Suggest treatment for abdominal pain
Patient: Hi, the last 2/3 months I hav had 3 boats of the same thing. nmost recently last night and still getting lesser pains now. Im woken by sharp pains just below my stomach which fade then come back stronger and stronger each time until it reaches a point where I start getting really hot and stripping off all clothes. U always end up on the floor in the featal position with my partner lit throwing cold water over me. I do feel nauseaous but am never sick, but then the need for number 2 as the pains continue. Eventually I go and on and of coninue to go for the next 2 hours until it changes from being hard to soft to water. COmpletely wipes me out for the whole day.? Doctor: HI.Thanks for an elucidate history. The most probable cause of such type of pain is Volvulus of the intestine ot an acute intestinal obstruction. The best way to get a right diagnosis is to have an X-ray in the standing position at the time of an attack and can be sufficient simple investigation to prove a point. IF this is not sufficient , you may have to go for CT scan of the abdomen , and all other tests of blood, urine and stool. You may need a corrective surgery once the cause if found.
