Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Abdominal Pain
hi, just wrote to you about severe pain in lower left stomach and after organic sauerkraut for 3 days the pain subsided. However, I find the stuff vile and cannot force myself to continue with this. The pain came back, after a day out doing errands (got new glasses that seem quite a bit stronger than old ones)wore the new glasses thru the mall then drove home with them on in a blinding snow storm, when got home was dizzy and crashing into things, and after only getting up to use the bathroom had dry heaves for two days. I m 74 and thought I in good health until now. I never smoked and don t drink. Can you held me?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe lower abdominal pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like consuming foods known to cause gas in some people, such as milk products that contain lactose, broccoli , appendicitis , crohn’s disease, gastroenteritis or urinary tract infection. You should take plenty of fluids and take anaspas for pain . I would suggest you to avoid above mentioned foods , eat light and non spicy specially at night , take light walk after every meal , eat small and frequent meals. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy along with stool test . Doctor may prescribe laxative , anti inflammatory along with antacids . Doctor may also refer you to urologist for problem like UTI. For now apply warm compresses on abdomen and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
