What causes lower quadrant stomach ache?
Patient: Hi, i am anjali Mahindru. my age is 27. I got married 10 months before. after my marriage i am frequently suffering from stomachache in lower part. I got all my test i.e, ultrasound , urine & culture test but every time pus cells comes 20-25 and sterile after 48 hrs incubation at 37c. Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query..This must be due to recurrent UTI- urinary tract infections.This is common after marriage and usually starts as honeymoon- pyelitis, meaning occurring after marriage.Since the length of urethra in females is very short, they can get infections frequently and easily.If the pus cells are present but the culture is negative, one can think about tuberculosis as the commonest cause. .Both of you- meaning your husband also has to take medicines. Go for IVP and further investigations to rule out any other problem like obstruction in the urine out-flow. Visit an Urologist for a second opinion.
