What Causes Sharp Pain In The Appendix Area?

default
Posted on Wed, 8 Mar 2017
Question: This morning I had a sharp pain in the area of my appendix. It went away only to come back several times through the day. Other than that I have felt mainly ok. Now I have some sharp pain that starts in my right testicle and shoots up to lower right abdomen. Any ideas?
Thanks XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query,
Testicular pain radiating to right iliac fossa can be because of-

-Testicular Torsion
Testicular torsion describes twisting of the spermatic cord within the scrotum.Twisting of the cord disrupts this blood supply leading to sudden, severe, one-sided testicular pain. Lower abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting also frequently occur with testicular torsion.

-Epididymitis and Orchitis
Epididymitis refers to inflammation of the epididymis.One-sided scrotal pain typically develops gradually with infectious epididymitis, with or without orchitis.

-Testicular Trauma
a blow to the scrotum typically causes intense testicular pain. With severe trauma, the pain often extends into the lower abdomen also.

-Nephrolithiasis.

Ultrasound abdomen.
Urine routine and microscopy.
