Q: What is the outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction treatment after gallbladder removal?

The outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can vary depending on the obstruction's cause, severity, and duration.

ERCP: In more severe cases, a procedure known as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be needed to remove the obstruction. Surgery: In specific cases, including cancerous growth, surgery may involve removal of the blocked section of the duct or, in severe cases, rerouting of the bile ducts through a procedure called a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Stomach is not doing well and stool is not passing

Male | 33

You're having trouble passing stool, likely due to reasons like lack of fiber, insufficient water intake, or stress. To ease it, eat more vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water. However, if this persists, consult a doctor for proper medical assessment and guidance. While irregular bowel movements happen, prolonged issues shouldn't be ignored as they could signify underlying concerns that require professional evaluation from a gastroenterologist and treatment tailored to your specific condition.

Male | 18

It seems that you might have indigestion. When you eat, your stomach releases an excessive amount of gas which may cause you to feel bloated or nauseous at times. The hot water could have caused your body to expel this gas. Try eating smaller portions of food and staying away from those known for producing gas. You can also drink ginger tea or peppermint tea to help calm down your tummy. In case this problem persists, it would be best if you see a gastroenterologist.

Male | 18

When you lie down, your nose feels blocked. When you stand up, it slowly clears. This happens due to GERD, a condition where stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus. The acid can reach your nose and cause congestion. To help, prop up your head while sleeping. Avoid eating close to bedtime. If the problem continues, consult a gastroenterologist for advice.

Male | 55

Holding a gallstone and not feeling pain in the right lower abdomen for some time is a bit tricky. Gallstones can obstruct the bile duct and cause you to be seriously ill. Symptoms like yellowing of the skin, intolerable pain, or having a fever should be rushed to the doctor. Surgery to remove the gallbladder may be required to allow you to remain healthy. It is highly recommended to consult a gastroenterologist to have more information regarding this.

Your pains and black stools sound concerning. Upper abdomen and back discomfort can signal gastritis or kidney issues. Black stools indicate internal bleeding, maybe stomach or intestines. You should see a gastroenterologist immediately, as this requires medical attention. For now, rest up, and don't strain yourself with heavy lifting.

If you have eaten Cheetos from a bag open for 2 days, you might get a sore stomach, feel sick, or have diarrhea. The reason for this is that when food is left out it gets covered in bacteria. The best way to help yourself is by drinking plenty of fluids such as water or squash eating plain things like toast and rice then resting If your condition deteriorates, visit a gastroenterologist.
