What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain?

Last Sunday I had severe abdominal pain in the middle of the night and could not subside with any home medicine. I have to rush to the nearest clinic and with the advice of the doctor take a pain relieving injection.

What is the reason for such pain?

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

If I were your doctor, I would after a physical examination of your abdomen at the time of pain advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out pathology in any of the intra abdominal organs, a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and a urine routine/microscopic/culture and sensitivity test to rule out UTI. The possibilities could be an inflammation of an organ to stone formation in hollow tubes and viscera. Once your pain was subsided by the emergency treatment in the ER, further management could be planned as per the findings of the investigations and clinical assessment.

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.
