What causes upper abdominal pain on the back side?

Good Day Doctor! I had a question. I have been witnessing some pain on the top right side of my stomach, infact its towards the back, rather than the front. The area is just to the right of the right side (on my back). I do not feel this pain when I am sitting in one place, but when I move, this pain intensifies. It might just be some muscular problem, for which I am getting concerned, but the main reason why I am asking you is that this pain has been there for the last 20-25 days. Its not very severe, definitely manageable, but its still there. Also, since today morning, I have been experiencing a sharp piercing pain near my belly button. If I try pressing that area (my belly button), the piercing pain intensifies. This pain was not there earlier. Its just started today morning. Lastly, just for your information: I have had Collitis in my childhood days and in 2005, I was diagnosed with Diodenal Ulcer. Since then, I have been having Razo 20.

<start> Welcome to health care magic. 1.There are two possbilities for the cause of the pain 1. Gastritis / ulcers 2. GB calculus.2.In this case if the pain is manageable - the you try to get your diet in regular interval on time multiple small portions. 3.Avoid junk and spicy food, take more of fruits and salads and excess of liquids.4.That should ease of the symptoms if it is gastric pathology in early stages.5.If not the you need to get an ultrasound abdomen and endoscopy and treated according to the findings.Good luck.Hope i have answered your query,any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-ganesh/62888 <end>

He didn t look at anything and said I m fine. I had level 8 pain for five months and I m down to level 3 or 4. Still have pain under my rib cage ... Upper stomach . Stamina is at maybe a 6. Went to Gastrogist who asked 200 questions and perceived Prilosec and laxative . Did little or nothing . Your thoughts

Suggest treatment for severe lower abdominal pain

Hello, I am a 20 year old woman. I have been getting lower right abdominal pain recently, and I went to walk-in clinic and did a urinalysis test. It is not appendicitis because its a different pain from that. Doctor said my urine has a lot of white cells and that my bladder is infected. He gave me antibiotics to cure it. But I do not have any other symptoms of bladder infection (urge to urinate, blood in urine, etc) except for bladder pain (lower right ab). It is now hurting my right back, pelvis, and upper legs of my right side too. I sometimes get pain in my lower right ab where my right bladder is, when I urinate. The right side of my body's pain goes on when I am lying down, too. Would it be better to go to another doctor? Or get a CT scan or ultrasound? Do I have bladder infection??

<start> Welcome to health care magic. 1.The possibilities in this case will be repeated UTI or any calculus in the right lower ureter. 2.As your history suggest the pain gets ease off after passing urine - suggest possibilities of any calculus in the kidney or ureter. 3.In this case its recommended to get a ultrasound abdomen and pelvis - to evaluate the kidney and urinary bladder. 4. Infection features in the urine also seen in case of the calculus. 5. Some time after the antibiotic course of UTI - the intestine does gives some discomfort and pain. How so ever i recommend to get Ultrasound. CT is unnecessary radiation.Good luck.Hope i have answered your query,any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-ganesh/62888 <end>

My daughter just went to the doctor for abdominal pain. The white blood cell count was nominal. But the doctor saw a white spot on her appendix. He didn t know what it was, but thought perhaps she had had an appendicitis. Can you tell me what the spot could be and whether she needs further treatment.

I spent last night in the ER for having severe vomiting, cold sweats, and abdominal pain.

Suggest treatment for mesenteric adenitis

Thank you Doctor, After 3 months and 2 CT scans, I was given a diagnosis of Mesenteric Adenitis. The pain is acute and comes and goes, with each episode getting worse. The Adenitis was viral so I was not given antibiotics, just Percocet and an anti nausea medicine. It has been a week since my diagnosis and I am still in bed from the pain and nausea . I read that this condition can actually lead to an acute appendicitis if not treated properly. My appendix showed no swelling and my white count was 0. Do I have a reason for concern ? Thank you. Bonnie C.

<start> Hi Bonnie.Thanks for your query.It was wonderful to know that it took 3 months for a diagnosis of Mesenteric Lymphadenitis.This is a condition in which the multiple lymph nodes in the mesentery get enlarged. The commonest cause is always secondary to some infection or cancer. I thin you are less investigated than required as you are still in bed with pain and nausea.I would advise you the following:-Consult a General Surgeon.-Get further investigations to see if there is any other problem related to blood cancer or so. You writing of white count of 0 is not acceptable, this is either your you ignorance or something else you could not note.-You need a Diagnostic Laparoscopy and Biopsy of the lymph nodes for the proper diagnosis. This allows to see all the interior of the stomach and appendix and other parts of the intestine and pelvic contents. Can tackle any problem hence seen. -A course of broad spectrum antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. I hope this answer will help you to get to the root-cause and proper treatment. <end>

Suggest treatment for swollen and painful abdomen

I had shingles 4 weeks ago, the rash dried up & the scabs have fallen off but I now have shingles complications, which is PHN, what concerns me is that I have swelling on my right abdomen & very painful. I'm on 150mg of Lyrica in the morning & the same dose at night, this doesn't help much with the pain unless I take 2 still pain. Will you recommend any other pain killer or is it advisable to see a neurologist. My age is 78.

<start> Hi, Regards !Thanks for your query.The diagnosis is certainly Post Herpetic Neuralgia PHN as you have written.Considering your age which is 78 years, the dose of Lyrica 150 mg is high enough in the elderly.The swelling indicates that the inflammation is still present and the internal healing is not yet complete. The pain of PHN is more in the elderly people like you, takes far more time than the young adults would take for recovery, control of pain and other symptoms.I would advise such a patient :Neurologist's opinion and further management.Discuss about the trial of other medicines like Gabapentin / Amitryptiline - Tegritol or so, any role of other procedure that can reduce the pain. Alternative therapy like Yoga, Acupressure or Acupuncture can help a lot in reduction of the stress and anxiety of the person who is suffering from this.I hope this answer helps you to visit the Neurologist and get the proper investigations and and treatment. <end>

Suggest remedy for abdominal pain

Ive been suffering with abdominal pain for the past two months. Back in forth to doctors and hospitals. I do have an umbilical hernia. the pain is not in the vicinity of the hernia. It started out as cramping pain and was put on bentyl. I felt like my symptoms have not gotten better by taking the meds. Now the pain is more like burning. I took a CT scan that showed the umbilical hernia with fatty tissue. I had my gall bladder removed in march. Nothing shows up on my organs of concern according to the report. It says no inflammation or obstruction is visable in the intestines. my blood work turned up good. no high white blood cell count. This is totally aggravating me and I had to ask my doc for anxiety meds from the stress this has put on me. the burning is mostly on the upper abdomen left and right sides. put there is pain in other places. Any ideas on what this could be?

<start> Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. The umbilical hernia itself could give rise to some kind of dragging discomfort or pain in abdomen even though there might not be features of any intestinal involvement as such. However, the burning sensation in the upper abdomen could be due to a coincidental esophagitis because of GERD (gastro intestinal reflux disorder). If I were your doctor, I would advise you with the following:1) Elevate the head end of the bed with two blocks on each side, so that the regurgitation does not occur while lying down, and the contents of esophagus and stomach flow down with gravity.2) Some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food, and avoidance of alcoholic beverages and smoking if you do.3) Regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on your medical fitness.4) Prescription for a prokinetic agent and a proton pump inhibitor for symptomatic relief and to have a control on the acid production and facilitate movement of gastric contents downwards.5) Routine stool test for ova and cyst and treat them if positive.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef. <end>

I am Dr Shareef answering your query.From your history, and ultrasound report of fluid in the cul de sac, I would suspect you to be having a PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) which might also be associated with a UTI (urinary tract infection), which had to be ruled out by a culture and sensitivity test. If I were your doctor, I after a general physical examination of yours would advise you to get yourself assessed by a gynaecologist of your area to rule this out specially if you are sexually active. Till then, I would advise you for a course of broad spectrum antibiotics along with an anti inflammtory and a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem.

<start> Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Although it requires a physical examination, from the history alone, the lump could be an inguinal hernia which in its initial stages would cause some discomfort and pain. You would have to get it examined by a general surgeon in your area for confirmation.For the acid reflux specially at night, you could do the following:1) Elevate the head end of the bed with two blocks on each side, so that the regurgitation does not occur while lying down, and the contents of esophagus and stomach flow down with gravity.2) Some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food, and avoidance of alcoholic beverages and smoking if you do.3) Regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on your medical fitness.4) Prescription for a prokinetic agent and a proton pump inhibitor for symptomatic relief and to have a control on the acid production and facilitate movement of gastric contents downwards.5) Routine stool test for ova and cyst and treat them if positive.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem.

What causes upper abdominal pain after triple bypass?

Hi I am a 49 year old male who has had a triple bypass. I have been having upper abdominal back pain, so I went and saw my family doctor. I did blood work and a urine test. The urine test came up negative, but the blood work showed I was high in liver enzymes. I am scheduled for a CT scan tomoorw. I am a little nervous as to what they will find. What are they looking for with the CT scan?

<start> Dear thanks for the question. Although there are several causes for upper abdominal pain but if I were your treating physician I would have thought of stomach ulcers as you have had triple bypass and must be taking aspirin tablet, which can cause stomach ulcers. Since you have raised liver enzymes it could be due to hepatitis (inflammation of liver cells) but it can happen with stomach ulcers too. Your doctor is doing CT scan to look at liver mainly and adjacent organs too. I think you would require a endoscopic examination of your stomach too. Meanwhile you can take antacids tablets (omeperazole) to get rid of the pain .I hope i have clarified your queries. Do write me for follow up queries. Please rate my reply. I wish you good health. Thank you <end>

I went to a plastic surgeon and he said my abdominal muscles were stretched. but he told me a general surgeon might be able to help me I tried exercise running and got little results. I would like to get rid of this problem for good. Can you possibly help me with this.

<start> Dear thanks for the question. Firstly I would like to inform you that you need to visit general surgeon as your treatment depends on physical examination of the abdomen. If I were your treating surgeon I would have gone for ultrasound scan of your abdomen after thorough examination. It could be recurrence of umbilical hernia or simply sagging related to obesity. Umbilical hernia would require surgery again and for obesity you have several options (liposuction, exercises, diet control).I hope I have clarified your queries. Do write me for follow up queries. Please rate my reply. I wish you good health. Thank you <end>

Suggest treatment for internal itching in the abdomen

Hi Doctor, for about 6- 9 months I have had internal itching in the lower right side of my abdomen. It does not hurt but I need to scratch it. There is no external rash. At times the itch is more intense than other times it seems. Do I need to worry about this?

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query.Itching in the right lower side of the abdomen alone is a rare problem, in fact never heard of till now.The most probable cause of such an occurrence can be :-Dermatitis of the local skin.-Compression of the sensory nerve supplying this area in its course from the spinal cord to the sensory area in the lower right abdomen . Once the proper diagnosis has been made, the further treatment can be planned accordingly. <end>

Suggest treatment for abdominal pain and blood vomiting

Hiya I have been vomiting blood for the last few months definately not ulcer as I have had several OGD's, blood tests, xrays and scans everything else is working fine im in alot of pain and because I'm allergic to alot of pain killers I get given morphine when I go to hospital. As the docs can't find anything wrong with me I think thy think im a addict hence the reason I really dont want to go to hospital again! I have been curled up on my sofa now for four days unable to move im barely eating and all I can keep down is water. I have lost 4 and a half lbs in 4 days just don't know what to do. Is billiary cirrohis (apolagies for spelling!) a possibility my aunt had it before she died? I have been vomiting just blood several times a day for thelast 2 months. I have a pain in the middle of my chest sharp pains when I breathe and general tightness when I move. The upper abdominal pain that I have is excrusiating I find it hard to walk from one room to another to go to the loo I feel constantly cold and shivery even when Im piled high with blankets. When I stand I have temporary blindness which has started getting worse to the point where every time i sit up or move even slowly my head goes dizzy and my eyes black out for up to 20 seconds.

<start> Hi.Thank you for your query.Read and understood your problems.Your history suggests that you have to get admitted and investigated further as your OGD and all the tests are negative, yet you have pains, fatigue, black-outs and ll the symptoms to suggest that there is a hidden problem and you say you are not an addict. I would suggest the following in case of vomiting blood and yet not finding the reasons. :You need Angiography for the esophagus, stomach and duodenum as there is a chance to have a lesion which opens temporarily to give blood in vomit and then remain quiescent.Repeat the Endoscopy when you are bleeding may find the spot of bleeding. Once the spot is fond it can be treated with cauterization . <end>

Suggest treatment for chronic abdominal pain

mY DAUGHTER HAS CHRONIC ABDOMINAL PAIN AFTER HAVING A HEMORRAGHIC CYST REMOVED 5 1/2 YEARS AGO. THE DR. NICKED HER BOWEL AND SHE ENDED UP HAVING A BAG TEMPORARILY BECAUSE THEY DIDN T CATCH THE PROBLEM. SHE HAS HAD 12 SURGERIES BUT STILL SUFFERS FROM AN ACUTE PAIN ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE ABDOMEN THAT NO ONE CAN IDENTIFY. THIS PUTS HER IN THE ER APPROX 20-30 TIMES PER YEAR. PLEASE HELP US FIND SOMEONE TO FIND AN ANSWER. WE HAVE BEEN TO CLEVELAND CLINIC AND UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN WITH NO ANSWERS.

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query and concerns for your daughter..Hemorrhagic cyst must have bled and caused the fibrosis causing chronic abdominal pain. In addition, the perforation of the intestine must have given to peritonitis and infection and fibrosis. The cause of the pain is very much obvious as your daughter needed 12 more surgeries. Understood that you have been to Cleveland Clinic and University of Michigan without any answers. The hemorrhagic Cyst in fact would have been Endometrisis and Hormonal treatment may help her. Another possibility can be found by doing Enteroclysis and pinpoint the cause under Fluoroscopic control. It is better be seen by a Gynecologist as everyone would have missed on Endometriosis. <end>

Is it necessary to take second dose of cytotec for abortion?

hi Cytotec was perscribed by a doctor to me for abortion. on Friday night i inserted 3 tabs and within 5 hours i started bleeding heavily. i had severe pain and slight fever and upset tummy. He said i was to swallow 2 more tabs after 5 hours of insertion but i didnt do this as my bleeding was so heavy. Should i take those two tablets tonight or should i just leave them? and should i assume my abortion was successful?

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query.Read and understood that you have already inserted 3 tabs of cytotec and bleeding and pain and slight fever started. Yes, you have to swallow 2 tablets after 5 hours of inserting the first 3. Anyways since you have not taken the oral dose, better to consult your Gynecologist as she would know everything related to your pregnancy, duration and may also examine you. Completion of the abortion can be confirmed by the sac expulsion and ultrasonography the next day to confirm the the cavity is empty. <end>

Suggest treatment for severe stomach pain

Hi I carried my 2 year daughter and she's pretty heavy to me. She weighs 26lbs and she's pretty solid. when I picked her up my lower stomach started hurting real bad. Felt like harsh cramping I could hardly walk nor sit comfortably. After awhile pain went away but comes back off and on and at times when my bladder gets really full. What can it be???

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query.Lifting and carrying a heavy baby of 26 lbs can cause the lower abdominal muscles to go into spam, sprain and strain. This is the reason when your bladder is full there is pressure from within onto the muscles that cause pain in you. Yet, to confirm that there is no other problem like Hernia or any pelvic pathology I would advise you to consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, physical examination, ultrasonography and necessary tests, and also to get a proper prescription for anti-inflammatory and necessary medicines. <end>

What causes upper abdominal pain radiating to lower back?

I am having severe upper right abdominal pain that radiates to my lower back constantly for 17 hours now. The pain woke me up @ 3am went to ER @ 9am they gave me pain meds, demoral & morpheme, that only helped for about 30 minutes. They said my white blood cell count is high & they took an ultrasound of my gallbladder & kidney on the right side & said everything looked fine. They then gave me a drink that said it would help me poop bc they thought the pain was due to being full of poop. That was at 3:00pm & said to come back in 12-24 hours if still not feeling well. I have not pooped almost 6 hours later & the pain is still excruciating. Even though my gallbladder looked fine on an ultrasound could that still be what is causing this severe pain? Oh yea I am also 13 weeks pregnant & I am 31 years old. Please help I don t know what to do & the pain is excruciating.

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query.Read and understood that you are 13 weeks pregnant and 31 years old, that you have severe upper abdominal pains radiating to the lower back, ultrasonography is normal, laxatives given in a hope that passing stools may help.I would suggest you to visit the ER again, explain them that you have severe pain and that you are pregnant also. The causes of placental separation or such a severe cause like some vascular accidents has also to be borne in mind. Insist on admission and further investigations is a must as such a pain can induce abortion and its complications. <end>

Suggest treatment for lower right abdominal pain

I have been experiencing lower right abdominal pain (pelvic area) for about the last three weeks. I ended up going to the ER two times where they have done lab work, scans, ultrasounds with no results. I have seen my primary dr who also had me go through testing. I had an upper GI and lower intestine test done and that showed nothing either. He sent me to a ob/gyn who I saw and he said it probably is bowel related or muscular. I had a 2nd opinion done with another ob/gyn and she thinks its also bowel related, so now I have followed up with my primary dr again who has now referred me to a GI dr who I see next week and will probably end up having a colonoscopy done. My gut feeling is it is not my bowels but rather a female issue because I had severe pain when I was in the ER and I was also spotting at that time. Please tell me what you think as I am now frustrated and down and depressed because I am not getting any answers!! Please help!!

<start> HI.Thanks for your query.Since you have been seen by many Doctors at the ER, you Primary care and 2 Gynecologist, I would be wondering what the problem would be as you have also gone through the tests.I would advise you to see the Gastroenterologist next visit as appointment has already been done,In the meantime ask you Primary Doctor to treat this as intestinal infection or IBS.Get a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic and anti-spasmodic medicines along with the stress buster medications and you problems may be over. If all the tests are negative, get treated as IBS and go for a second opinion of the Surgical Gastroenterologist, He may advise you Diangostic Laparoscopy which may find the root cause such as PID, Appendicitis, Lymph node mass or problems related to the Ovaries and tubes.Get treated accordingly. <end>

Suggest treatment for lower right abdominal pain

Hi I have had lower right abdominal pain for almost 4 years now. I have had so many tests mri s, ct scan s , swallow a camera, drink the Berium, Finally just after the Fourth of July I started having air come out after urinating. And had another ct scan that showed acute diverticulitis with a fistula connecting bladder to the bowel, but all of that was on the left side. I got so bad that I simply couldn t walk any more. Even while taking the massive amount of pain pills I m on. I had a colon resection and the fistula removed. My surgeon said he wondered how I even got anything through that badly infected section. My surgery was three weeks ago but I still feel pain in my lower right abdomen. I am so worried that I will wind up still having this incredible pain that makes it near impossible for me to walk. I asked my surgeon if maybe that infection spread to my psoas muscle causing an abcess. Because the symptoms I have match having an abcess in the psoas muscle. I was hoping that he would take a second look at my ct scan but he just said no your problem was a fistula to the bladder not the psoas but since the infection was so bad could it have been both or do you have any ideas what else could cause this horrible pain. He said the appendix was healthy and I don t have a hernia. I want my life back

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query and an elucidate history. Read and understood your problems. History of multiple investigations of MRI, CT Barium noted missing the diverticuli.Diverticulitis ultimately culminated into the fistula between the colon and the urinary bladder, good that the surgery has been successful, but the pain persists. I would advise you to go for a CT scan of the abdomen, Blood- CBC ti see for infection, kidney and liver function test.MRI of the Back including that of the the back muscles like Psoas or so just to rule out any spread or distant abscess causing this type of pain. Send Urine for culture and sensitivity as this has bacteria from the colon and may become resistant strains to cause such a problem. <end>

What causes stomach pains with headache and sick feeling?

Hey, It s not about me, but it s about one of my best friends, and I m worried for him because he doesn t like going to the doctors, is most likely refusing to go and get checked, so I thought this was the best second option (asking online doctors). Since last Wednesday, he s been having stomach pains, headaches (which he says bad head ), and getting this sickness feeling inside. He s 23 years old, he s got cerebral palsy, but can still walk (goes side to side though), and he s been going out most of these days, either with one of his friends, just walking to places, or out shopping with his mother.) I was wondering if you could help me in finding out what s going on with him/his body? Thank you so so much if you answer a.s.a.p.! :)

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query.Since your friend is having cerebral palsy, his not going to the Doctors is understood, but if required one has to go for it. Stomach pains, headaches, feeling sick inside indicates the possibility of enteritis and may need a treatment with antibiotics and supportive medicines.Since these medicines are prescription medicines you have to take him to the Doctor, and this will help him and you to get a clinical evaluation, physical examination and proper prescription and investigations like Widal and sugar if need be. <end>

What causes stomach pains with headache and sick feeling? Hey, It s not about me, but it s about one of my best friends, and I m worried for him because he doesn t like going to the doctors, is most likely refusing to go and get checked, so I thought this was the best second option (asking online doctors).

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query.Since you are suffering from 6 years, the chances of cancer are less, but there is definitely something that matters to be diagnosed and is possible only by Laparoscopy and Biopsy of the lymph nodes to get a perfect diagnosis.CT scan is showing nodularity and hyper enhancement of the terminal ileum indicates a possibility of Tuberculosis or Crohns. Hence the necessity of another colonoscopy with biopsy of the terminal ileum and lymph node biopsy. Wait for the reports to get an exact diagnosis so that further proper treatment can be started . <end>

What causes severe upper left quadrant abdominal pain?

I am a 57 yr. old male, in overall good health, 5 7 --150lbs. I have no fever, no weight loss, no nausea, no heart symptoms and no general fatigue. I do not get enough exercise, I have never smoked, I did drink alcohol up until eight years ago. I had severe heartburn at night which is now relieved by taking Prevacid, one cap qd 30 minutes before eating breakfast. A year ago I started having severe upper left quadrant abdominal pain, relieved by lying down. I had an MRI that didn t show any abnormal findings. I had an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy. The upper EGD showed a small hiatal hernia with some esophageal varices. The stomach showed small ulcers and a sample later reveled H-pylori, treated with antibiotics. The colonoscopy could not proceed past the upper left portion of the large intestine due to an extreme bend in the intestine they could not get past. The lower colon presented with diverticula with no signs of diverticulosis. I then had a barium x-ray that did not show abnormal results. It s a year later and the pain continues. It s just left of center at the edge of the rib cage. It s more predominant after eating, but also presents during stress or moderate to heavy physical activity. It is no longer relieved by lying down, but diminishes within one to two hours after onset. The pain can be sharp or dull and normally is a 3 on a 1-10 scale. At times the pain seems to be close to the surface and other times it is deeper. It occasionally projects toward the umbilical area from the site of onset. It can also just feel like pressure, as if someone has put their fist under my lower rib. When I palpate the area it does not produce pain or relief of symptoms.

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query .Read and understood your problems.Pain in the left upper quadrant- heart burn on Prevacid - Hiatal hernia with small esophageal varices.- stomach ulcers - H Pylori got treated - colonoscopy failed but barium enema normal -All your symptoms are most indicative of a condition called Irritable Bowel Syndrome- the IBS. I hope getting the stress and anxiety controlled and some medicines can cure / help solve the problem. <end>

Just do not worry, everything will be fine. use condom next time otherwise the problems may be repeated with the Emergency Contraceptive pill nest time. <end>

What causes constant stomach ache after taking birth control? My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex, but accidently ejaculated inside her. Exactly 48 Hours later she took the Next Choice emergency contraceptive pill, and also took the second pill 12 hours later. It has been 7 days and she has continued to experience pain in the stomach and abdominal area. Is that a sign of her being pregnant? if not what could this be? Thank You

The excess gas in your abdomen could be due to some indigestion which might not be related to the typhoid fever.

Suggest treatment for severe stomach and lower back cramping pain

Hi there, I have just started taking primolut today to try to get a period as we want to try for another child and I have not had a period in a while, however I have very sore lower tummy cramping and lower back cramping, tender breasts as well and thought maybe my period might already be coming? My question is will my period still come if it was already starting to while I m on primolut? Or will primolut delay it and it will come after my 10 day course? Thank you :)

<start> Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. All the precautions including birth control pills are not 100% fool proof in protection against a pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would go for a serum HCG determination to rule this out in view of your tummy cramping and back pain with tender breasts before labeling it as a premenstrual symptoms. An ultrasound of the abdomen would also be helpful in ruling this out.Usually it is not normal for the periods to occur when you are on hormonal preparations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef. <end>

<start> Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. One could label it as IBS only after excluding other organic causes for your other symptoms like low weight and much cramps along with a partial villous atrophy, which could occur in celiac disease.

What causes right abdomen pain and bruising with high white blood count?

hi... i have recently been in and out of the dr/er for a pain on my right abdemen (about 2 weeks ago)... this morning i noticed a quarter size bruise at the site where it's been hurting.

Suggest remedy for pain in the lower abdomen

Hello! I have been having lower left abdominal pain for several months (close to a year) but it got pretty bad a few days ago which prompted me to go to the ER. The pain was severe sharp, gaseous pain before a bowel movement. I have also been experiencing fatigue (on and off) and arm and back pain for several years. In the ER they did CT scan of the abdomen/pelvis, CBC, CMP, LFTs, Lipase level, BHCG and UA. All came back negative, except for a 15 mm fundal calcified fibroid. They discharged me from the ER, but the lower abdominal pain persists and I noticed for two days now I had spotting of fresh blood. I just finished my period last week. I do have history of cervical polyp which was taken out surgically last year. I didn t hear an official result of the biopsy from the hospital, but I guess no news is good news. My OB Gyn however told me it s not cancerous when I asked him. I have been experiencing high level of stress these past two months. Is there any connection to stress? I am very concerned about this. Could it also be IBS or hypothyroidism? I really don t know. Any help would be highly appreciated. Have a wonderful day!

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query. To recapitulate: Lower left abdominal pain for nearly a year - ER -sharp gaseous pain before BM - fatigue -all tests negative except 15 mm fundal calcific fibroid - spotting fresh blood - stress for 2 months - ? IBS / hypothyroidism- With the history you have provided there looks to be a changes in the fibroid that might have caused the pain. Another reason for gaseous pain before bowel movements and stress indicate more towards IBS. I think get treated on the basis of IBS and you will be fine. Get colonoscopy on a safer side to rule out any cancer. <end>

After having a scan doctors have found a whole in his stomach due to this fluid has spilled into his body. He was unable to drink also and was told that as fluid couldn t enter his stomach it has gone into his lungs also. He is on a breathing machine and will be for a few days after having surgery to his stomach. Doctors say that he is going to be in a very bad way for the next few days as his body fights this infection. My question is will he recover from this and pull through what are the chances and also can the crystal meth have caused this rupture in his stomach also. I forgot to mention he had a gastric bypass op a few years ago too please help.

(I don t wear any underwear with an elastic band, I use one piece underwear without a mid elastic strip). My age is 66, and I have always had some issues with things being to tight around my stomach and getting stomach aches. I am 5 10 and weigh 175. I have had reflux surgery in the past.

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query. This is a rare problem which I heard of. There has to be a cause for this feeling of stomach ache if you use anything tight. There is a history of anti-reflux surgery in past but may not be related to this symptom. I would advise you the following:Consult a Neurologist for clinical evaluation, actual physical examination to see if this can be related to any problem in the spine like prolapsed disc pressing upon the spinal cord.Get an MRI of the whole spine.Consult a General Surgeon to see if there is a local cause like an inflammatory process still going on in the abdomen. Further treatment will depend upon the findings of the Specialist Doctors and the reports of the investigations . I hope we can get one reason which is treatable and cured. <end>

I have been having pain in upper left portion of abdomen for about 8 or nine months now. Right under my rib cage on the left side. It started out just every now and then, but lately it has been a constant ache. I do have problems with constipation. It has also started hurting in my back on the same side. Do I need to see a Dr. for this problem?

Suggest treatment for navel pain

Hi, I am a 31 yr old male and have been experiencing some tenderness and pain to the right of my navel, lately. I am unsure whether it is just a muscle pain or whether it is a digestive disorder. I have been exercising since the past 5 months (mainly cardio) to lose belly fat. I lost about 9 pounds in the first 4 months and another 4 in the past month. I have been diagnosed with gastroesophagal reflux disease for which I am taking omerprazole. I am also taking Miralax to increase water content in the colon. TSH, differential and CBC tests were done and everything seemed normal. CT scans of my stomach and a recently concluded X ray did not indicate anything serious but there appeared to be lot of stool in the colon. I am on a minimal fat vegetarian diet that is free of caffeine, acidic and spicy foods.

<start> Hi.Thanks for your query. Read and understood your history and the problems. You are 31 years old male with pain in the right side of the naval, exercising for 5 months for loosing belly fat, taking Omeprazole for GERD, CT scan and X-rays normal .. This indicates for a probable cause as muscular. The internal problems can be with pancreas, duodenum, transverse colon, but CT rules many of these. Get a clinical evaluation and physical examination by a General Surgeon to see if you have myalgia of the rectus muscle or a hernia in this situation for a proper diagnosis ad correct treatment. <end>

What causes swelling in the abdomen and itching in the underarms?

Hi Doctor, I am writing on behalf of my daughter. She is 50yrs old and doesn t own a computer. So that is why I am doing the asking. She has been sick since March 2014 and has been doctoring since then. Her symptoms are: swollen abdomin, lumps appearing around her body: itching from the inside with no visible signs of any rashes, her itching is under her arm, around her nipple on her arm and this is all on her rights side. She has chills and then sweats, this happens on and off during the day and night. She is not able to eat more than a couple of forkfulls of food at a time and then sometimes it comes right back up, and other times it happens while she is sleeping and has to get up and run to the bathroom and vomit. The other night when she vomited, she said she hadn t eaten much at all for dinner, because she can t and when she vomited it was brown and fowl smelling, which sounds like bowel to me. She has had a cscan, Colonoscopy, endoscopy, and the blood workup she had was very extensive, but to no avail. Her doctor doesn t see anything in any of her tests. She did say that her pancreas showed enzymes showed elevation. Her doctor is scheduling an Upper GI soon. She on her own made a dermatology appt. To date she is very disallusioned and doesn t know where to turn. I mentioned that maybe she should be seen by an infectious disease doctor. That is why I am writing to you. Hopefully, you can help. She is desperate.

<start> HI,The symptoms are of either tuberculosis or worms. Kindly get investigation for these done.Wishing you a speedy recoveryDr. Mukesh sood <end>

What causes lower abdominal pain while on iron supplements for anemia?

Hi there,I am a 25 year old active female. I am fairly healthy other than mild anemia for which I am horribly non-compliant taking iron supplements (haven't taken any for at least a few weeks now) and moderate-persistent asthma which is fairly well controlled.I have been having some fairly severe pain in my lower right quadrant for some time now. It is bizarre - comes on very suddenly and has quite literally brought me to my knees several times, but only lasts around 30 seconds, and stops as quickly as it starts (though it leaves an ache behind that tends to last about an hour, sometimes more).The pain is a sharp ache (I know that's a bit of a contradiction, but it's the best I can describe it) and is very localized to an area about 2cmx2cm - about in line with my iliac crest and just to the right of the umbilicus. It has been going on for at least a couple months, but is happening much more frequently and hurting more severely in the past week or so - today in particular it has happened several times.I have no rebound pain, and no fever. I have a history of functional ovarian cysts (lost my left ovary to a large cyst with torsion of the fallopian tube in 2005).I am wondering what this could be, and if it is sufficient to just make an appointment to see my doc sometime in the next few weeks.Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!
