Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain, Constipation And Headache
Hi there, I am 48 years old and have been feeling unwell these past 4 months, and unable to work. I have severe abdominal pain, swelling, constipation, constant fatigue, nausea, increased headaches, dizziness and blurred vision. I have been depressed, irritable, frequent urination and have had urine retention I had to go to hospital several times to remove urine, last time was just 2 days ago 750 cc taken out with cathador. I have been to my doctor, have done several tests, still to no avail no diagnosis. Please if you could shed some light of maybe what to look for. Thanks so much for you time.

Hi.
4 months is high time to suffer from such a problem and not yet got properly diagnosed.
I would advise you the following to get an appropriate diagnosis based on your symptoms which you have noted.
A proper history, clinical examination, investigations as per these findings alone can lead to a proper diagnosis . This is most important to lead to a proper management/ treatment.
Blood- complete blood picture, kidney functions tests, blood sugar fasting and post-lunch,
Urine- routine,microscopy, culture and sensitivity ( before start of antibiotic)
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
Urologist's opinion, cystourethroscopy, Intravenous pyelography and all the relevant information.
Tuberculosis, Cancers has to be ruled out fast.
