She has been to the gastroenterologist several times and no severe findings. the family doctos has been just giving her medication for an apparent UTI. Should we be concerned?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for writing in. With a history of appendectomy done 8 months back your mother is suffering from severe pain in left lower abdomen with an associated lump. Truly speaking appendix is an organ found in right lower abdomen. You have not mentioned regarding type of surgery she had, laparoscopic or conventional. Whatever be the matter, if she is having pain in left lower abdomen now and no severe findings after consulting gastroenterologist, I would suggest her to see a gynecologist and get a routine clinical examination. An ultrasound scan of abdomen may be helpful.
