If the pain is mild, he is able to drink liquids, and you have no signs of complications, treatment may include: Medicines such as antibiotics and pain relievers. Changes in diet, starting with a clear liquid or bland diet that is low in fiber until the pain goes away, then increasing the amount of fiber. To establish the severity of diagnosis, you should do CT scan or colonoscopy.If the pain is severe and he is not able to drink liquids, or you have complications of diverticulitis, a hospital stay is needed. Treatment will include: antibiotics given in a vein, intravenous fluids and nutrition only (no food or drink by mouth) for up to a week to allow the bowel to rest. Only in more severe cases, surgery may be required.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein <end> | What causes sudden abdominal pain?

302 | Suggest medication for itching in the lower pelvic area | I have a burning itching on my lower pelvic stomach area. It is also has bumps sometimes when I have to scatch it . It seems to be very hot sometimes. I have used jock itch medicine , lotions , medicine for itching. and powers. this has been going on for 2 or three days. | <start> Hi, I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns. The burning itching sensation on your lower pelvic stomach area with bumps sometimes is suggestive of a possible allergic reaction (to perhaps insect bites) or fungal infection of pelvis (jock itch). A photo of the affected area will help determine the right diagnosis. Apart keeping good hygiene locally, and applying jock itch medicine, lotions and medicine for itching; you need to take oral anti-itching meds (anti-histaminic). If it won't improve at the end of the week, should consult with dermatologist as you might need prescription meds. Wish fast recovery. <end> | Suggest medication for itching in the lower pelvic area I have a burning itching on my lower pelvic stomach area. It is also has bumps sometimes when I have to scatch it .

My skin then becomes red and itchy of sorts | <start> hernia usually presents with pain and a bulge in the abdominal wall on straining, sometimes the hernia is too small to create a bulge and in such cases we do not advice any treatment. putting finger on the location on abdomen and coughing can help you feel and localize a hernia if one is present. you will feel a slight push against your finger. as for your itch it could be due to a number of reasons, it could be allergic response to the fabric your wearing or anything else that your skin might have come in contact with. take a simple antihistamine and if the rash resolves, you'll be fine, but if it persists or worsens then you could consult your physician or dermatologist. <end> | What causes pain and skin itchiness in the lower abdomen?

305 | How can severe pain caused due to hernia be relieved? | I have an abdominal hurnia that has become extremely painful when I walk, reach up, bend down, or lift something. I was diagnosed with it 3 months ago. At that time the Dr said to just push it back in which did work until today, it will not pop back it. No fever. | <start> Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.sif you cant push it back or there is redness of the skin overlying hernia or there is pain and fever in progressive trend, then you need to see doctor urgently since it may indicate incarcerated hernia which require surgical operation as soon as possible. If these things are not present then you can treat it by laying down and taking painkillers and try to push hernia back after you relax. However, I suggest to plan surgical repair of hernia in future since it may just become larger and cause more pain then it cant be cured with any other treatment but surgery so you should consult abdominal surgeon in short time. Do write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always available to help. Best wishes. <end> | How can severe pain caused due to hernia be relieved?

307 | How to treat severe abdominal pain? | My husband was just prescribed sucralfate today. He takes Prilosec in the AM, and waits an hour to eat, he has to wait 30 min before he can this new RX, also he eats an hour after the Prilosec, this new RX says to take on an empty stomach.

What do you suggest he do? | <start> Sucralfate is definitely the right drug for your husband.As your husband is on Prilosec, I suppose he is suffering from Gastritis or ulcer.

Some days are worse then others.

You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. Also, certain antiacid medications may be required by diagnosis should be established first.Hope this answers your question.

Get confirmed by clinical examination done by a General Surgeon, get a prescription for painkillers and get an appointment for surgery.He may not operate you immediately, will wait till the hernia is well formed. Muscle strain can be elicited by local pressure and there will not be any impulse on coughing as seen in hernia. get clinical evaluation and treatment done as advised. <end> | What causes acute pain in lower left side of abdomen while sneezing?

And my stomach starting to hurt mornings im usually ok than by night i start hurting what should i do go to the hospital where i had the surgery done or what. My dr gave me strong antibotioc meds and cream. But they seem to be getting worse. Thank u. | <start> Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Understanding your concern. As per your query you have abdominal pain post a gallbladder removal surgery. Well there is usually minimal pain associated with this operation. The abdomen will be sore as well as the small incision sites . As you become more active the amount of pain medication needed should decrease quickly. It will go with time . I would suggest you to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and consult with your surgeon again if condition doesn't get better . Doctor will examine physically or order ultrasound to rule out any problem or infection and treat it accordingly .Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari <end> | What causes abdominal pain post a gallbladder removal surgery?

353 | Suggest remedy for sharp abdominal pain and nigh sweats | I have a history of a hernia which was diagnosed 2 years ago. Today is the first day that I noticed I did not have my normal bulge which has been there for 10 years. I was admitted to the hospital yesterday after passing out following a bowel, I was discharged today from the hospital because they thought I had a cardiac issue, I have never had this type of issue before. The day before I wore a tight girdle which provided much relief from a large hernia that I was diagnosed with 2 years ago. I kept asking if by wearing the girdle I could have caused an issue with the bowel, I was told no. While I was in the hospital, I have had no appetite and I shared concerns that when I tried to eat anything today it caused discomfort in my abdomen. I also developed a headache on the left side. Since I have been home I have vomited just a little, have not urinated or had a bowl movement, I have a sharp pain on my right side and pain in my back which is also on the right side, and woke up with night sweats. Is this something to be concerned about now or can I wait till morning. | <start> Hello!Thank you for the query.The main problem with hernia is that it may stuck and cause bowels obstruction. And you never know when and if its happens. Typical symptoms of bowels obstruction are nausea, vomiting, lack of stool and gasses, bloating and sometimes cramps.The other thing is that you have also urinating problems and back pain. This makes kidney infection very possible. Actually with bowels obstruction kidney infection can appear as you do not absorb water and do not urinate enough.Both conditions can be life threatening. That is why you should not wait with them. Please go to ER. Urine analysis, abdominal x-ray and ultrasound are necessary. Surgery might be the only treatment.Hope this will help.

367 | What causes severe back pain radiating towards leg with abdominal cramps? | Last night, I had horrible lower back pain that radiated all the way down my right leg into my foot. Today, the back pain isn't as bad. However, I'm having period like symptoms; lower abdominal cramps, nausea, lower back ache, light headedness/headache, and even the period smell when I use the bathroom. Is this normal? | <start> Hi.Thanks for query.Noted your history of sudden horrible pain in the back that got radiated to the right lower leg to foot. This is suggestive of sciatica.This would have been enhanced by the congestion caused in the pelvis by the menstruation which you got the second day or will get soon as you have symptoms like that. This is normal meaning these things can occur simultaneously. I would advise you the MRI of the lower spine to see the cause of sciatica, its extent and to decide the future course of action for the cure. This may be done by medicines and physiotherapy, weight reduction and so on. If the conservative measures fail, you can go for surgery. Consult a Gynecologist if there is any gyne problems. <end> | What causes severe back pain radiating towards leg with abdominal cramps?

371 | What causes pressure on the abdominal region? | Maybe... I am Caucasion, slim build ,5 8 and 145lbs ,no huge belly,(except after a too large meal....) age 67. H/O CABG X 3... 27 years out. Asymptomatic , Indolent Follicular B Cell Lymphoma X 8 years with H/O 10cm Lymph node mass of Mesentary. No past treatment course needed. Otherwise healthy. I workout moderately X 3 per week. I seem to be experiencing what might be PVC s( I can feel the repolarization pause and a cough) or possibly PAC s with aberrant beats up to 6 times per minute..but only on occasion.
