ABDOMEN PAINS
. SHOULD BE GIVEN
QUICK ATTENTION
DON’T DEPEND ON SELF
OR DRUGGIST BUT
SEE DOCTOR
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
People who get sick with a pain
localized in the abdomen usually feel
perfectly competent to treat the con
dition themselves, until it isn’t “just
an acute bellyache,” but something
1 serious. That’s why the mortality of
acute appendicitis, as recently report
ed in a general Hospital over a period
of 10 years, was over 10 per cent.
Os course, all sudden stomachaches
do not mean something serious, but
enough of them do that they should
all be treated with respect. They
may herald such serious things as ap
pendicitis, intestinal obstruction,
strangulated hernia, acute gall blad
der, stones, ectopic pregnany, or com
plications of duodenal ulcer.
The steps, increasing in serious
ness, which progressively indicate
that the condition requires expert
help—the thermometer of the acute
abdomen—may be put down this
way: (1) Generalized mild discom
fort. (2) Generalized real pain. (3)
Rbal pain that is localized in a cer
tain spot. (4) Pain, whether mild or
real, accompanied by nausea and
vomiting. (5) Pain, nausea, vomiting
and fever.
Don’t Depned on Self
When you get to the combination
of No. 3, it is best not to depend upon
yourself or your friend or the drug
gist, but get a doctor. Unfortunate
ly, the great majority of these cases
fall first into the hands of the ama
teur home medical adviser, and the
first treatment is carried out bv that
person. More unfortunately still,
the one treatment that the nome
medical adviser known for acute bel
lyache is a cathartic, and that is the
one wrong thing to do.
It will be noticed in the set of
symptoms that I put down that I
said~v.othing about the condition of
the bowels. In almost all of these
conditions the bowels are constipat
ed reflexly, but acute constipation is
not the cause of the trouble. When
acute bellyache is present with diar
rhoae, the patient usually is not in
danger, and comparatively can be
safsly left to the hands of the home
medical adviser.
A cathartic always does harm in
