- What should I do when I have a pain in the belly at midnight?
First of all, keep calm, don’t go fumbling about for some pill to fill the belly, take a rest, if the pain is not serious you may go to outpatient department for a checkup in the morning. On the contrary if the pain is very keen and there is no letup after the rest, the fit recurs repeatedly or is getting worse and worse, then you’ll have to consider seeing a doctor. Most importantly is that don’t fear to go and see a doctor, once you felt in doubt just go and see a doctor, lest what is a small trouble in the beginning might turn out a big trouble at last. Remember not to eat anything or ingest any drug when you are prepared to see a doctor.
- But if the pain is very sharp, will it be all right to take an analgesic or stomach drug beforehand?
Many who happened to have a pain on the belly used to take a stomach pill or analgesic in the first place, but if the cause for the pain has not been identified, one should refrain from taking any drug. There are some diseases such as, for instance, myocardial infraction, which may evince symptoms including abdominal pain, taking a drug without ascertaining the cause of the pain under such circumstances may postpone the treatment on the one hand, make doctor’s diagnosis more difficult, on the other hand. In circumstances necessitating an operation, the precondition to fast for 6 hours for anaesthesia reasons would result in delay of the operation which your case warrants.
- How is it that one may have pain with his belly?
A lot of causes can explain a belly pain, it may be that something is wrong with the gastro-enteric system, or else with the liver/spleen system, whereas the renal and urinary system may also give rise to pain in the abdominal area. With female that could be due to gynecologic diseases, or even to anomalous gestation, with senile citizens that could be due to heart disease or else. So, the best option is still to refer yourself to a doctor for a checkup so that no delay is incurred to the treatment of a belly pain. As a matter there have been quite a few cases of belly pain which were associated with psychologic implications, as to which there was no allowing for tracing out any physical reasons, but they would let up sooner or later. Statistically it has been found that the most common cause of a belly pain is due to intemperate eating, constipation showing up next. So it is always a good idea to pay adequate attention to your daily diets in general.
- In the event of a sever belly pain, where to go for an emergent service? Is there any preparation required?
Ideally you should go to your usual clinic or hospital in that event, because there they have all the detailed antecedent informations about you, in case they met difficult diagnosing your belly pain, they will advise you to transfer to another medical institute. If you are about to move to another hospital which you didn’t visit habitually, you’d better bring with you any drug which you are taking on prolonged terms, that would help the doctor in charge there better formulate his judgement. While en route to that hospital for treatment, think it over beforehand: did you vomit? Did you have a fever? Is there any change taking place as regards your bowel movement habits? How about the color of your last excrements? How does your belly pain attack? Have you ever had any operation on the belly? Has your belly suffered any injury lately? Female patients must be able to tell of her latest menses conditions, for a doctor will inquire you all of the above conditions on your visit.
- Last time I went to call at your emergency service, the doctor in charge filed an inspection slip for me to have my blood sample tested when through with the diagnosis, without prescribing any drug. I asked him why, he responded that he would have to wait for the outcome of my blood test, then I was left with my pain for quite a while, how is that?
In fact, way from the moment he was through with you clinic call through he finally decides what prescription to give, the doctor is not just waiting for the outcome of the test, he had to observe how your case was developing all the while, and that opposed to the outcome of your blood test would help him to resolve on what to do with your case. As having been mentioned in the foregoing, there are more than one disease that clarifying the etiologic cause, and later on the pain does pass away, one would not be able to tell if the pain went away by and by all by itself or was it due to the intervention of the analgesic dosage. By observing the change that is taking place with your belly pain, the physician would be better informed to come to more salubrious judgement, once a judgement is reached, he will prescribe the necessary drugs for treatment, including, for example, analgesics.
- Last time, on account of belly pain I went over to your emergency service and was left on the bed for observation for a couple of days, without being told what illness I had, I was bidden home. Why is all that?
As having been mentioned in the foregoing, a lot of factors can come into play with a belly pain. A portion of the reasons of a belly pain are still under the veil, but will fade away all by themselves, the medical profession will then have to observe subsequent developments, but the emergency service is of limited space, so long as your case is not severe enough to threat survival, it is all right to release you for home. After all, remaining in an emergency space can’t be more comfortable than staying at home.
