Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Intermittent stomach ache indicates the following possibilities:
Intestinal obstruction, partial one.
Colitis or gastritis.
This can be diagnosed by the following:
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position, particularly when in pain.
Tests of stool, blood and urine.
Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen.
Upper GI Endoscopy and colonoscopy as may be needed after a clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon.
You may need surgery if there is an intestinal obstruction.
Medical treatment for a long time as per the clinical evaluation and reports of the investigations.
