Pain in the stomach, nausea, severe itching. Cause?
Patient: I am a 22 year old female and I have pain throughout my stomach and it helps when I eat sometimes but not all the time. Tums doesn't help either. I have normal Bowel movements and urination but the pain makes me sick to my stomach and makes me want to vomit. I had uncontrollable itching for about 9 months and it stoped about a 3 weeks ago with the help of clobetasol propionate ointment. Usp, 0.05%. I still ich a little sometimes but not as bad It's just one problem after another and I need help! Doctor: Hello! Welcome to Health care magic! The abdominal pain when relieved after food and nausea is in favour of a peptic ulcer.  If your food habits were irregular or too spicy, or you have lot of stress, this could be a possibility. There are other possible causes too like chronic hepatitis, colitis, etc.And the itching need not necessarily be related to the abdominal pain. itching can accompany abdominal  pain in a hepatitis. It can also be due to an unrelated problem - fungal infections of the skin, dryness, etc. So kindly get evaluated throroughly and see to that you get a liver function test and hepatitis screening to rule out liver pathologies. Hope you get well soon! Take care!
