Q: Intestinal infection

asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 19th, 2007

I've been experiencing pain in the sides of my stomach for about 4 months now. The pain varies from a dull pain to a sharp or throbbing pain.
About 3 months ago i had an infection in my testicals, but without medication that diappeared. But now i have this problem with my stomach or colon.
My doctor said that it was an inffection and that it would go away, but instead it just gets worse.
i've not lost weight and have no problems my stools.
I can't say when the pain is worse, asit varies from day to day. But some times the pains lessens when i lay down.
The pain sometimes feels like i have a stich.

A testicle infection is probably not related to an eventual intestinal infection. the dominant and most common sign of any intestinal infection is diarrhea. Abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, fever, etc. are additional signs of intestinal infection. It is hard to say what is causing your abdominal pain. Maybe an ultrasound scan and CT-scan can provide more information about your condition. You can follow up by visiting your primary health physician.
