Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I've been experiencing left-sided stomach pain for the past three days, and I'm quite worried. Could this pain be related to an ulcer or appendicitis, or are there other potential causes I should consider?

 

Hello

 

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

The management of left-sided stomach pain depends on several factors, including your age and any other associated symptoms you may be experiencing. While appendicitis typically causes pain on the right side of the abdomen, it's important to note that left-sided pain can be related to other conditions, such as an ulcer or gastrointestinal issues.

 

To determine the best course of action, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional who can evaluate your symptoms and provide an accurate diagnosis. This will help ensure you receive the appropriate treatment for your situation.

 

Thanks
