How do i get rid of an abdominal pain?
I just started having an abdominal pain a few minutes ago. I haven’t had abdominal pain in quite a while. It’s been a really long time. But it just came right now. What do i do to help it get better?
What side and what area is the pain?
Anything could be wrong that can cause abdominal pain. Is it upper right, lower right, upper left, lower left?
Do you have a fever with this?
Depends on where it is and what’s causing it. If you’re possibly pregnant it could be that or if it’s on one side it could be ectopic pregnancy (go to e.r.), ovarian cysts (see doctor), appendicitis (go to e.r.), gallbladder (go to e.r. or doctor), gas pains (take antigas), stomach problem or acid in there (see doctor), could be overgrowth of bacteria in there that can be fatal (see doctor and may need e.r.). It could even be menstrual cramps but unless you post back with where you’re hurting it’s hard to guess and no one can really diagnose on the Internet. Eating something if you have a life threatening situation is not a good idea. I had an intestinal infection and didn’t know until I got seen by a gastroenterologist who gave me antibiotics and something for the bowel cramping. I initially thought ovarian cyst, dr. thought appendix, and then other doctor found it to be an intestinal infection and told me it would have been fatal had I not gone in. If you edit your post with additional information I can give you more info and possibilities but I would see your doctor if the pain is severe.
Chronic Pain sufferers and Health care professionals PLEASE:?
My father suffers from chronic pain daily. He has neuropothy, degenterive disc disease and arthitis. He is unable to take any NSAIDs due to his severe stomach problems and actually bled out on Celebrex. Are there any new innovative treatments or recommendations that you know about?
i have a pain pump, and it is wonderful. i had no life due to severe low back pain – could not walk on many days – and inow i have choices of activites on a given day. it’s not a total solution – i ake “breakthru meds” 1-2 times a day – but it is so much better than the previous four years. no, we folks with pain pumps are not “high” on medication. there is no effect like that at all. even the as-needed meds – which are no stronger than truly needed – do not have such effect. IMHO, anyone whose life is limited by constant pain should consider being evaluated to see if this is a good solution. it is not appropriate for all types/locations of pain. however, it is a far better solution – more effective and safer – than NSAIDS as the risks of gi bleeding and renal failure are no longer present.

Stomach Pain and Heartburn of Holiday Eating. 7 Secrets Rev
symptoms to Celiac disease?
On and off for the past year I have been having really bad stomach pains. So I went to the GI doctor and she thought it could be a stomach ulcer. So she gave me an upper GI test and tested me for celiac disease. The results came back i didn’t have a stomach ulcer but I did have celiac disease. she explained it to me and told me that I should stay away from gluten and that was that. I honestly don’t follow the diet at all but i started feeling better and I pretty much just forgot about it. But lately my stomachs been acting up again, ive noticed my stomach mostly the upper part has been bloated for the past 3-4 months, ive been tired all the time, and also (embarrassing) alot of Abdominal gas, Diarrhea, and very oily/fatty stools. So i was wondering is this all happening because of the Celiac disease or should i go back to the doctors?
Yes, this is all happening because of celiac.
Celiac disease is a gluten intolerance. Many people call it an allergy, but it’s actually not. It is in fact an autoimmune disease. Your body thinks that gluten is harmful, and sends white blood cells to attack it where it enters the bloodstream. During the attack, the villi in your intestines used to absorb nutrients are killed, and so you become malnourished, no matter how much you eat. It affects your digestion, metabolism, and causes major pain, and can even lead to severe cancer if left unattended.
You don’t need to go back to the doctors for now. Start off by cutting gluten from your diet COMPLETELY. This is absolutely vital. Every time you have anything with gluten, you are damaging your body pretty badly. Any villi killed off in your intestines can take weeks to grow back properly.
So what does cutting out gluten mean?
There may be no products made from wheat, barley, or rye in your diet. Do not buy anything from the grocery store that has them listed in the ingredients. Additionally, avoid anything with the ingredients “modified corn starch”, or “caramel coloring”. Both of those will often have wheat in them. Also, if you like asian food, avoid anything with soy sauce, oyster sauce, or hoisin sauce. Avoid any packaged instant foods. Avoid eating restaurant/fast food that is deep fried even if it is not breaded. Finally, make sure all your dishware and cookware are cleaned thoroughly. When anyone uses flour in your house, clean off all nearby counters/tables to make sure that there is no cross contamination.
If after a while, you still feel tired all the time, you should go back to your doctor for some bloodwork. Often times, celiacs will lack sufficient amounts of certain vitamins/minerals in their blood. You may have to take a multi-vitamin.
Celiac is a very serious disease and following these steps will drastically reduce your risk for many other diseases such as cancer.
The Untold History of The Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Part 3 (3/6)
Does anyone know what endometriosis is?
I really want some professional answers or someone who knows a little about this because i have been having massive lower abdominal pains and my doctor suggested seeing an adolescent OBGYN to check for problems such as endometriosis. Any idea what this is? Is it dangerous?
Summary: Endometriosis is very common; the cause — and why some women have endometriosis and many others do not — has not been fully fathomed, although there are several prevalent theories; most women with endometriosis have no symptoms; but pelvic pain during menstruation or ovulation is a frequent symptom of endometriosis; endometriosis may be suspected by during a physical examination; it is confirmed by surgery, usually laparoscopy; the available treatment includes medication for pain, hormone therapy, and surgery.
Endometrial cells line the uterus and are normally shed each month during menstruation. When endometrial cells grow outside the uterus, the cells implant. These implants occur most commonly within the fallopian tubes and on the outside of the tubes and ovaries, the outer surface of the uterus and intestines and anywhere on the surface of the pelvic cavity. They can also be found, less often, on the surface of the liver, in old surgery scars or, very rarely, in the lung or brain.
Endometrial implants respond to the hormones of the menstrual cycle just as does the normal endometrium. The implants build up during the month and then they break down and during menstruation they bleed internally. Blood from the implants cannot leave the body via the vagina (or by other exit). The internal bleeding, tissue inflammation and, later, scarring cause the symptoms of endometriosis.
Endometriosis occurs in the reproductive years. The average age at diagnosis is 25-30. (It has been reported in girls as young as 11.)
The central theory of the cause of endometriosis is retrograde menstruation. Blood and endometrium tissue from the uterus back up into the fallopian tubes and drip into the pelvic and abdominal cavity. Retrograde menstruation may, it is thought, be due to a defect in the uterus or it may be related to the way the uterus contracts when it is expelling the menstrual tissue. Genetic factors and the immune system probably are also important in determining which women develop endometriosis and where the endometrial cells implant.
The common symptoms and signs are pain (usually pelvic) andinfertility. Pelvic pain usually occurs during or just before menstruation and lessens after menstruation. Some women experience pain or cramping with intercourse, bowel movements and/or urination. Even a pelvic examination by a doctor can be painful.
The intensity of pain may change from month to month and vary greatly among women. Some women experience progressive worsening of symptoms while others can have resolution without treatment.
Endometriosis can cause infertility. When laparoscopy is done for infertility studies, endometrial implants can be found in some patients, many of whom may not have painful symptoms ofendometriosis. It believed that endometriosis bleeding, inflammation,and scarring can cause distortion of the female reproductive organs (such as obstruction of the fallopian tubes), resulting in infertility. However, the severity of the disease is not necessarily directly related to the degree of infertility.
