Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For the last few hours I have been having a sharp burning pain in my abdomen. It is now constant and on the mid and lower right side and includes my lower back on the right as well. About an hour ago I was standing up and started to feel nauseous, cold and sweaty. That lasted a few minutes and passed.
Hello! Welcome to HCM. This pain as per the history seems to be due to a stone in ureter, most probably. Upper abdominal pain is usually due to increased secretion of acid in stomach. A stone in ureter causes obstruction to urine outflow & smooth muscles in ureter contract excessively to overcome this obstruction & so is the pain, typically radiating to back as you have mentioned. Many such patients come to my clinic to whom I advise ultrasound abdomen & pelvis, X-ray KUB, renal function tests, urine routine. Treatment is done accordingly. Consult your doctor for antacids, smooth muscle relaxants like drotaverine and diclofenac, tamsulosin. Hope this helps. Wish you speedy recovery. Thanks. Regards.
