What Causes Recurring Abdominal Pains?

Have had abdominal pain located in my lower abdomon on the left side. Sometimes bleeding would occur. As time went on the pain continued but I also had pain in my upper abdomon, mostly on the right side. For a few months I had no pain, but now it's back. The upper abdon pain is stronger this time than the lower abdomon pain. Before it was the other way arround. I also have a dark line on my skindown my center and facing to the right about a hands-width under my breast, forming an "L" shape. What can be causing this? Is it a bruise? Bleeding? Is it something I should even be concerned about?

Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would after a clinical assessment of your abdominal findings, advise you for some routine tests like a CBC, clotting profile, a routine/microscopic/culture sensitivity test of the urine to rule out a UTI, a gm stain and a culture sensitivity of any vaginal discharge to rule out a PID, a routine stool test for ova and cyst, a serum amylase and lipase to rule out pancreatic pathology, a LFT, and in addition an ultrasound of abdomen to assist in the diagnosis of any intra-abdominal pathology. A gynaecological assessment for the bleeding would also be warranted. Till then I would advise you for a proton pump inhibitor and an anti spasmodic drug for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
