Suggest treatment for lower right abdominal pain
Patient: Hi am 25 years old. I been having lower right abdominal pain four the last four months I have taken 6 ct scans that show fluid around my colon and on my right lower abdominal. They did a drainage but couldn t get the fluid. They never tell me what it is and why it s there. Different types of cancers run in my family and am just worried,. Doctor: Hi, read and understood the history of pain in the right lower abdominal pain for which you have undergone 6 CT scans.IT shows fluid around the colon. This finding is very classical of retrocecal appendicitis. I would do a diagnostic laparoscopy in such a situation and am sure to get a disease which may not be seen in any of the investigations like Appendicitis, colitis, diverticulitis and so on. Some of these are curable by surgery and I would do it to give you the cure. Please stop doing further CT as you have already taken a high dose of radiation and with the history of cancers in the family , this wrong thing has already been done.Will also get the routine investigations of the blood, urine and stool for ruling out any other problems and for fitness for surgery.
