Lower Abdominal Pain, Poly Cystic Ovaries Or Appendicitis?
It is possible to have appendicitis that does not so up on a blood test? I have been in a lot of pain in my lower abdomen, the doctors thinks it is either polycystic ovaries, or appendicitis. I have to wait for a ultrasound, bit in the mean time I am unable to work due to the pain. Can I have any other tests, or could it be anything else?
thanks

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
If I were you treating doctor for this case of severe pain in the lower abdomen right side ( not mentioned in query , if pain is on left side than rule out appendicitis)., I would come up with these possibilities, these includes,
1 Appendicitis , usually associated with excruciating pain ( acute cases) with vomiting and fever.
Diagnosis can be confirmed by palpation of the pain at a fix point by a surgeon by physical examination so get it be examined by a surgeon, there after , if , necessary tests as ultrasound .
2 Ovarian cyst may be cyst on the right side , this also causes excruciating pain in few cases, diagnosis can be confirmed by gynecologist .
3 The last possibility is of any stone in urinary system , which may present such sharp pain. Ultrasound will find out the exact nature of disease.
Till take pain killers and antibiotics if fever present.
Good luck.

Hello totallyfrank,
There is no specific blood test for appendicitis. There can have general blood changes for any inflammation in the body. The best test is Ultrasound which can differentiate and confirm.
It is better to wait for that or if the pain is severe try to make it earlier.
If possible try to get Homoeopathic treatment to relieve pain with safe and simple remedy.
If your problem is a chronic one, be it polycystic ovary or appendicitis, I would like to advise you to adopt Homoeopathic treatment that will cure yur problem rapidly and permanently.
If you can get back to me again with details, I can prescribe for you your right genetic and constitutional remedy.
With best wishes,
