I feel a pinch when I sneeze?

Question

Hello, for some time now, I occasionally feel a sharp pain in the form of a pinch when I sneeze. The pain lasts about 1 minute and then fades. I also feel a sharp pain in my rectum during my menstruation. The pinch is in the lower abdomen And no, I don't have to force myself when I have a bowel movement.

Good morning, ma'am, Where exactly is the pinch you feel when you sneeze? If the pain does not persist and is only temporary, there is usually no reason to worry. When you have a bowel movement and you feel the pain, is it because you have to strain a little? Thanks for the feedback, sorry for the late reply, I was waiting for some information from a colleague! If it only happens when you sneeze, there is no need to worry. Indeed, a sneeze can involve many muscles and could cause this temporary discomfort. As for the pain of bowel movements, it is quite possible that the pain is felt more acutely during menstruation. Again, if this is temporary, there is no need to worry. Don't hesitate if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
