I am posting this while feeling very worried about my 14 year old son.
He started with some discomfort in abdomen whilst playing football a few weeks back.
Then 2 weeks ago told me that he felt a swelling in his lower left abdomen.
A few days later while being referred by gp for ultrasound he played football and came off with very bad abdominal and left testicle pain.
The urology surgeons arranged an ultrasound which showed no torsion but a varicocele which they said they wouldn't expect and some fluid in pelvic area which would be unusual in a teen male.
He since then began having lots of digestive issues belching continuously after food, regurgitate ing food then also vomitting.
Urology gave him antibiotics and general surgeon examined him and said that he could feel something in left abdomen. That was yesterday.
He was booked onto children's ward to have a ct scan this morning but have now been told that radiology want to do mri instead which will ve in day or so.
Has anyone any experience of these symptoms as I am now really worried especially as the surgeon said that he was confident it was not a hernia. I am now worried it could be something much worse especially as he is complaining of feeling exhausted and generally unwell when he is usually a very active boy.
