Lower Abdominal Pain. Diagnosed Diverticulitis, Prescribed Strong Antibiotics. Scan Showed Fibroid Tumor In Uterus.

I've been having left lower abdomen pain and was first diagnosed with diverticulitis and given strong antibiotics. A later ct showed negative but a fibroid tumor 2.6mm on my uterus. I'm still having consistent pain and dark greenish brown very muddy like bowel movements almost immediately after eating, and no appetite, and a low grade fever.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Diverticula are small finger like projections from the intestines. Presence od multiple diverticula is known as diverticulosis. If food particles get impacted in diverticula and get infected, it causes diverticulitis which is a very painful condition. you might be having the greenish stools and consistent pain because of diverticulitis.

The fibroid in your uterus is 2.6 cms and is very small to cause any significant problems to you as far as consistent pain and stools are concerned. You can get another ultrasound scan done after 6 months to evaluate the interval growth.

Hope this helps
