What causes pain in abdomen under ribs?
Patient: Hello. I feel extreme pain in my abdomen just under the rib towards the left of my body. i could describe this pain as A heavy amount of pressure In abdomen a twisting wrenching feeling in the gut. As well my food seems to take much longer to digest, My stool is always in a mucousy state, i go the bathroom 30-35 times per day and i dont seem to be so interested in food. What could this be? This all began 3 years ago after a bout of anorexia and have gottwn nothing but worse. Doctor: welcome to Health care magic.1.It seems like you need a medical care as soon as possible.2.30-35 times passing stools is not at all normal.3.you are giving a history of 3 years ( hope you are on some medication)4.If you are my patin t i would ask for a stool sample ( to rule out any parasite or presence of any bleed ).5.Your pain/feeling on your left side is due to the underlying bowel symptoms i think.6.Get an abdomen pelvis ultrasound get done to rule out few causes.Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
