QuestionHello doctor,
I am 26 years old this year. Half a year ago, I had pain in my left abdomen, but it didn't affect my daily activities. I went to the doctor and it was determined that it was gastritis in the stomach. However, taking the medicine forever still does not go away. After that, the whole person was suddenly tired, couldn't sleep, had a hot stomach, and felt no pain to touch. I went back to endoscopy of the stomach and colon, the result was antral inflammation. Even though I took medicine, it still didn't go away. I urinate normally. Now symptoms have been half a year. Every time I get stressed, it hurts my stomach more. I went to the doctor more and did tests, even stayed in the hospital, but the results were still the same. I feel that in the evening, my body is less stressed, and my stomach hurts to a tolerable level. Currently, the doctor said that I have a nervous disorder but taking medicine is not effective. Please ask the doctor what is the cause of prolonged left abdominal pain? Thank you

Hello,
With the question "What is the cause of prolonged left abdominal pain?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
In case of prolonged abdominal pain of unknown cause like this, it is necessary to remove it first. except for cancerous or chronic inflammatory diseases of the abdominal organs by laboratory tests and imaging. In the event that no physical cause can be found, it is necessary to gather the available data, examine more closely and look for additional neuropsychiatric or functional causes.
If you still have questions about the prolonged left 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.
Best regards!
