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

If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to eat frequently from outside if you do, to avoid any kind of intestinal infections creeping in. In addition, I would advise you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst, a urine routine/microscopic/culture and sensitivity test to rule out a UTI, and a serum HCG along with an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out an unsuspected pregnancy and any other intra pelvic/intra abdominal pathology. Till the results of clinical assessment and investigation reports are available, I would prescribe you with an anti spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor drug.

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. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
