What Causes Tugging Pain In The Right Side Of The Abdomen And Nausea?

default
Posted on Wed, 23 Aug 2017
Question: I am a 66 year old female, fairly healthy. I awakened this morning with what felt like a slight tugging on my right side, just above the top of my leg and over to the center a bit. As the day has Gond on, its stronger and hard to stand up straight - at this point I am slightly nauseous. I have my cervix and one ovary, everything else has been removed. I had my annual pelvic exam this past Thursday, everything was fine, I have no burning when I urinate........but this pain is elevating. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Need to rule out Strangulated hernia

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic

The location of pain and acute nature raises the concern of possible Strangulated hernia. Hernia is the outpouching of abdominal contents through weakened muscle wall. Sometimes the hernia can get Strangulated where the blood supply to the hernia contains is decreased resulting in acute onset pain.
Strangulated hernia requires immediate surgical intervention to prevent complications.

Please be advised to follow up.with emergency room as soon as possible.

Hope this answers your question
