Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Yesterday during the day, I had some stomach pain, but it wasn't serious. Starting in the evening, pain began on the right side of my navel, and it still hurts when I wake up this morning. Should I be concerned about inflammation? What medication should I take?Medical history: My menstrual cycle has been irregular recently, with less flow and a longer duration.
Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are likely caused by acute appendicitis. It generally causes symptoms such as right lower abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Some cases may also lead to fever.For your situation, I recommend first focusing on rest. It’s very important to eat light, warm, and easily digestible foods, and drink plenty of water. I suggest you go to the hospital for an ultrasound and blood test to get a clear diagnosis. It’s crucial to identify the condition promptly and not delay treatment.
