Chronic Upper Left Abdominal Pain
been under investigation for upper left sided stomach and chest pain for about 2 years now. The pain usually comes during strenuous activity causing me to stop what I’m doing. I had a hiatus hernia which recently got repaired by surgery to stop the acid reflux but doctors did not think that this would stop the pain I was getting which it hasn’t! I’ve had CT scans which have supposedly been normal, an ultra sound which shown an enlarged spleen and an hematoma on the spleen. (Doctors don’t seem concerned by this) Bloods are also fairly normal as been told nothing stands out. Not sure what causes this pain as it’s interfering with every day life

You've been through a lot with this ongoing pain, especially after having surgery for a hiatus hernia. Since the CT scans and ultrasounds have shown an enlarged spleen and hematoma, it's important to follow up with a gastroenterologist or a hematologist. They can help you understand whether these findings could be related to your pain and guide you toward the right treatment.

My dad is suffering from gastric problem. He took medicines. But he didn't get relief.
Male | 45
Your dad's gastric issue is concerning. The meds don't seem effective. Stomach problems bring pain, bloating, and discomfort. Medications may fail if diet or stress cause the issue. Spicy foods, large meals, and stress worsen symptoms. Smaller portions, stress management, and avoiding trigger foods may improve his condition.

im 17 years old, i have this stomach ache in the morning yesterday even right now. I try to eat and poop but still it hurts even also when im laying on bed and sitting down. how can i avoid this pain what should i do and dont?
Female | 17
There are a lot of things that can give someone a stomach ache - like eating too much, eating spicy food, or being nervous. Try eating smaller meals more often instead of three big ones. Keep away from spicy foods entirely and make sure to drink plenty of fluids every day. Don't lie down right after you eat something either. If the pain sticks around after doing all these things, go to a gastroenterologist for a check-up.

I am aged 22 ..l have been having stomach pains and cramps with a yellow discharge..after days after l took benzathine for my tensils .what might be the cause ?and what should l take to stop the problem?
Female | 22
These could be symptoms of a bacterial infection in your stomach. Sometimes, the use of antibiotics such as benzathine can deplete the good bacteria in the stomach, which may result in those symptoms. To eliminate the problem, you should consider ingesting only plain, easily digestible foods such as rice and toast. In addition, make sure you drink enough water to keep yourself hydrated. If the symptoms don't go away, it's a good idea to visit a gastroenterologist for more tests and treatment.

This is a process that can naturally occur as your body recovers. It is important to rest, drink enough water, and apply heating pads for comfort. However, if the pain worsens or you have other symptoms like fever, bleeding, or unusual discharge, check in with a gastroenterologist.

Female | 17
Swollen blood vessels, called haemorrhoids, might cause this. Constipation or diarrhea could also cause it. Drinking water, eating fiber-rich foods, and using medicated ointments may help.
