Question
Doctor, my father is 57 years old this year. For the past few months, my father has been suffering from abdominal pain, cramping pain around the abdomen, fatigue in limbs, fatigue all over the body. My father has had this pain for about 4 times in a row. It happens once a month or so and it goes away on its own in about a day. Previously, my father went to the doctor and the doctor diagnosed effusion. Now I have repeated stomach pains for months, and the pain is getting worse. This makes the family extremely worried and is looking forward to receiving advice from the doctor.
Thank physicians sir!

Hello.
Firstly, you give incomplete information. I don't know every time I have abdominal cramps, how does your father defecate, is the pain related to eating? Looks like a colon spasm.
Second, your father was previously diagnosed with pericardial effusion, is there any treatment? Did you check again after that?
Therefore, you should take your doctor to see a gastroenterologist at Vinmec Health System facilities for examination and advice.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
