Question

Could the reason for the severe pain in left lower abdomen be a kidney stone?Would it show in CT scan as i had it done and nothing came out in c.T sca

Answer 1

Anxiety : I would suggest that you are unduly worried and that if anything else was required your physician will take care of it. Good Luck

Answer 2

No: Fatty liver at your age should not be causing pain in that area.

Answer 3

Probably not: Fatty liver from obesity is a common condition. Most people don't experience any symptoms from it. Stretching of the liver could give some discomfort in the upper right side of the abdomen, but again, most people with fatty liver don't feel their liver and if they do, cramping wouldn't be a typical description of the discomfort. Sounds like it's worth having your primary care provider take a look.

Answer 4

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine): At therapeutic doses, should be safe.

Answer 5

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) : Pristig can effect your kidney and heart.

Answer 6

Sometimes: A ct scan will show the ovaries in the pelvis. Only significant and sometimes advanced changes of ovarian cancer such as excess fluid in the pelvis may be noticeable.

Answer 7

MAYBE: Although a contrast-enhanced ct--or, better still, a pelvic ultrasound--are preferred methods for visualizing the ovaries, a non-contact ct would likely show nonspecific irregularities of the ovaries. Bottom line: pelvic ultrasound is the best choice for visualizing ovaries.

Answer 8

Not usually: A much better test to detect ovarian cancer would be a transvaginal ultrasound.

Answer 9

Not necessarily...: Seeing ovarian cancer or not from ct without contrast is less desirable and accurate. But if an ovarian cancer is big and calcified, it can be easily suspected as how it may look. But, following the specific ct protocol for a specific suspected tumor so to have better visualization and diagnosis is highly recommended. Detail? Ask radiologist.

Answer 10

AURI: Auri is respiratory tract infection and bronchitis, elevation of liver enzymes and functions involve the GI tract or system.

Answer 11

Sometimes: Like any test, a ct scan is incomplete without a history and physical exam from a patient. Most of the time the story from the patient narrows the causes of abdominal pain considerably. Often the ct is used to *confirm* a diagnosis. Abdominal pain has so many causes that a ct scan alone is typically not sufficient for any useful diagnosis.

Answer 12

Can be helpfun : Ct is good looking at structural objects in the abdomen but unless the hernia is through the wall or bulging into it they may not see it at all. Looking for the source of pain is always frustrating with a ct but it can reassure that organs like the ovaries, pancreas and kidneys and other organs are looking normal. It looks a macro structure not on a cellular basis though. It is valuable as workup.
