Had Nausea, Diarrhea, Pain In Urination And Groin Area, Ended Up Dying With Perforated Intestine. What Else Could Be Done ?

My mother in law was having nausea, diarrhea, pain in urination, change in bowel habits, pain in groin area when moved, they took a blood sample and said the white blood count was up but did not further test to see it anything worse was happening.SHe had a hernia and two days later she ended up in the hospital with a perforated intestine and died because the doctor did not think the uti was severe enough to have more test run.

Hello,
Sorry for death .
The main reason of death was perforation in intestine.
Sometimes due to many factors ,doctors could not be able to diagnose the disease.
In perforation there develops peritonitis and that become a cause of death.
This situation's symptoms simulates urinary infection.
Diarrhea occurs due to increase in the movement ( motility) of intestine and this increased motility develops perforation .
Good luck.
