A member asked:

I woke up to severe pain the lower abdomen/back, rectal area. i've had constipation issues lately. could it be due to that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe, but...: If it is not constipation (excess stool in usually the left lower abdomen) that goes away with a bowel movement, then her primary care doctor can check to see what the problem might be. The doctor can check to see if there is a mass of some kind in the abdomen or pelvis. Sometimes an infection, diverticulitis, an unusually-located appendicitis, or some sort of tumor, can cause such symptoms.
