I have suffered increasing abdominal pain for 5 days plus. The pain gets worse when I try to get up lying down with a tendency to increase especially on my riht side. The area is not sensitive to touch and all pain disappears momentarily whenthe area is pushed in hard and released quickly. Any suggestion?
Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor. I can understand the concern that you have towards your health. I am here to help you further and with the next steps. Based on the location of the pain, I think that you have a pain related to the appendix. This is the most likely cause. Also, you can give of pushing in sort of indicates a sign in appendicitis. In appendicitis, there will be inflammation of the appendix and this is very painful and usually very debilitating. The pain is felt at a point known as the McBirney point. The first few steps you need to take are to see a Doctor and get an Ultrasound and a blood examination done. The USG will be done to check for inflammation of the appendix and the blood exam will look for raised White Blood Cells. Both these and a clinical exam will confirm the appendicitis. Once confirmed, the appendix will be removed in a simple procedure which is done often. All the best, and please follow up with more queries if any.  Chat Doctor.
