Hi am 25 years old. I been having lower right abdominal pain four the last four months I have taken 6 ct scans that show fluid around my colon and on my right lower abdominal. They did a drainage but couldn t get the fluid. They never tell me what it is and why it s there. Different types of cancers run in my family and am just worried,.
Hi, read and understood the history of pain in the right lower abdominal pain for which you have undergone 6 CT scans.IT shows fluid around the colon. This finding is very classical of retrocecal appendicitis. I would do a diagnostic laparoscopy in such a situation and am sure to get a disease which may not be seen in any of the investigations like Appendicitis, colitis, diverticulitis and so on. Some of these are curable by surgery and I would do it to give you the cure. Please stop doing further CT as you have already taken a high dose of radiation and with the history of cancers in the family, this wrong thing has already been done. Will also get the routine investigations of the blood, urine and stool for ruling out any other problems and for fitness for surgery.
