Hello doctor, I am a 31-year-old male. I have discomfort, pain in my left side of the stomach below the rib cage for the last one year. It is there for 24 hours. Sometimes increases after eating rich food although I am not a heavy drinker, sometimes pain increases after five pegs. I did the following tests, USG: normal of all organs, endoscopy: normal of all parts, Colonoscopy test was normal. Stool test- Mucus +, starch +, vegetable +, pus 1-25. CT scan upper abdomen- Liver enlarged 165 mm and tiny cyst 3.7 mm. Conclusion: hepatomegaly with a small hepatic cyst. SGPT/SGOT normal. Amylase is normal. These are the test and reading. I have not been given any medicine. My question is what is the problem? Sometimes, I get burning sensation below the abdomen in the right side too. Please advise.
Hi. We are here to help you. You are suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I would highly recommend you to stop alcohol, as it will otherwise harm you. I would advise following in such scenario. To take a proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole and Rabeprazole. To avoid fat, pepper in the diet. To take smooth muscle relaxant like Mebeverine for stomach pain. Drugs like Chlordiazepoxide and Clidinium bromide are used in refractory cases. These medicines will surely help you. I have lots of my patients who improved on these medicines. Share my opinion with your doctor before you act upon it.
