Hi
Thanks for the query.
As I believe the more information a person gives the better is the doctor reply and thus improve satisfaction levels. Hence please answer the following
Could you give me a detailed description of your complaints such as
- Is the pain continous or intermittent?
- Is the pain dull aching or sharp?
- Is the pain reduced by some medication or act?
- Is there any thing that aggrevates the pain?
- Is there any diarrhea, blood in stool?
- Are your periods regular?
- Do you suffer from any other medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, liver disease, renal disease and so on?
- Specify your personal habits if any such as smoking or alcoholism?
- Is there history of past surgery or long term medications?
- Do you have reports of recent blood investigation esp while u had c.difficle infection?
It could also help me if you can upload a scanned ultrasound report.
Fluid in abdomen upto some level is normal. It helps to reduce friction when bowels rub on each other. When this fluid is in excess, its called 'ascites'. Ascitis occurs due to multiple reasons which needs evaluation.
Your reply to the above questions and the reports will help me answer your query in a better way.
Awaiting your reply.
Regards
