What Causes Right Side Abdominal Pain Along With Constipation?

I had a scan about 6 weeks ago which confirmed at present i am Cancer free after 6 secession of Chemo i had a tumor in right overy and loose cancer cells in my upper abdomen great to be clear. I am prone to constipation but i find Movicol works well with correct diet. For a long time i have had a slight grumbling pain high up on my right side. Of late it is getting worse comes and goes now triggered when i eat. If i press on it at times it feels tender and hurts i mentioned it to a doctor and she said it may be a small bleeding ulcer but offered no treatment. I am thinking of going to A an E at hospital where i had my treatment tomorrow. I am 76yrs old. Have you any suggestion. Ethna Dunne from Dublin Ireland

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

You should confirm this bleeding ulcer through immediate upper endoscopy. Plus need abdominal ultrasound and colonoscopy to identify what's causing bloating. Should consult with gastroenterologist.

For the moment, I advise to:

- avoid foods that would aggravate the symptoms
- continue taking Movicol
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
