Q After a mesenteritis diagnosis, what symptoms should send me to the hospital immediately?
A If you have rapid weight loss, repeated night fevers, or a rapidly growing abdominal mass, you must go to the hospital immediately. These are warning signs urgently requiring differentiation from other diseases such as malignant lymphoma.
Detailed Answer
If the following symptoms appear, seek internal medicine or surgical care without delay: ① losing over 5% of body weight without reason for more than 2 weeks, ② fever of 38°C or higher recurring every night, ③ a mass felt in the abdomen growing noticeably, ④ sudden worsening of severe abdominal pain or bowel obstruction symptoms (vomiting, constipation, abdominal distension). These may be emergencies such as malignant lymphoma, mesenteric abscess, or bowel obstruction.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
If the above warning signs are present, you should receive Western emergency evaluation before visiting the Korean medicine clinic. Continuing Korean medicine treatment after safety is confirmed is the correct order.
