abscess

Avatar f tn More specifically it is called Amoebic Liver Abscess. The abscess, if it is one, is relative small and can be cured by antibiotics. No need to go in for aspiration. It is 100% curable. Also go in for a blood test along with a liver function test to test the levels of the enzymes. But, FIRST consult a good gastroenterologist. I wouldnt worry if I were you.
Avatar m tn Abdominal pain) The pain may be minor at first, but it becomes more sharp and severe. Your appetite will be reduced and you may have nausea, vomiting, and a low fever. As the swelling in the appendix increases, the pain tends to move into your right lower abdomen. It focuses right above the appendix at a place called McBurney's point. This most often occurs 12 to 24 hours after the illness starts.

Avatar n tn The pain of this intensity coming spasmodically could be due to gall stones, infection in gall bladder, liver abscess or an abscess under the diaphragm. A CT scan of the upper abdomen should be done immediately. The other possibility is intestinal spam due to celiac disease or Crohn’s disease or due to IBS. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn They had to remove a portion of my liver with the tumor. I have been having extreme pain on my right side by my liver. I got a CT scan & they found a lot of scar tissue on my liver & they also found a cyst. Could the scar tissue and/or cyst be causing that pain?
Avatar f tn I've had an abscess (it's draining and draining and draining) for about 10 years, but it hasn't gone away totally yet, but it's much better than it was initially. I take cod liver oil with butter oil and try to avoid eating a lot of sugar and refined flour. I do have high blood pressure which I heard that it may be caused by a long term infection, so it's something to watch out for. That is SO great your abscess has healed!
Avatar f tn I've been feeling not so well for about a year. A lot of stomach pain, can't really pinpoint any foods that cause the pain as one day it is ok to eat something that may have bothered me before. I have yellow loose stools. Feel tired alot and often get headaches. My hands and feet swell as the day goes on and get pretty itchy.
Avatar f tn Right upper abdominal pain can be due to cholecystitis (inflammation of gall bladder), stones in gall bladder, duodenal ulcer, abscess under the diaphragm, liver problems and abscess or due to duodenal ulcer. Right flank pain is generally due to kidney stones. Gall bladder problems have been ruled out in your case. Abscess should be seriously considered. Lower right abdomen pain is commonly due to appendicitis. The pain, can at times come and go and not give the classic picture.
Avatar m tn 5cm size collection seen in right psoas abscess. At before test of MRI at operation time it was found aaprox 11.0*4.5*5.0 cm size of psoas abscess was noted. Now, after examining the latest report Dr pant said that there is not possible to take out the psoas abscess and he too concluded that this abscess will be eliminated by the tb drugs. and TB consultant has provided me two types of tb drugs 1. Ethambutol 1200 mg and 2. Isoniazid 300 mg and rifampicin 300mg .
Avatar n tn Right upper abdominal pain can be due to cholecystitis (inflammation of gall bladder), stones in gall bladder, abscess under the diaphragm, liver problems or due to duodenal ulcer. All of these can also cause the pain to go to the back or the side. An ultrasound or CT scan of abdomen is may be required. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Discuss these possibilities with your doctor. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.

Avatar f tn After gall bladder surgery if you are having pain under the right ribs, and liver studies(were they done—if not get them done) are normal, then it could be due to an abscess. A CT scan should be done. Otherwise it can be due to lingering liver infection. It can also be due to acidity and duodenal ulcer. Take a late night snack. Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food.
Avatar m tn The fact that your son does not have any respiratory problems or other signs of illness is reassuring, and probably indicates that the current antibiotic treatment is at least keeping the liver abscess from getting worse, and may be adequately treating the abscess. Over time, the CRP should continue to drop as the infection is treated.
Avatar f tn If you have pain under your right rib and constant nausea then there could be a liver infection or a gall bladder problem. Get a liver function test, ultrasound or CT of abdomen, pancreatic enzymes, a repeat chest X-ray and hemogram and iron status.
Avatar f tn The pain may also be a referred pain from gall bladder stones, acidity, GERD or liver abscess. Please discuss these possibilities with your doctor and get this investigated accordingly. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar n tn But higher-than-normal levels of these liver enzymes should not be automatically equated with liver disease. They may mean liver problems or they may not. For example, elevations of these enzymes can occur with muscle damage. The interpretation of elevated AST and ALT levels depends upon the entire medical evaluation of the patient. It is best done by doctors experienced in evaluating liver disease and muscle disease. Were you diagnosed with hepatitis C?
Avatar n tn I would like to know what does that mean? Is that a big emergency? I have pain in the back. Is that cancer? Could you please give me an advice.

Avatar n tn I had a ultrasound and hida scan to rule out gallbladder problems. The pain gradually became worse over the weeks, pain on and off over the day, some days are better then others. I am also having upper right back pain and pain down toward the lower right back and mild upper middle stomach pain. These last two days have felt the worst. I lost about 7 pounds due to not eating much because of the pain and stress these has caused. I am sure stress makes it worse.
Avatar f tn Advanced MRI techniques focusing on liver, gallbladder and pancreas should be done. Sharp stabbing pain under left ribs could be due to acidity with gastric reflux or hiatal hernia. Take a late night snack. Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Walking around also helps clear gas.
Avatar f tn You need the vicodin for the pain because of the abscess and short term usage isn't going hurt you. Ibuprofen can also be taken as long as we keep it within the recommended dosage. Most hepatologists recommend Tylenol for pain as long as we follow the prescribed dosage either on the bottle or what our liver docs prescribe. Those of us with advanced liver disease are allowed at least 2000 mg within a 24 hr period.
2085202 tn?1373199740 In turn I had gotten a CT scan and an MRI of my abdomin and they discovered a small 10 mm cyst on my liver. I have also been experiencing pain in where my liver is supposedly located. My stools have also been a reddish brown color regularly for a very long time(never the regular darker brown that is normal) I'm so scared that i'm dying or that there is something possibly seriously wrong. I was just recently diagnosed with Diverticulosis as well following the CT scan.
Avatar m tn My wife was sent to the hospital about 5 months ago with what appeared to be a abcess in her lower colon. Ever since then she has been suffering from increasing pain in her upper right abdomen (especially sever at night). She also suffers from chills, nausea (recently leading to vomiting), and acid reflux (at night) into her esophagus. She is also Type I Diabetic and suffers from CIDP.
