Suggest Treatment For Upper Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea
Question: I have had upper abdominal pain on the right side only that comes and goes since yesterday. It varies in intensity from mild to moderate. Today I have had diarrhea as well.
Brief Answer:
Some tests should be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
Pain in this location can be caused by a peptic ulcer, pancreas issues, stones in bile ducts or even large intestine tumor.
Bile ducts and pancreas pain usually radiates to the back. Nausea can be present.
Peptic ulcer pain is usually dull and food intake can make it worse or make it disappear (depending of the ulcer location).
Large intestine issue gives also bloating. The pain can be cramping.
I suggest you to consult your doctor. Blood work,abdominal ultrasound and coloniscopy should be done at first.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
