Could the pain in right pelvic area be due to side effects of rifafour pill?
Patient: I have pain in my right pelvic area. I had a cyst before, and the Doctors performed a procedure where they drained water / pulse to make it go away, that was done in December 2011. I had previously (in April 2011) had my apendicitis removed and absess drained in my stomach. Later they disovered that I have TB in my abdomen. I started taking Rifafour on the 2nd of December 2011, could the pain in the right pelvic area be side effects from taking RIFAFOUR pills Doctor: HiAbdominal pain can occur as a side effect of TB medicines.Abdominal pain may also be related to ovarian causes.TB drugs can raise liver enzymes which can also cause abdominal pain,jaundice,clay colored stools denote liver inflammation or damage.I would suggest to take abdominal , pelvic ultrasound and liver function test which can identify the cause of pain.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. RegardsDr.Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
