Patient's question:
Lower left abdominal pain. Previously, a thorough examination was said to be appendicitis. Then, a follow-up examination said there was no appendicitis, but the pain still persists and has been going on for over a year, with daily pain. What should be carefully examined next?Doctor's answer:
Pain and discomfort in the lower left abdomen appear. Based on the symptoms, it is considered that the cause may be gynecological inflammation, but pelvic inflammation cannot be ruled out either. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and refrain from spicy and irritating foods. Nutritional intake should be strengthened. It is better to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. If it is inflammation, metronidazole and levofloxacin intravenous infusion for anti-inflammatory treatment can be taken. Follow-up examinations should be well-prepared.
