Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Abdominal Pain, Vomiting, Sexual Dreams. Done Endoscopy And Ultrasound
For the past few years I have been waking up from sexual dreams with excruciating abdominal pain on my lower left side. The pain gets so bad that I usually throw up from it. Sometimes I feel the need to go to the bathroom but when I try to push it makes it hurt more and I throw up harder. The only thing that brings the slightest relief is sitting in the shower & letting hot water run over me. The pain usually subsides after a half hour to an hour. I m female, just turned 30 & weigh about 125. I have had upper & lower endoscopies, ultrasounds & no one seems to be able to find anything. I ve never been pregnant or had any surgeries.
Hi.as per your letter,all the investigations are normal.Abdominal pain on lower left side will not be a major problem.As Ureteric colic and Gynaecological problems are excluded by Ultrasound,most probable diagnosis is Irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).Another possible cause may be musculskeletal pains due to sexual dreams which may be making your muscles stiff.So,you may be relieved after shower with hot water which relaxes your muscles.Nothing to worry.Its physiological.All the best.
