I have a dull pain in my left side, under the ribs. I believe its in the spleen. What could it be? Also Im having this pain due to strained efforts also on the left side of my pelvis. I have a family history of hernias in this exact place (my grandfather went through a rough patch due to that) but an ecography showed nothing, at least in the intestine... Thanks a lot in advance.
Hello and Welcome appreciate your concern. I would advise a physical exam to look for a hernia, an ultrasound abdomen to look for enlarged spleen if you are worried. A CBC to look for decreased platelet count and anemia. I would empirically recommend a two-week course of PPI such as Pantoprazole and a pro kineticlike topside to see for improvement your symptoms persist please fix an appointment with your doctor so that a physical exam is performed after a complete history and the necessary investigations are done to look for any other cause wishing you best of healthThanks
