Suggest treatment for pain in lower right abdomen
Patient: I have pain in my lower right abdomen that is radiating toward my belly button it is a sharp stabbing pain that has been there about 8 hours. I also have blood when I use the bathroom on the toilet tissue. Is this something I should go to E R over or can this wait until next week when I go to the doctor. Pain is moderate nothing I cannot handle and is made worse by standing straight up Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query.Also thanks for the very specific history.The most probable reasons for such a pain that sharp and stabbing in the right lower abdomen and radiating towards belly button with blood on toilet paper is suggestive of :-Stone in the right ureter or -Appendicitis. This can be easily diagnosed on clinical examination by a Surgeon and a simple ultrasonography.Get this done along with routine blood, urine ans stool tests and the diagnosis will lead to a proper treatment .
