Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Your colonoscopy is almost normal except XXXXXXX hemorrhoids and doesn't satisfy your abdominal problems.

You may have Gastric problems or acute gastroenteritis involving your small intestine.

You should consult with your treating physician about these possibilities. Your physician has advised few antibiotics, you should first complete the antibiotics course and if your condition is not improved then you should go for UGI endosocpy.

In right upper quadrant, a part of small intestine is present and any ulcer in this region may cause pain and bleeding.

Although possibility of infection is first in your case.

Put your query if you have.

Best regards,

Dr. Mayank Bhargava
