Could The Pain In Abdomen Be Due To Hereditary Spherocytosis?
My daughter is 13 years old and has hereditary spherocytosis. For the past week everyday she says I don t feel good . She has allergies or sinuitis and also complains of abdominal pain. A month ago she went thru ultrasound of her whole abodomine and nothing was found. I am concerned about puberty and having HS

Hello
HS, if it is going to cause abdominal pain, does so because of gall stones or an enlarged spleen, but if her scan was normal then the pain is not related to HS
This could be a peptic ulcer or pancreatitis so she needs blood work and an upper endoscopy to check for those
