What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain Post Colonoscopy?
Question: I have had two colonoscopies and the Dr was unable to "push"through to the large intestine. One problem was the liquid they gave me did not void the intestine. The Dr did not want to see me for a follow-up! Nor did she recommend another Dr and did not return my calls. Now I'm having pain in my lower right side...could this be appendix problem s or colon problem or maybe both? I also have hot flashes to the point where I I'm soaked after about 30 minutes...my primary Dr has moved out of state and I'm scheduled to move out of state in the next 30 days! Can it wait until I move or should I see an urgent care Dr right away? I am 58
Brief Answer:
You need to see a doctor soon
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic.
The symptom of right lower abdominal pain raises suspicion of appendicitis and for which early appointment with a surgeon for a thorough examination, blood tests and ultrasound is recommended. If pain is severe or associated with vomiting or fever, an immediate referal may also be needed.
Hot flushes if associated with abdominal pain, temperature, blood pressure surges or other symptoms needs endocrine work up and thyroid function tests as well as work up for carcinoid or pheochromocytoma, which can present with got flushes with abdominal pains.
As far as your other query regarding colonoscopy is concerned, it would be better if you can share the details that why did you need to have one in the first place? In that way, it can be commented upon regarding any need of having another colonoscopy before leaving the state or can it wait afterwards.
Hoping you a speedy recovery and good health. Regards.
