My boyfriend has been complaining of abdominal pain for months now. I am a nurse but I just can t seem to place this. He has regular bowel movements. He abdomen becomes distended often. I have not noticed a common reason. Today he is now complaining of back stabbing pain going to his abdomen and decreased urination. Kidney stones maybe?
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. He should avoid eating outside if he does to prevent any intestinal infection creeping into him which might give rise to pains in abdomen. If I were his doctor, I would advise for a stool test for ova and cyst, and also a urine routine/microscopic/culture sensitivity test to rule out a urine infection as well if he is sexually active. Kidney stones could be known only after an ultrasound abdomen or an X-ray if need be. You could advise him to consume plenty of liquids and an anti-inflammatory till then. 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.
