I am a 77 year old male. I have had lower right side abdominal pain (below appendectomy scar) for about four years. Now for the last year I also have the same kind of pain on my lower left lower ab also. This left side pain radiates onto my left testis. It is a stabbing needle type of pain. Sometimes excruciating pian. I now also get this pain on my right side that radiates on to the right testis. What could be causing this pain? A recent ultrasound showed no torsion.
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any chances of a calculus in the ureter which could give rise to such pain both in the abdomen, and a referred pain to the testes. Further management would depend on the findings of the ultrasound. Till that, I would advise you for an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to eat any food from outside if you do. I would then get your stool tested for ova and cyst to rule out an intestinal infection, and treat it if positive. If all are normal, I would not hesitate to go for a thyroid function test for you considering the history of sweating and cramps. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
