appendicitis

Avatar m tn I'm having stomach pain for 2 weeks, sometimes diarrhea and sometimes constipation. i went to a hospital to have a check up and gave me medicines such as eldicet and livermate. after a day my stomach still in pain at the lower part of the ribs. i hurriedly go back to the internist, different from the first one, for medication. i had my urinalysis, hematology and ultrasound. all were normal except for pus cells in my urine and the doctor said im anemic. she gave me ofloxacin and terraferron.
Avatar f tn Welcome to the gastroenterology community! This really doesn't sounds like an appendicitis. It sounds like you are having some constipation which can be caused by reduced exercise from straining your muscles. I would recommend increasing your fiber intake, your intake of fruits and vegetables, and your intake of water.
Avatar f tn He told me that if the pain persisted, within two days, I should return to the clinic or to the ER, on account of it could be appendicitis. I am eighteen years old, broke, and under the care of my parents who refuse to return me to any doctor. I doubt I have appendicitis on account of my stomach has had pain for at least a week, and there's been no sign of any rupture.
9497408 tn?1404140019 I've been having this pain in my lower right abdomen for weeks, now, and it has slowly moved towards my upper right abdomen and on the side. I went to see a doctor, but he told me I was constipated and gave me meds. I've been taking the medication and now the constipation is gone, but the pain is still there, and getting worse. The pain is mostly on my right lower abdomen, and when I put pressure on it and release it, it get's worse.
Avatar m tn For a while now, maybe a week and a bit, I have had LRQ pain. It seems to move around, from the appendix area to the groin, and wraps around to the back and kidney area. As well, a mix of constipation and then diahrrea. I'm really quite terrified of it being appendicitis or worse yet, peritonitis. I have seen two health professionals, one at a clinic and the other in the emergency room, both of them saying its nothing, perhaps just a pulled or strained muscle.
Avatar n tn If you believe you are experiencing appendicitis pain, please call your doctor immediately. If s/he is not available, a visit to the ER. Vomiting with appendicitis is usually due to an emergency situation, so you don't want to wait until that happens. Be well.
Avatar m tn For the past few days I've had pain right above my hip but its not severe and i don't have any other symptoms but I'm very scared right now because i think i have appendicitis i don't want surgery...my mom who is a nurse said that it cannot be that because the pain i describe isn't severe and that i should lay off the coffee that i drink.
671285 tn?1292660161 Are my symptoms classinc signs of IBS? Stress? Or am I having appendicitis? I am scare though. The doctor cannot see me until next week. Dont know what to do. Feel sick.
Avatar n tn I recently had a CT scan the doctors thought I had kidney stones or appendicitis only to find a 8.4 cm x7.2 cm x 4.3 cm multicystic structure on my right adnexal with soft tissue centrally that maybe related to ovarian tissue. I have a gyn appointment for an ultrasound. What is the chance that it is ovarian cancer, since it is so big is there a great chance that it could be more dangerous. Thanks for your help.
Avatar f tn I have all if the appendicitis symptoms ( bloating, diarrhea, constipation, severe abdominal pain followed by vomiting) but aren't these all pregnancy things to? I'm 41/2 weeks.
Avatar f tn I went to out of hours dr at night and they sent me to hosp. No sign of appendicitis. They found an ovarian cyst but not on the side that is sore. Dr said it is random pain...still have the pain tonight. Any ideas what it could be. I have no other symptoms. Should i go to gp?
Avatar f tn I have lower abdominal pain, constipation, 99° temp, nausea, but no rebound pain. I’ve had this since saturday and it’s just getting worse. should i go to the doctor or just wait?
Avatar f tn Ty so much for taking the time to read my post :)..I have since done exactly what you were suggesting. The outcome was very satisfying,but crazy thing was it came from a little office on the side of the road,versus the University that done the proceedure..Isn't that insane!?
Avatar m tn Hello, I'm a 19 year male college student, and I have had this problem for several years. At random moments, usually pretty rarely, I will get a sudden, sharp pain in the lower right area of my abdomen. It will cause me to panic for the brief second that it lasts (i'll clutch it etc..), because it feels really severe. It always goes away though, and since it's been a problem I've had for a long time, I don't really think it's a big issue.
782550 tn?1333484257 Yeh I was trying not to bring up appendicitis.
Avatar f tn I could easily all be constipation. Try this and see if it helps with the constipation. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WVYB8Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?
Avatar f tn ve looked into appendicitis symptoms and wondered if I should be seen soon, or only if the pain returns?
Avatar n tn You are correct that this is not an acute appendicitis, but there is a possibility that this is a chronic appendicitis. This is almost surely not an ulcer of the rectum as you don't have any of the same symptoms.
Avatar n tn chronic involvement of appendix (many a times ultrasound misses this as the appendix in such cases is hidden behind loops of intestine and typical symptoms of appendicitis are absent), involvement of kidney and inflammation of your intestine. Lower right abdomen pain is commonly due to appendicitis. The pain, can at times come and go and not give the classic picture.
Avatar n tn My bowel movements seem pretty normal. Any loose stool or constipation resolves itself in a day. I do have hemorrhoids from giving birth to my kids. They never really bother me( a little itchy sometimes) so I have opted not to have them surgically removed. So I do occasionally have some bright red blood when wiping but was told that was the hemorrhoids. I dont know what to think now. I truly thought it was kidney pain and all related to that. But the tests seem to becoming up negative.
Avatar n tn Constipation and pain in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen may be signs of appendicitis. However, you also mentinoed bleeding- which makes me wonder if you have a hemorrhagic cyst on your right ovary. In any event, you need to get in as soon as you can to a doctor to be evaluated about this situation.
Avatar f tn I have either an upset stomach or constipation and daily dizzy spells where I also feel nauseus (sp?) and weak aswell. Living in the UK I went to see an emergency doctor as with my job and studies I don't usually have time to see my actual Dr. They told me to see a nurse who checked my tummy for swelling and any pain by pressing it in certain places. She also tested me for a UTI and pregnancy. Everything came back negative.
Avatar n tn heating pad on your tummy, drink lots of plain HOT water, high fiber foods and NO TYLENOL. Pain meds will cause you constipation. Sounds like you are experiencing irritable bowels, if you have had alternating constipation and diarrhea, with bloating. I have had the same issues and acu pressure has helped too. Beginning on the right lower side of your abdomen, beginning massaging in small upward circles.
