Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain

My daughter (34) was admitted to hospital with severe lower abdominal pain, (10 out of 10) and stabbing right shoulder pain. No fever, UTI symptoms or discharge. Initial diagnosis was ruptured ovarian cyst and no treatment, apart from pain medication given. She was discharged 2 days later (pain still 7 out of 10) and told to see a Gynae specialist in a month. After checks by her GP, Urinalysis revealed citrobacter koseri (she is now on Cephalexin). Why would this cause so much pain? And will the pain come back? Thanks

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Yes ! Severe neglected UTI could also give rise to severe abdominal pain, which might be co existing with pelvic inflammatory disease. If I were your doctor, I would also go for a repeat ultrasound of the abdomen if it was already done over there. In case of a lone UTI only, the antibiotic treatment would have to continue for a longer duration (atleast 2 weaks) for a permanent relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. 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. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
