Hi. A few years ago I had a surgery which led to another surgery because I had a bowl obstruction, I was 16 1/2 when it happened I am now 22 and I ve been experiencing some severe stomach pains, it started tonight and has been going on for the past 3 hrs? It s in the middle of my stomach and around my belly button? I m not sure what s going on ? The pains come and go like every few minutes. Please help me. What could it be?
Welcome to Ask a doctor service. I have read your query and here is my answer. As you had previous history of surgeries, and as per your symptoms there is doubt of adhesions leading to small bowel obstruction. Please visit emergency as you need urgent X-ray abdomen in standing position. Also needed is ultrasound abdomen. Go for lab tests as TLC DLC ESR and stool examination as it may be gut infection also. I hope I have solved your query. Let MW know if I can assist you further in this query. With regards Chat Doctor.
