Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello! It is so because I m very worried and wondering what the problem is and what I should do. Yesterday (early morning) I woke up with a strong pain in my stomach. It s in the entire stomach this pain is and it is stretched across the stomach and aches. I have to sit and suffer until the pain goes away (which is delayed). I feel a little better today, but the night was tough. So have not had such pain today. Have been taking medication for pain, and are not pregnant or so (15 years, I am). So please can I have an answer that can reduce my anxiety.
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
It is good that you are relieved of your pain now. If you eat from outside specially the fast and fried food, this could be a factor for your pain by the way of some kind of intestinal infection creeping in from possibly food cooked under unhygienic conditions. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst and treat it if positive. Apart from this, if considered necessary after clinical examination, I might get an ultrasound of abdomen done to rule out any kind of intra-abdominal pathology. However, you do not have to be anxious by these information. Possibly you might not need any of these if you are completely relieved at present.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem if it persists. 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. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
