What Could Be Causing The Sense Of Pressure And Pain In Abdomen?

I am having abdominal pain and it feels like my stomach is being twisted around. I ve had CT scan, blood work and urine test - all were normal except for a small growth on my kidney which I am going to see a urologist about. What could be causing the sense of pressure and pain? I ve had IBS most of my life but it has always been managable by diet, etc. I am on medication for high blood pressure which I have been on for years. My stomach has never felt like this before.

Hello,

Most probably it is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it can present in varied forms. Growth on the kidney can not cause this. Take an anti-spasmodic tablet and see the results, if the pain goes away just do not worry. I hope you have no other symptoms like loose motions or constipation or nausea or vomiting. If there are other symptoms, you may need additional treatment with antibiotics and supportive medicines. You can try the medicines if you, you were taking for IBS in the past.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
