be due to urinary or genital tract causes. Other than that, it can be due to could be due to UTI, cystitis (bladder infection), trapped wind or intestinal gas, constipation, anxiety or kidney stones. Investigations like blood tests (CBC, ESR), urine test, x ray, ultrasound or CT/MRI scan can be required to rule out the diagnosis.
