What causes pain in right lower abdomen?
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i had an abortion where the fetus was removed at 5months,and iv been having pain on my right lower abdomen since then, i was diagnosed with pid a year ago.could my fallopian tubes be blocked? Doctor: Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.The pain on the right side of abdomen could be due to a persisting pelvic infection, or could be due to a urinary infection after exclusion of any chances of appendicitis by a physical examination. If I were your doctor, I would have advised you for a urine routine/microscopic/culture sensitivity test, an ultrasound of abdomen and routine blood tests like a CBC and ESR. The status of the tubes could be known by a radiological investigation like an HSG (Hystero salpingogram) by an experienced gynaecologist in association with a radiologist. Till the reports are ready, you could go for an anti inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.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
