Hi there,i am a 19 year old male and i am very stressed. I have had stomach pains in my lower stomach part,like 7cm below my tummy,the pain is like binding pain,as if someone is tightening your lower stomach area. I pass motion like 3 times per day and it is normal though sometimes i have the sensation that i have to pass more but nothing comes,stools are brown and not narrow.

Just 2-3 days after my initial pains started,i went overseas and the doctor there gave me norfloxacin as he suspected a urine infection and i took the whole dose for a week and after that i was fine.But 5 days later,it was the same time so i had another course of norfloxacin and it was the same thing-i felt well when i was on norfloxacin but the pains came back after finishing the course.

My doctor did a urine test for me when i returned from overseas.It was a urine culture and everything was normal and he said the results were very good,he then diagnosed me with IBS and gave me medicine to stop the stomach spasms but nothing has worked now.

So this time i went to my family doctor and he prescribed for me metronidazole and i got abit better but after taking it,my stomach used to have a sharp pain.Now the tightness has shifted to just besides my tummy hole on my right hand side.

I am very stressed and i am getting all wild thoughts like having colon cancer and stuff.I started smoking 6 months ago only and just quit today due to family issues.But i have no colon cancer symptoms like being tired,having black tarry or bloody stools,constipation/diarrhea or tiredness.I did lose weight,arn 2-3 kg by eating less.I have not slept properly for the last 3 nights due to worrying so much.

Please advice me.Thanks
