Hi,
My wife is having mild pain after eating meals and goes off after an hour. It is accompanied by backache, headache sometimes and slight body temperatures all the time. we have consulted a doctor, according to him it is gas related problem and has given certain medicines to encounter the pain.
Earlier my wife was being consulted by a gynecologist and a HCG 5000 injection has been given to her during her ovulation period to conceive faster but an hour after giving that injection, a sharp pain in her stomach raised and lead her to got admitted in the hospital for a day, The gynecologist done an ultrasound test and said it is just an stomach infection, and antibiotics and painkillers were given to her.
we changed the doctor because the pain was still there after eating and last for 1-2 hours, as per the new doctor it is gastritis problem and has given medicines for that.
Its been a week’s time now, she is still facing mild pain in stomach after eating which goes out after an hour. From last 2 days, she is having loose motions in the morning and gets well in the rest of the day. A slight body temperature through the day with backache remains the whole day with a headache sometimes.
So never ignore any stomach pain, especially if it doesn’t respond to lifestyle measures
Thanks!
