Hi
tbh I have never heard such rubbish in all my life. I used to work in the medical profession and any age can have a CT scan. My daughter had them aged two but with a little sedation because my DD had to lie still. I have had various CT scans since I was very young, and still having them now.
Hospitals mainly state too young because many people do not have high levels of importance or two young to have a CT scan because their bodies have young bones.
in other words saving money.
in this instance as someone who has battled the NHS, I would not give in, I would certainly ask to see a different Doctor/ Consultant, something is not right.
your sister needs to be strong, have support and state I know my own body and something isn’t right.
If it gets to it, hopefully not, complain to the highest medical professional in the GPS surgery or hospital.
But to answer your question, no your sister can have a CT scan, and they are good, will show up what is present in the stomach and lower regions. Be prepared to fight I’m afraid, but do not give in. Unfortunately this takes time, and whilst this is going on, your sisters pain will get worse or stable with pain.
Its a long shot, but have you thought about going to the local sexual health clinic? Random I know, but you can ring up and walk in, they can do a lot of different tests and can refer, the tests are more evasive maybe, but they are good for stomach/ vaginal pain..
Has your sister ever been prone to IBS or crohns or Diverticulitis? If so/ not maybe worth being tested for that. I have it myself and it’s awful pain and antibiotics relieves the pain, however mainly it’s things you eat that causes the pain.
i hope I have helped a little, so sorry YS is going thru this😩
