Question

After undergoing an appendectomy in May, I experienced irregular pain about two centimeters to the left below my navel about a month later. The pain is particularly noticeable when I wake up in the morning, and there are also episodes of pain during the day. Although I have tried various stomach medications, the symptoms have not improved. I have undergone examinations at county and regional hospitals, but no abnormalities have been found. How should experts address this issue?

Answer

This symptom may be related to intestinal spasm. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital’s internal medicine department for a detailed examination to determine the cause of the pain. Possible causes include gastritis, intestinal infection, or dyspepsia. Treatment may involve taking medications such as Yanke Ning, avoiding alcohol and spicy stimulating food, chewing food thoroughly while eating, applying appropriate heat to the abdomen, and maintaining adequate water intake and moderate exercise.
