Pain On The Left Side Of My Stomach by Ay92(m): 5:31pm On Feb 15, 2013
Please guys,what do you think is happening and which drug can you recommend? I've been having this pain on the left side of my stomach since last year and it becomes extremely painful when I use ampiclox.When I eat pepper in stew of any other food,I normally see it in my stool after defecating,the pain would be so severe that I will start rolling on the floor until I drink some water mixed with salt. So I stopped taking pepper as well

U sound like u could be suffering from ulcer.Why don't u go to a good hospital so u can get a proper diagnosis and medication.
Re: Pain On The Left Side Of My Stomach by Ay92(m): 5:36pm On Feb 15, 2013
I really don't think it's ulcer because I don't play with food,I eat normally but I found out that the pain increases when I don't eat earlier enough or when I'm fasting(which I only do once in a while).
Thanks in anticipation of your replies.

your history gives a classic case of ulcer.Go and see a doctor and get medication.
Re: Pain On The Left Side Of My Stomach by Ay92(m): 6:09pm On Feb 15, 2013
Thanks for your replies,but I thought ulcer happens to people that don't eat enough food or people that fast too often. I eat a lot as I said earlier that's why I said i dont think it's ulcer.
I'm gonna visit the health center when I pay though,just wanna have the idea of what's happening to me,thanks

Not eating enough only triggers ulcer.There are people who eat and still deal with ulcer.

why not see a doctor
Re: Pain On The Left Side Of My Stomach by TSpayne: 1:09am On Feb 25, 2013
It is likely the ulcer is not in the stomach but your duodenum. Gastric (stomach ulcers) are relieved by eating but symptoms of duodenal ulcers are worsened after a meal.
Gastric ulcer tend to be common in heavy built folk while duodenal ulcer victims are usually skinny.
Get a doctor to examine you and recommend treatment.

Sir/Ma i got motivated by your comment,eversince i was a kid i do disagree with the dictum that 'HEALTH IS WEALTH'.but now i agree that health is not a mere wealth but a precious wealth.I also experience such symptom, severe pain at the upper right,middle&left side of my tommy when i'm hungry and got worst after my meal. (ALLHAMDULLILAI) all praise be to God. Things are getting better and the pain isn't as severe as it was before.

Do you really love,care and concern about your health go see a doctor. I'm advising from experience. Go see a doctor before the condition gets out of hand.

I could remember, few years ago when i do complain about the pain to my mum {u know mothers, always with positive thought} she will scold me and say ('nigba ti ejekuje e tipoju') it's because i take much of sugary things,but deep down me i hardly take sugary things and i know is far beyound this ....to cut the story short i started my medication personnally early last year when i gain my admission. And now things are getting better.MR AYO PLEASE DON'T JOKE WITH YOUR HEALTH, PERSUADE YOUR MUM AND GO FOR MEDICATION.

of course it's not as if she's not doing something about it. She's constantly taking her medications(as prescribed) and she's getting better. I'm only confused Maybe it has something to do with mine.

With all thanks to almighty God,I've been relieved of the stomach ache. Thanks to you all for your advices and support. I visited the clinic and I used the prescribed drug and it really worked.
Re: Pain On The Left Side Of My Stomach by Nobody: 11:21pm On Mar 24, 2013
Still go do Ultra scan pls. I pray it's not kidney issue. Liver pain occurs in the right, so less likely to be liver issue. I pray it's not kidney or spleen issue too.

All these manifest early with persistent stomach discomfort.

Good you said it's gone, but still go do abdominal scan pls - and in a standard scan centre/hospital. I know what I'm talking about pls.

Re: Pain On The Left Side Of My Stomach by madamebebe(f): 8:12pm On Apr 05, 2013
For diagnostic purposes, the human abdomen is divided into four quadrants: upper right, lower right, upper left and lower left. When you're dealing with left side stomach pain, the source could be in two separate quadrants, but many diseases and disorders can focus in both left side quadrants. If you are experiencing this type of stomach pain, there are a few possible reasons. Following are some of the most common.
Bowel Obstruction

The large and small intestines wind throughout the abdomen, but left side stomach pain can sometimes be caused by a bowel obstruction on the left side of the intestines. This pain is usually accompanied by vomiting and either loose stools or no stools, and should be taken care of immediately at your local emergency room. Untreated, a bowel obstruction can cause numerous complications, including severe infections that can result in permanent damage.

Diverticulitis

Simply put, diverticulitis is a common disease among elderly patients involving a weak spot in the colon, which causes a pouch to bulge against the lining of that weak area. As the illness progresses, left side stomach pain is a common indicator, and patients may also experience nausea, bloating and constipation. This isn't a life-threatening illness, and is usually treated with a low-fiber diet, but you should visit your doctor for a diagnosis. You may require medication to maintain proper health.

Viral Hepatitis

A far more dangerous disease, left side stomach pain can also be indicative of viral hepatitis, which comes in five distinct forms and can be life-threatening. In most cases, patients will also notice a slight yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, as well as nausea and dark-tinted urine. Hepatitis usually causes a dull ache in the stomach rather than piercing pain, and it does not abate after eating or drinking (which can distinguish it from a bowel obstruction). See a doctor immediately if you suspect you have any form of hepatitis, and avoid physical contact with friends and family.

Kidney Stones

Another source of left side stomach pain can be kidney stones, and the fact that the pain originates in the left side indicates that the stone is passed from the left kidney. You might first experience a sharp pain in the back, which gradually (over a period of hours) moves into the front of the abdomen. If you think you have a kidney stone, you should head to the ER immediately in case it is too large to pass yourself. Infections and obstructions can threaten your life if this condition isn't treated.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

The left side stomach pain associated with pelvic inflammatory disease is usually dull and unabating, and occurs only in women. Some patients experience pain the middle of the abdomen as well as the left side, and is usually accompanied by a fever. This can lead to severe complications, so women who believe they might have this disease should schedule an appointment with their gynecologist immediately.

Ulcerative Colitis

Left side stomach pain can also be associated with ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease, especially when felt in the lower quadrant of the abdomen. Other symptoms will include loose stools, blood in the stools, weight loss, fatigue and muscle soreness, and it is important that you see your doctor quickly for a diagnosis.

This was all me grin it took me fife hawas lol.. Joke thanks to google/ yahoo answers.. Op I wish you goodluck, and I suspect kidney stones.. I hope and pray you have enough funds for treatment.. It is well oo

.ulcer is not caused by eat normally but not eating at the appropriate time. Not how you eat but when you eat
