Answer 2

Questions such as yours should be directed to your physician, who should know your health better than anyone else. Since your girlfriend had an ultrasound done, she must have seen her doctor or visited the Emergency Room (ER). Did the doctor say anything? Do you have a follow-up appointment. Were there any lab tests performed. I am a doctor and I can't stress enough that your girlfriend should see your physician again or your local ER. Stomaches is a very common complaint, which can be something very benign (e.g. stomach flu) or something very serious (e.g. ectopic pregnancy). No one can tell simply by talking over the Internet. Don't be shy, if you have questions ask the doctor(s) after all it is your health (or in your case your girlfriend's health).

Answer 3

Go to the doctor immediately; this sounds like appendicitis. I had it when I was about 12 and they said if I hadn't got there within the 3 hours that I did, I probably would've died.

Answer 4

As a nurse, I can guess it could be a gastric hernia, or ulcer, Have your girlfriend see a gastroenteritis to check the problem our before it gets worse. Hope se feels better soon.

Appendix is on the right side and no sonogram shows it up.
