I have got probe tenderness in r. I. F. No definite abnormalities or mass lesion seen. As on my usg report. Please clear me on this problem and there treatment.

Question

Probe tenderness only suggests that there is pain in the area of the probe being pressed during ultrasound. That tenderness in right iliac fossa rif can be because of a simple intestinal infection or appendicitis or serious cases of infections like pus collection or even perforation. Decision is based mainly on the combination of your clinical exam, history, blood investigation and if required ct scan study. Currently you need to be seen by a general surgeon in person.
