Have pain in the abdomen. Am fatigue. Blood work, scan no problem. Colonoscopy scheduled. Suggestions?
Patient: I have been experiencing a dull mild pain in my lower left abdomen for weeks and this past week I have also been experiencing fatigue and feel like I have a fever since I feel hot, but no temp. My bloodwork and ct scan did not show anything.I have a colonoscopy scheduled, but I am very worried. What could I have and what should I do? Doctor: HI Thank for choosing HCMIf your blood test, scanning test are negative then there is strong possibility of ulcerative  colitis and the colonoscopy is the only way to confirm it, if turns negative then go for stool examination this will clear the picture, or barium meal study, if every test shows no abnormality then this could be anxiety depression related problem, Have nice day.
