What Does Severe Lower Abdominal Pain And Loss Of Appetite Indicate?
Hi iv had pains in my stomach for nearly a week now and they seem to be getting worse not better. The pains started just above my belly button moved to the left and have been in the right ever since. Iv felt reAly sick and havent been able to eat anything yet I dont feel hungry. Iv also had a pain under my arm. I was taken i. Hospital the weekend with suspected appendicitis but they believe its not that. They left it down to a cyst on the ovaries, should I be feeling like this? And do u think it is?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The indication for the severe lower abdominal pain and loss of appetite may be : Clinically with your history , this is more suggestive of appendicitis. It is unlikely to be due to ovarian cyst unless it is twisted or so.
I would advise you to go for the following: The tests of the blood, urine and stool. Most important is the CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis as this would confirm or rule out the possibilities to get a proper diagnosis and a plan for further treatment. By this time you could have taken a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and supportive medicines like probiotic and painkillers.
