Hello doctor,
I just started having abdominal pain from 2 days ago, when I started to feel a dull pain in the abdomen. In the afternoon, after I took digestive enzymes, I began to have severe pain, especially around the navel. After that, he vomited once, the pain moved down to the area below the navel, gradually but not completely, every time he moved or had a strong abdominal contraction, the pain was mild, when he ate, he didn't feel much pain, he defecated. liquid stools. I went for an X-ray and an ultrasound of the abdomen, but the doctor said it was not clear what the disease was. Doctor let me ask, dull abdominal pain accompanied by loose stools is a sign of what disease? What medicine should I take to relieve the pain?

Hello,
To the question "What is the sign of a dull abdominal pain accompanied by loose stools?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Based on the description, your symptoms may be related to the group of gastroenteritis and colonic diseases caused by contaminated food. In severe cases, symptoms are rampant, blood tests can detect indicators of inflammation or infection, ultrasound can show thickening of the intestinal loops, a lot of fluid in the intestinal lumen or inflammatory fluid in the abdomen.. In mild cases, an abdominal ultrasound may not detect any abnormalities.
The vast majority of cases go away on their own, if you self-treat at home, you should only drink plenty of water and digestive enzymes. Severe abdominal pain after taking digestive enzymes can also be a symptom of the same disease as when you take digestive enzymes, digestive enzymes usually do not cause you severe abdominal pain.
In case of increasing abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea or fever, you must go to the hospital for examination. Your doctor may order blood tests, repeat ultrasounds, or endoscopy to diagnose your condition and give you specific treatment. In addition, you should not buy pain relievers to take by yourself.
If you still have questions about dull abdominal pain, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
