Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Does your father has spasmodic abdominal pain/ loose watery stools/ constipation/ frequent urge to use washroom?
Does he has burning urination/ frequent urination/ fever?
With the available described symptoms, there could be possibility of cystitis or gastrointestinal infection.
Your father should go for urine routine & microscopy, complete blood count and CT/ MRI scan of abdomen.
Treatment depends on exact diagnosis.
Meanwhile, your father should continue drotin and if condition won't improve then he should take tramadol for relief of pain.
He should take plenty of water.
Take care,
Dr. MAyank Bhargava

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Drotin can be taken as ordered by your doctor but this does not solves the problem or explains the reason of your fathers pain.
Ultrasound is very sketchy test and there is many diseases (especially in the abdominal cavity) completely invisible for it. That is why, lac of disease indications in ultrasound does not mean that everything is fine. Same with blood tests. Increased uric acid is sometimes and indication of a cancer.
If your father is about 50 years old, large intestine diseases like polyps or cancer should be ruled out. To do that colonoscopy should be performed.
If still nothing will be found, abdominal CT might be necessary. All this tests should be done after gastroenterologist consult.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
