Brief Answer:
Needs investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate:
Male/64 - cystoscopy on Oct 2 - family Doctor has no answer - pain in right lower abdomen - Urologist and Family Doctor has ruled out hernia - wants suggestions...
First of all hernia can not cause in the lower abdomen unless it is very very large that you do not need a Doctor to say about it or when it is obstructed or strangulated (when the pain is one of the most severe).
The cause of the pain in the lower abdomen can be as follows:
Enteritis
Colitis
Appendicitis
Diverticulitis
Lymph node mass or any other inflammatory process in the area of pain.
Lower ureteric stone
and so on.
I would advise you the following:
- First of all please give me some details and feedback for me to understand the problem better and to assist you better:
Since when have you got this pain?
Is it dull or severe and is it in spasms or continuous?
Any associated symptoms like bloating, nausea, vomiting, change in bowel habits, urinary symptoms, fever or chills?
Any investigations done?
I would advise you the following:
Tests of blood, urine and stool.
Ultrasonography to start with and confirmation by the CT scan.
These tests along with clinical evaluation and examination may give you the correct diagnosis and a plan for treatment.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask further relevant queries if you need to or if your feel that there is a gap communication.
