This is Arun (35 yrs old male) from Chennai, India…. From past 2 weeks I have swelling (no wound or cuts) in my external abdomen. Now it’s little bit paining…. Last month my grandfather(90+ yrs) died cause of Abdominal Cancer. I had seen in his stomach same kind of swelling but its large in size. I like to undergo treatment for this problem.

Hi Arun. Please dont worry. Simply get an ultrasound of the abdomen done. Meanwhile start yourself on Tab PAntoprazole 20mg twice daily and Tab Buscopan 1 tab thrice daily, both for 5 days. If the ultrasound is normal and the pain and swelling subsides then there is nothing to worry about. Else, consult an oncologist at Apollo or Adyar institute.
