weight loss and pains

Hello. I am a 20 year old male experiencing weight loss and stomache pains. I have lost 10lbs in 2 months. Even though I have switched to a high calorie diet I cant seem to put the weight back. I'm having pains in my lower and mid stomache, also pains in my lower stomache and blader after urinating. I do have a history of taking advil and other pain medication due to tooth aches. Mostly concerned with weight loss. I'm young, eat well and exercive often. What could be the problem?

Hello, have you seen a Dr. yet. Unexplained weight loss and abdominal pain could be due to a simple explanation - particularly considering your age, but could also be something more serious. Please make an appointment with your GP immediately - don't put this off. Other things to consider (change in diet, environmental situation, stressors, any type of illness, worms/parasites). Your Dr. will probably carry out a detailed physical examination and probably order some tests based on what he finds. Good luck and please get back and let us know how you go.
