The lower left quadrant of my abdomen hurts for 12 days with mild bloating. The pain was intense before, very intense when it comes, I would say a 7 to 8 out of 10. I also had abdominal cramps, rectal tenesmus, and have been taking laxatives but not anymore today. I still feel occasional discomfort and pain in my abdomen. The pain was intense for 9 days before dampening now into a more mild form. I made a visit to the doctor in day 9 (it is day 12 today) and the doctor said it should be cleared up in 3 days. The doctor said it may be a fecaloma. After not taking laxatives, the diarrhoea is less watery but I still feel bloated and painful in my abdomen although much milder. I suspect an underlying problem.

I am 66 years old having lower abdomen pain for one month.I have taken norfloxacin 400 mg and pain killer for seven days but not cure.What to do?

Male | 66

This type of pain may be felt in this body area due to reasons like the digestive system, bladder, or muscles that are causing the pain. As the medication you had failed, the better thing to do is to visit a gastroenterologist. They may ask you to have other tests like an ultrasound scan to find out the definite cause of your pain.

Male | 21

There are a number of conditions which loose stool may be a symptom, such as infections; food intolerance and inflammatory bowel disease. Difficulty in defecation and excessive straining to evacuate the bowels may indicate constipation. A visit to a gastroenterologist is therefore vital for acurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

I have had blood and mucus in my stools for over a month now. Sometimes more blood is present than others. Most of the times the blood is mixed in with the stool other times it's mixed in and there are mucus blood clots floating in the water. Is this something I should be immediately concerned with.

Male | 56

It may be due to various reasons, including less serious conditions like hemorrhoids or infections, it could also be a sign of more serious issues such as inflammatory bowel disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Consult a gastroenterologist preferably from a good hospital for a thorough evaluation, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.

How to cure Diarrhea ? I am having loose motions about 4 times a day.

Male | 30

Your body is trying to get rid of something bothering it, like a virus, bacteria, or food that didn't agree with you. To help, drink lots of liquids so you don't get dehydrated. Stick to bland stuff like toast or rice. If it doesn't improve after a couple of days, check with a gastroenterologist.

Female | 34

You may have symptoms of gastritis, which is the inflammation of the stomach lining. Stress, some drugs, and H. pylori infection are common causes of this. For relief, eat smaller portions but more frequently., avoid foods that are spicy or high in acid, and try to manage your stress. There’s also ginger tea that can help with nausea. When these signs won’t go away, seek a gastroenterologist's help.

I have recently noticed that my bowel movements have shown a flat side. No bleeding. I have had these hemorrhoids for at least 6 months. Some days they're almost nonexistent. Some days they pop out of the anus and feel annoying, but they hardly ever hurt in any way. It is hard to tell, but there are some days where the stool looks completely normal. No flat side that I can see. I had a colonoscopy (at 39 yrs old) 2+ years ago. A polyp was removed and 3 hemorrhoids were banded. I am very healthy. I am 2 years sober, high protein diet, strength training, active job, don't smoke, and do everything with health in mind. I take sertraline for anxiety and a few supplements. I am scheduled to see my Dr in a month. My anxiety always makes me think it's the worst! Google searches tell me that hemorrhoids won't likely change the stool shape. I am in need of answers please!

Male | 41

This can result from dietary changes or minor intestinal troubles. Hemorrhoids rarely cause flat stools. As a recent colonoscopy was done, serious worries are unlikely. Maintaining healthy habits is wise. It's advisable to inform a doctor about this during the upcoming appointment for accurate guidance.

I was diagnosed gallbladder polyps and can it causes bad breathing

Male | 40

Gallbladder polyps are growths inside the gallbladder which can be described as tiny bumps. These types of polyps generally aren't related to any form of bad breath. Bad breath usually comes from poor dental hygiene or problems with the lungs. Sometimes they may cause pain in your abdomen or make it hard for you to digest food. If they do and are still there when this happens again then taking out your gall bladder might stop anything else like that from happening in the future.

I was diagnosed with intestine obsertruction on 04 May 24, Subsequently, I was treated with antibiotics and painkillers. Urine catheter was inserted on 05/05/24 and removed on 10/05/24. However, I am having irritation (burning) while urination and bleeding on first urination in the morning. I am in constant pain.

Male | 28

You might have a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs may occur after using a urinary catheter and can make you feel like peeing is painful or that it causes bleeding. This discomfort would not kill you; however, take enough water then consult with a urologist. More antibiotics might be recommended to deal with the problem and ease the symptoms.

Male | 25

It appears that you may be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome or IBS. This means that you can shift between hard or soft stools without feeling bloated. The main reason behind IBS is unknown but stress and specific foods might set it off. To control your signs, try having balanced meals, doing exercises oftentimes a week as well as managing any stress that comes up in life. It would also help if you sought help by talking with a gastroenterologist about what more they would advise.

I have a question. My boyfriend took 15 multivitamin pills, he is 33 years old, 159cm, around 60-65 kgs. I think he took around 120 mg of iron which those pills had. It happened earlier today, He was nauses, had diarrhea that looked black and oily and sticky, his stomach hurt he went to the toilet like 5 times. He went to sleep assuring me he will be fine but im worried, could it be internal bleeding? He doesnt normally use vitamins, not sure but i dont think he has iron deficiency. it happened today. He takes adderrall, he didnt eat today, and he had about half a bottle of red wine. First he took 8 pills, then 4, then 3 all in the span of a few hours, i think his last was like 12 hours ago?

Male | 33

It appears that your boyfriend may have an upset stomach after consuming a large number of multivitamin tablets that contain iron. Black, icky, tar-like poop and abdominal tenderness are indicative of possibly internal bleeding. The situation could have been aggravated considering he ingested Adderall, skipped meals, and drank alcohol. He must seek immediate medical attention.
