For about a month and a half now my lower right part of my belly hurts. The pain endures the whole day but it never woke me up during the night till now. I think that the last couple of days i have diarrhea, but this may be the result of my anxiety as i m about to travel abroad in 2 days and i m afraid a little bit. Apart from the pain the last 3 or 4 days i feel nausea but i havent puked so far. I noticed no blood or glair in my feces. My belly is soft to tuch and there is no clump when you touch the spot where i feel the pain. Also i noticed that as the time passes i feel more pain.
I took blood tests that have showned only a blant anaemia [Ht=36 (37-47)] and CRP was negative . In addition i took an abdominal and pelvic CT scan that have showned only partial fattening of my small intestine.
I d like to ask what that could be. A doctor told me that it could be resulted from the appendectomy i had at the same area or maybe it is caused of psychological reasons. Me, i m very concerned and i d like to know all the possibilities and whether i should go to another doctor or just let it go. I m worried about cancer but my young age and the absence of colon cancer in my family reduces the possibility.
Thank you in advance
