I am 41 y.o., single, never been married.
I had a whole abdomen utz last week coz
of presistent heartburn since jan. 2006.
Been taking meds for several months but to
no avail(proton pump inhibitor,
anti-ulcer). Taken med to inhibit acid
production & had an antibiotic for 1
week when diagnosed of gastritis &
esophagitis last feb 2006, aftern an
endoscopy. But the symptoms came back
after the regimen.
anyways, Impression of the ultrasound last
week are the ffg:
1. acute cholecytitis w/ multiple, fine,
non-shadowing echogenic foci in the inner
wall
2. Thickened endometrium 1.49 cm
3. Minimal fluid in the posterior cul de
sac. Minimal fluid in the hepatorenal
space
My questions are:
1.what are non-shadowing echogenic foci
and can this be the cause of my stomach
discomfort? How can this be
treated(symptoms) or foci be removed?
2. what are the implications of a
thickened endometrium? and is it normal to
thicken if 1 week or 2 weeks prior to
menstruation?
3. What are the Implications of presence
of minimal fluid in the cul de sac? and
how can this be treated? or the necessary
intervention?
4. Could it be that my long term use of
certain meds for hyperacidity could have
paused danger to my kidneys? or maybe why
my gallbladder has inflamed?
Please enlighten me. I am so so worried
I'm afraid i might
have serious health prob because of my
stomach discomforts since Jan 2007. Coz
now aside from regular heartburn, i
experience mild, mild only epigastric
pain, also in upper right abd &
sometimes now in the right upper abd.
