Hi doctor I was admitted to hospital with burning pains in my abdomen on the upper left area,I also have nausea and  bloating. I have had previous surgery on my tummy for a bowel obstruction when I was a child and I had a laparotomy 2 yrs ago for an eptopic pregnancy. I had a cat scan today which showed an enlarged appendix and fluid around my intestines. I am a 28 year old female, what could be the cause of my symptoms?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum.  You got admitted in hospital with burning pain in abdomen, on upper left area, nausea, bloating, you had a surgery for intestinal obstruction in the childhood. You also had laparotomy 2 years ago for ectopic pregnancy. Today C.T.scan showing enlarged appendix and fluid around it. You are a 28-year-old female.  Burning pain in abdomen in left upper area could be due to gastric irritation due to peptic ulcer, or diet habits. Kidney infection, or infection in upper writer, or stone in the upper writer.  Appendicular swelling and fluid around suggest tuberculosis of the iliocaecal junction, or any chronic disease in that area, of course may not be related to the present symptoms.  Intestinal obstruction in the childhood may be related to the chronic infection if not congenital.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.  Best regards.
