Posted on Tue, 4 Jul 2017
Question: Hello doctor, i am male of 23 years old, height 5.7 foot, weight 84kg, my question is i had chikunguniya 9 months back, i was treated for fever and i was normal, after 1 month of fever i felt uneasy and tenderness while bending or lifting my thighs up, in my lower left abdomen near trunk bone, i ask my GP about this he said it is IBS and muscular, he gave me medicines dynapar and it felt better untill i was taking medicine after some days it felt again, he asked me to go for whole abdomen CT with XXXXXXX contrast and i did that came normal, but that something stucking feeling while bending and a dragging sensation started in lower left quardant and left inguinal area and left testicle after some months i again went for ultrasound of abdomen nothing came everythng was normal, than one day i myself went for an ultrasound of my scrotum as it pains on left testicle it came VERICOCELE GRADE 1 in left testicle, i went to urologist he examined and asked for my semen analysis and testerone test they came normal, urologist said nothing to worry it is grade 1, well he gave me some medicines for swelling and discmfrt in lower abdomen, after some day i felt a bloating on left side quardant below ribs its tender and not on right side, few days later i felt some cushion type swelling balls around my anus, i went to GP he said it is hemmrhoids and fissures but i didnt have any bleeding from it, he prescribed me medicines as follows: PECEF 200( CEFODOXIME) 2 times a day, CEEMOX-L (AMOXILLIN) 3 times a day, OMICEP-D 2 times a day, MEGANERV FORTE( FOLIC ACID etc.) 2 times a day, i took this medicine for 10 days, and started feeling left abdomen tender to touch around ribcage and left rib was tendet to touch, the bloating is worse after eating its all around left abdomen and around left rib cage, i also feel left ribs are sensitive to touch and one rib is protuding a little bit only palpable while touching, did chest X-RAY it was normal, then now from that day i am feeling bloated abdomen left side and pushing sensation below left ribs( like something is touching rib from inside), yesterday i went for whole abdomen ULTRASOUND it came normal, now this is the complete history- my question starts as follows:-

(1) : the discomfort that i have in lower left abdomen while bending is cause of VERICOCELE GRADE 1?

(2) : Why i am bloated on left side quardant more after eating?

(3) : i am aways scared if i have any stomach and colon/ rectal cancer( sometime i see red spots in stool as i read on internet the symptoms of colon/ rectal cancer).

(4) : If i have cancer would that be seen on CT with XXXXXXX contrast which i had 8 months ago? (Radiologist made me drink XXXXXXX contrast also he injected some through anus).

(5): Possibility of cancer in this young age?( no family history) .

(6): after antibiotics for hemrrhoids i felt left rib pain while touching hard and bloating or swelling on back also?

(7): PLEASE TELL ME CLEARLY WHAT IS MY PPROBLEM AS USG ALSO NORMAL SHOULD I GO FOR COLONOSCOPY IS THIS REQUIRED?? I AM SCARED OF CANCER AS SOMETIMES IN MORNING I FEEL METALLIC TASTE AND BELCHING IN MOUTH AS TASTE OF BLOOD.

(8): DO I HAVE ANY CARTILAGE PROBLEM AS ONE OF LEFT MIDDLE RIB IS FEELING PROTRUDING AND BIGGER THAN OTHER IN FRONT? IF IT IS THE CASE WOULD THAT BE VISIBLE IN X-RAY??

(9): Also i did my blood CBC test while i was on hemrhoids medicine the results as follows:- PLATELETS: 1.05 LAKHS

NEUTROPHYLS: 37

LYMPHOCYTES: 59

RBC : NORMAL .

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows:
1. The abdominal discomfort may be related with :
- gut bacterial imbalance
- IBS
- candida overgrowth after antibiotic use.
2.The fact that you feel discomfort after meal may be related with :
- IBS
- aerophgaia etc.
3. With regards to colon cancer, your symptoms are not typical for cancer. Otherwise colonoscopy will definitely rule out this issue.
4. You are reporting to have had abdominal Ct scan 8 month ago. This is why it is unusual not detecting cancer after ct with contrast.
To my opinion you should bare in mind that your symptoms are not related with colon cancer.
5-6. It not common cancer at your age. You are so young.
What you have felt after antibiotic use probably has been related with it's side effects.
7. Colonoscopy has a higher accuracy regarding large bowel cancer. Otherwise I strongly suggest that your symptoms are not typical for colon cancer.
Yes you can do colonoscopy to put your mind in peace.
8. If you would have rib problems than it would be totally visible in X - RAY. So nothing is going wrong with you ribs.
9. With regards to blood work it would be great if you can upload to me full test
report.
Hope it was helpful to you.

Varicoccele is cause by a vasal damage. it is not related with cancer.
you are asking for IBS. it may be treggered by gut misbalance, stress and chances in diet.
I insist that your symptoms has nothing to do with cancer, neither stomach or colon cancer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Sorry for my late reply. It has been due to hospital occupations.

Please keep in mind, there is nothing to be worried at your symptoms.
your symptoms are not related to cancer.

Cancer is uncommon at your age, especially without a family history.
Cancer has a lot of risk factors but causes are yet unknown.
The most common risk factors for cancer are smoking, alcohol usage, spicy food, hereditary factors, unhealthy diet.

Wish you good health
Dr.Klerida
