Ask
Hello doctor! This year I am 32 years old male. Almost a week now, I have had a bowel movement 3-4 times a day, the stools are a bit wet. Especially in the morning, I often have abdominal pain above the navel (below the ribcage), the pain lasts about 1 hour, sometimes it's light, when it's sweaty, and it's excruciating. So the doctor told me the pain in the abdomen above the navel accompanied by frequent bowel movements, what pathology does wet stools indicate? I hope the doctor can help me. I would like to thank you.

Hello.
From what you describe, you most likely have gastroenteritis or irritable bowel syndrome. However, you should go to a doctor and do a gastrointestinal endoscopy at a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals under the Vinmec Health System nationwide so that the doctor can confirm the diagnosis of abdominal pain above the navel accompanied by a lot of diarrhea. times, wet stools indicate what pathology and rule out other causes. Depending on the patient's condition and diagnosis, the doctor will provide appropriate treatment
Thank you for your question to Vinmec. We look forward to meeting you for a more detailed consultation.
