“Upper and lower abdominal and back pain?”
I am constipated for almost a month now and recently these past few days I am experiencing upper and lower abdominal pain as well as back pain. In addition, I feel a pulse on my stomach which is alarming for me.
By the way, I have PCOS and history of UTI and I'm not sure if it has something to do with it.

It seems that you should visit your physician for your condition.
The constipation can certainly be a source of abdominal pain. The back pain, not as commonly. The first recommendation I would have is to try and address the constipation. I usually have my patients try Miralax 17g in 8oz water/juice daily. It is unlikely that the PCOS and UTI have anything to do with the constipation or abdominal pain.
As for the pulsation in your abdomen, this is most commonly due to a palpable abdominal aorta, and is normal. This tends to be more commonly felt in very thin individuals.
As always, consult with your personal physician/provider if symptoms do not get better.

The constipation might explain everything. Keep the bowels moving with over-the-counter laxatives such as Miralax, dulcolax, smooth move tea, etc. Use more than one of these at a time if needed. PCOS and UTI unrelated. You are probably feeling your own aortic pulse in the stomach area, which is normal. Seek a physical exam with a primary care doctor just to be sure. A GI doctor can help treat constipation, too.
