Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you to stop eating from outside if you do. Outside food might cause intestinal infections specially meiosis in some regions which might give rise to gaseous distension and pain abdomen. For this I would advise you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and treat it if positive. At the same time I would advise you for a urine routine/microscopic and culture sensitivity test of your urine to rule out a UTI for pain on both sides of abdomen. In case you are a female, and are sexually active, I would suggest you for an ultrasound abdomen for ruling out chances of any missed conception/any adnexal pathology or chances of any stone diseases in the gall bladder. Also, a gynecological check-up for ruling out a PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) is important. Further management would depend on the investigation reports and the findings of a clinical examination by your treating doctor. 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. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
