Hi. Im a 33 yr old male previously healthy. I started having low abdominal pain since 1 week, dull, 2/10 in intensity, persistant, not related to food or bowel movements, with no urinary symptoms. I had a ct abdomen and pelvis with contrast done, and an u/s of the abdomen and pelvis, that didnt show any abnormality. No hernia, no radiation. Just low abdominal heaviness/dullness. Any ideas?
Hi. Sometimes one gets a subclinical / low dose intestinal infection and not show as a full-fledged clinical picture due to your good body resistance. It is good that the Ct and USG are normal. Please undergo test of Tidal for typhoid and stool test -routine, microscopy, occult blood. May come positive as it is more than 7 days and if you have not taken antibiotics. A course of antibiotics suitable for intestinal infection with metronidazole for 5 days and to continue antibiotic for 2 to 3 weeks if Tidal is positive - should solve your problems. In the meantime you should go for boiled and cooled water, fresh homemade food and no outside food at all. All the best.
