I had a partial colectomy due to diverticulitis almost 2 years ago- still having lower left abdominal pain . Some days really bad. Also going from 10 BMs a day to constipation. Drs can t find any reason for pain. Had colonoscopy that showed focal ulceration and granulation tissue but again dr said not the cause. At wits end . I previously had hysterectomy and appendectomy, so what else could it be?
Hi. Thanks for your query. This is an atypical presentation that is why diagnosis is going to be a bit difficult, meaning one can not really pinpoint the cause. As per your history there is a focal ulceration and granulation tissues. This is indicative of an active process, and you may have to undergo re-surgery if not amenable to the medical management. Prior to CT scan of abdomen can help rule out other probable causes.
