Hi Doctors, I have pain since couple of weeks on my lower left side stomach. sometimes the pain goes and come back. In our family medical history we have liver cancer that my father past way when he was 52 years old and my younger brother that he was 2 years old. Long story short i have done some medical check up including Ultrasounds and blood test and they doctor said nothing is wrong with my liver everything is good. as i said the pain comes and go for a while. is there any tips that i can do which is helpful for me? By the way i live in Melbourne Australia. If any doctors wants to meet me i can book an appointment. Thanks

Hi,

Noted the history of pains on the left lower side that comes and goes off and history of liver cancer deaths in Father and Brother.
I can certainly understand your concerns and the stress and anxiety you must be going through when you get any symptoms in abdomen.
Sine your ultrasonography and blood tests are negative that is normal that your Doctor has already told you about, you do not have to worry about liver cancer or so.
The stress and anxiety may be causing you IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome that causes similar pains.
Normal ultrasonography means the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen gallbladder and urinary bladder are normal, there are no lymph nodes.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your Doctor or get a reference for a Gastroenterologist and get colonoscopy, stool tests.
If these are normal then get treated for IBS or anything specific that is found during the investigations.
Control your stress and anxiety and you will be fine with or without medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant,
I find this answer helpful
