Suggest Treatment For Lower Left Abdominal Pain While Having Bilateral Hernia And Diverticulitis
Question: I am 73 years old and had a history of bilateral hernia and diverticulitis. Recently, I have discomfort pain on the left lower abdominal area closed to the femoral groin. Sometimes with bowel movement, sometimes with some blood. I do not know what it is but it lasts for 2 months. I lost for 10 lbs per family doctor's diagnosis of gastric ulcer. But I do not think so
Brief Answer:
Further evaluation needed
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thank you for posting query at HCM.
Differentials for your current medical scenario: gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, colitis
However, symptoms should be investigated properly to reach a conclusion.
Considering your presentation and history , especially with "loss of weight ",
i would strongly recommend you to fix an appointment with gastroenterologist and undergo endoscopic examination ( esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy). The endoscopic examination will give a better picture of most of the anatomical gastrointestinal tract.
Secondly, also test for "Fecal Occult blood".
Health professionals aim to diagnose properly and manage patients according to their limited knowledge. Cure is blessed by the ONE who Created us, whose power and knowledge is unlimited .
Hope this answers your concern.
Any further questions are most welcome.
Wish you good and sound health.
Thank you.
