Answered on 22nd Aug '24
It’s normal to get a tummy ache and not feel like eating when you’re on antimalarial medication. These medicines may sometimes bother your stomach. Remember to continue taking them, but try to ease the discomfort by consuming small and soft meals. Drinking fluids such as water or tea frequently could also be helpful. Should the symptoms persist, consult your doctor for further assistance.

when I laydown to sleep i get an excruciating pain in my stomach and it feels like im paralyzed and cant breath and going to pass out
Male | 34
A stomach ulcer seems likely. Ulcers are painful stomach sores. Spicy foods and stress worsen them. Eat bland foods. Relax via deep breaths, gentle exercises. Seek medical help if pain persists. Ulcers require proper treatment. Avoiding care risks complications. Small changes promote healing. Visit a gastroenterologist, so they can review your diet, and prescribe medication. Ulcers can heal with proper management.

Im wondering if Ulcerative Colitis can affect a man's sexual ability causing ED. Either that or is it possible for UC to cause low testosterone? Is this possible without me taking any medications?
Male | 28
A situation that inflames the colon, ulcerative colitis, can result in symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue. Even though inflammation and stress brought on by UC do not cause directly erectile dysfunction (ED) or low testosterone; they can have an impact on sexual health. The best way forward is to treat UC effectively while also finding ways of reducing stress.

I’m 17, and I have really bad sharp belly pains I’ve had them for 2 days, I can’t stop crying, they really really hurt and I don’t know what to do, they make me really want to fart but I can’t and feel sick
Female | 17
You're going through a tough time with those stomach pains, which you think might be constipation. Constipation can cause belly aches, nausea, and the urge to pass gas without relief. It's important to drink plenty of water, eat fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, and do some exercise to help your body function better. If the pain continues or worsens, don't hesitate to consult a gastroenterologist for advice.

Hi doc, I'm 20 yrs old female, I'm 38kg with 153 cm height, I have gastritis, Gerd, oesophagitis, delayed menstrual cycle, I am very thin
Female | 20
Gastritis, GERD, oesophagitis, delayed periods, and the feeling of being thin can be hard on a person. Signals such as stomach ache, acid reflux, and skipped menstrual cycles could be due to stress or bad nourishment. Take regular meals, keep away from spicy foods, and manage stress! It's also good to chat with a gastroenterologist about your health condition a few times.

I take opioids for recreational use and also for anxiety. They have been a life saver for me. But now all of a sudden I am experiencing extreme constipation. It is worth nothing I've had chronic constipation issues my whole life pretty much. I took 2 glasses of MiraLax and 3 Dulcolax stimulant laxatives.
Male | 23
Opioids are known to cause constipation by slowing down intestinal movement. Chronic constipation can lead to further complications if not addressed. Taking MiraLax and Dulcolax was a good start, but it's also important to drink plenty of water and eat high-fiber foods to help improve the condition. Additionally, including light exercise, like walking or yoga, in your routine can be beneficial. If the constipation persists, it would be a good idea to consult a gastroenterologist for further advice and support.

I am 19 and I had surgery 8 days ago and had to go on oxy. i’ve stopped taking it about 4 days ago. For the past 8 days i haven’t been able to poop. I have to go very bad but every time i do it’s too painful to pass and i have to suck it back up. i took 4 stool softeners yesterday and 1 the day before. I have to go really bad but i’m not sure what to do and i’m scared to because it hurts so bad
Female | 19
You’ve been struggling with constipation since your surgery and taking painkillers. Pain medication can slow things down in your body which causes constipation. I’m glad you took stool softeners but also try drinking more water, eating lots of fibre such as fruit and vegetables, or doing a little bit more exercise. If it doesn’t help, visit a gastroenterologist.

I am 20 years old Having pain when passing stool Watery mucusy stool with mouth ulcers
Male | 20
You may be experiencing a form of ulcerative colitis, which can cause pain during bowel movements and lead to watery, mucus-filled stools. Mouth ulcers can also be a symptom, as this condition is related to an overactive immune system. To manage it, following a well-balanced diet and your gastroenterologist's advice can provide relief. And don’t forget to stay hydrated by drinking enough water!

i am a 23 years old male and for about 3 days now i have been feeling some kind of heaviness on the left side of my tummy,even though the heavy feeling doesn’t hurt and comes and goes it feels really uncomfortable. what should i do?
Male | 23
If you're feeling heaviness on the left side of your tummy, it could be due to gas, constipation, or even stress. Eating too fast can also cause this discomfort. Try eating slowly, drinking water, and moving around. If the discomfort persists or worsens, it's best to consult a gastroenterologist for further advice.

I have piles and I was using anovate cream but now it's getting painful and even I can see blood while popping wat can I apply alternate
Female | 28
Piles, which are also known as hemorrhoids, are one of the common issues that happens due to straining with stools and sitting for long periods. If your symptoms don't improve when you are using Anovate, get yourself over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams which are indicated to contain hydrocortisone as one of the ingredients to help you with pain sensation and inflammation. Also, add more fiber to your diet to improve your stools by consuming less weight. Don't forget to drink lots of water and don't push too hard when you try to relieve constipation. If the signs and symptoms continue or get even worse, it is better to see a gastroenterologist.

Can I smoke weed 3 weeks after gallbladder removal?
Female | 26
After gallbladder surgery, it's important to focus on taking care of yourself. While it might be tempting, it's best to avoid using cannabis during your recovery. The compounds in marijuana could slow down your healing and make you feel worse. Instead, stay hydrated, eat a healthy diet, and follow your doctor's advice to recover well.

Bleeding piles, called hemorrhoids, have treatment options in early stages. Bright red blood shows up in stool or toilet water. Itching and discomfort around the anus happens. Bowel movements cause pain. Drink lots of water to avoid constipation. Eat fiber-rich fruits and veggies. Try over-the-counter ointments for relief. But if symptoms continue, see a gastroenterologist.

I am 18 years old lately I have been having some burnt in my stomach and making me feel I want to vomit and I had sex for the first time which I don't know if that's why I am feeling pains and I feel very tired and uncomfortable pls I want to know what's wrong with me and so many pimples on my face pls help me let me know and I have been visiting toilet frequently
Female | 18
It appears that you are possibly facing some tummy trouble perhaps somewhat associated with your very first sexual encounter but not as a direct result of it. The aching, vomiting, tiredness, and frequent bathroom visits might be due to a tummy bug or infection. The zit on your skin could likely be caused by hormonal variations. You must take a lot of water, get enough rest, and eat plain easy-to-digest items like bread or rice. If the situation does not change please visit a gastroenterologist.

My throat has been hurting really bad and my stomach is experiencing sharp pains. I don't think I have a fever.
Female | 19
A sore throat and stomach pains have varied reasons. It might signal a viral infection, perhaps a cold or flu. Acid reflux sometimes brings those troubles too. Sip warm water flavored with honey and lemon to ease discomfort. Rest well and avoid spicy cuisine temporarily. However, if symptoms linger, see a gastroenterologist could prove wise.

25 year old female last night I started experiencing sharp pain on the lower right side of my stomach near pelvic area that radiates down to my hip and leg and now I'm also feeling nausea
Female | 25
You might be dealing with appendicitis. This is the case when a small part of your belly, known as the appendix, gets enlarged and causes severe pain. The pain might be displaced to your hip and leg. Nausea is a typical symptom as well. You must visit a gastroenterologist. The surgical method is warranted in a majority of cases to get rid of the inflamed appendix and help you be in a good state of health again.

Female | 21
The lower abdomen pain you are going through is pretty uncomfortable. Your symptoms are concerning and it's essential to address them. The pain, diarrhea, and the urge to pass stool after your period can be caused by different reasons like pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. It's advisable to get medical help from a gastroenterologist for a correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

I have anal fissures, using anasol it doesn't bleed anymore but can u prescribe any oral medication
Female | 35
It is a positive step that the bleeding has stopped with Anasol, but let us find an oral medication for your anal fissures. These are the reasons which cause it when the skin around your bottom tears. It can lead to pain and bleeding when you poo. To help them heal, you can take stool softeners like psyllium husk or docusate sodium. These can cause going to the bathroom to be quicker and less painful. Besides, you should drink a lot of water too.
