Suggest Treatment For The Acute Pain In Right Side Of The Abdomen
Dear Sir/Madam,
One of my male relative is suffering from acute pain in the RIGHT SIDE of the abdomen region. He has referred various doctors in Kolkata but in vain. Six months ago he has been diagnosed with URINE INFECTION & was cured after medication.
The pain IS NOT CONSTANT but appears from time to time. When the pain occurs, it lasts for 2-3 days non-stop and is healed after taking the prescribed medicines by local doctors. There is no occurence of fever but gastric tendency is there and the patient is unable to take his normal diet during such pain occurence.
PLEASE ADVICE AS TO WHICH DEPARTMENT SHOULD WE APPROACH AT CMC VELLORE

Hello
As you mentioned that there develop acute pain in the right side and 6 months ago he was diagnosed as UTI patient and cured . Now once again pain recurs , so this type of pain may be due to these possibilities , these includes.
1 Recurrent renal infection as this is most common cause of pain in this areas . So get in urine culture and drug sensitivity test.
2 If your male relative is young , possibility may be appendicitis ( chronic ) .Get in M R I as well as ultrasound of appendix . However physical examination also play an important role.
3 Tumor in intestine or ulcer is the another reason of such pain. Again M R I will find out exact disease.
As far as concerned department in VELLORE , you should consult Gastro-enterolgy dept.
Good luck.
