Constipation: Constipation can be a cause of abdominal pain and the location of the discomfort can vary from patient to patient. If the issue persists, you should have a complete evaluation by your regular doctor.

See below: Symptoms and concerns like these mandate a thorough evaluation by your doctor. Only after such an evaluation, which may include labs and radiographic examinations, can he/she let you know what's going on and how best to help you.

Yes.: The congestion in the colon that is present with constipation will cause distention and pain. You should be having a soft yet formed bm daily; if not, drink more fluids, eat more fruit or prunes, and try bran cereal (it's the superstar of fiber). If the problem persists, see your doctor.
