I've been having this really sharp pain on the left side of my abdomen since yesterday, and its honestly freaking me out a bit. My CT scan today showed something about bowel thickening and pericolic fat stranding in the descending colon on the left iliac fossa. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might cause this kind of issue usually and what the general treatment might be. Can anyone shed some light on this?

My stomach has been hurting for the past three days. It's like these cramps and sharp pains that come and go every day, lasting about 5 to 10 seconds before it goes back to normal. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Could it be related to some kind of gastro issue? What can I do at home to feel better?

It sounds like you might be experiencing mild gastrointestinal discomfort, possibly due to indigestion, gas, or even a mild stomach infection. Try taking an over-the-counter antacid or anti-gas medication, drink warm water, and avoid heavy or spicy foods. If the pain persists or worsens, its best to consult a doctor to rule out other causes.

I'm trying to understand what it means to have grade I fatty liver. Should I be worried about it? I already saw a doctor and did all the tests, but he didn't prescribe any medication. Instead, he suggested I cut down on fatty foods, lose some weight, and come back in three months. Does this mean it's not that serious? Could lifestyle changes really make a difference, and should I be doing anything else in the meantime?

Grade I fatty liver does not cause symptoms and can be reversible with lifestyle changes. Your doctor's advice to reduce fat content in food, lose weight, and follow up after three months is appropriate for managing Grade I fatty liver. It is important to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, engage in regular physical activity, and achieve gradual weight loss if overweight or obese. There is no specific medication recommended for Grade I fatty liver, as lifestyle modifications are the mainstay of treatment

I've been told I have h. Pylori after an endoscopy and I'm a bit worried because I've got mild gastritis, but no ulcers thankfully. What's causing this h. Pylori, and what medications or treatments should I be looking at to deal with it?
