Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi i think its my spleen, my lower left rib cage towards the back hurts like a stabbing paing when i jog, make sudden moves, when i cough and i very slight pain when i breath deep, why am i having this problem and is there anything i can do to make it better? Thank you
I am sorry for the situation you are in. The pain on your left lower rib cage might be related to: - bowel movements - spleen - stomach - your genital organs (depending on your gender).
Therefore, before telling that it is your spleen, you should undergo a series of diagnostic tests and physical evaluation by your doctor: - abdominal ultrasound - complete blood profile - urine analysis
Depending on the results, further evaluations could be prescribed together with proper treatment.
Meanwhile, I suggest to: - avoid overload in physical activity - avoid foods/drinks that would cause gas - drink more water - take probiotics
Hope it helped! Dr.Albana
