Hello, I went to the doctor after some abdominal pain I had. The first day it was for 12 hrs aprox. And the second time was for a few hours only. After that, I havent had anymore pain. However, when doctor did my examination I could feel some pain in the abdomen, near to the umbilical cord. Now, the  doctor said I need a CAT scan and/or a colonoscopy to determine if the pain is related to the colon. It is ok to perform mentioned exams even that I havent feel pain anymore! What is your recommendation?
Hi thanks for using ChatDoctorSince your pain has reduced and only 2 episodes you had pain with no other significant history, I prefer no other investigations. But on examination IGF your doctor has found any important findings then you may require investigations. But I don't prefer CT scan and colonoscopy as initial investigation. Better you can get simple test like ultrasound abdomen first than going for CT or Colonoscopy, which are expensive. Discuss with your doctor indication for colonoscopy and CT. If you require then you can proceed. Hope this answered your query. Wish you a good health. Regards
