What Causes Stomach Pain While Leaning Towards Right?

Hi, I have a pain in my right hand side of my abodmen for about 2 weeks. The pain comes and goes but starts from around lunchtime until I go to bed. If I lean to the left there is no pain but leaning or stretching to the right the pain increases. There is no lump or pain when my stomach is pushed in. I went to the doctor today and he commented that I may have a blocked intescoopetine. He then said I would need a blood test and of course reading the potential symptons and I m naturally worried.

Hi! Good evening. i am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after an initial clinical examination of your abdomen, I would go for a routine blood test like a complete blood count, liver function test, and an ultrasound of the abdomen. If nothing is conclusive, I would not hesitate to go for a CT scan abdomen to delineate the exact pathology. The management would depend on the clinical finding and results of the investigation. Till then, you could go for a proton pump inhibitor and an anti spasmodic drug.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
