What Is The Pain In The Bottom Right Side Of The Stomach?

Male 32. I had pain on the right side of my stomach. went to the ER thinking it was appendicitis but they didn't find anything even after doing an ultra sound on my genitals. I am not in pain but I do feel something (feels like air inside) in my stomach and the bottom right side of it too. What could it be? It as been 3 days now they gave me oxycodone/acetaminophen. I took one before going to bed last night. Slept well. pain was gone when I woke up but with the time it came back. any idea/suggestion on that?

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

Appendicitis is not the only pathology which could give rise to such symptom on the right lower quadrant of abdomen. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a stool test for ova and cyst to rule out colitis, a urine routine and microscopic examination followed if need be by a culture sensitivity test to rule out a UTI, and possibly an ultrasound abdomen to see if there is a ureteric calculi on the right side. Further management would depend on the result of clinical finding and reports of the investigaitions.

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. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
