Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 7th Feb '25
Fatty liver disease can lead to inflammation and scarring of the liver, known as fibrosis. While some damage might be irreversible, improvements in lifestyle, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management, can lead to significant improvements. Milk thistle is often used as a supplement for liver health, but its effectiveness can vary, and it's best to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment. They can offer personalized advice and monitor your condition.

Having pain in lower stomach
Female | 33
Pain in your lower stomach can be a trouble. As an example of several reasons for such pain are gas, constipation, and in the case of women, periods. Sometimes, infections in the bladder or bowels can also lead to this pain. For constipation, drinking water and eating fiber-rich food may help you, or even a warm bath for period pain. If the pain persists or worsens, inform a gynecologist so they can assist you in feeling better.

Mujhe koyela khana pasand hai or ab lat lag gyi hai mujhe chodna hai m chod nhi paa rhi hu aap koi suggestion dijiy please help kre
Female | 19
What the doctor is saying sounds like there is a problem with passing stool which can be caused if you eat coal. This in turn can cause constipation. Positively, eating more fiber can be of great help in this case. Reject the idea of eating coal and instead drink a lot of water. Eating fiber like fruits and veggies can also help. If the issue persists, go to a gastroenterologist.

Chest lower side pain from inside
Male | 30
If your pain is located at the base of your chest from inside, it may be due to different causes. A common reason is the presence of gas in your digestive system, creating an uncomfortable sensation in the stomach. Another possible condition is heartburn, which originates in the event of sports injury. Get pain relief by adopting a smart approach: Remove from your menu the following foods that are gas-inducing, chew on antacids available over the counter for heartburn, and use a heating pad to help your muscles loosen. Hydrate yourself daily and avoid activities hardening your chest muscles. If you have the same symptoms, visit a gastroenterologist for the right evaluation and treatment.

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.

There's a possibility that could be due to urinary tract infection, kidney stones, gastrointestinal issues, or reproductive system disorders. Consult a gynecologist for evaluation.

My stomach is empty and upset and I'm unable to drink water without feeling nauseous. I've taken pepto bismol and I've been eating bread yet nothing's helping. What do I do?
Female | 21
It seems like you might have gastritis. This occurs when the lining of your stomach becomes inflamed and can result in feelings of queasiness as well as an upset stomach. Consuming bread or using Pepto-Bismol may not help alleviate these symptoms. To keep hydrated, try drinking clear fluids such as broth or ginger tea. Additionally, you should avoid eating spicy foods that could further irritate it since they tend to be acidic too while fatty ones take longer to digest besides causing discomfort hence worsening the situation even more should this happen. For proper treatment seek medical attention if they persist beyond what is expected.

I have whole stomach pain..it's start yesterday night....and since 2 month my period is not coming....when i eat something my stomach pain increases...i can't tolerate the pain..i can't walk properly or sit properly
Female | 20
You seem to have stomach discomfort and skipped menstruation. Intensified pain upon eating signals potential issues like gastritis or ulcers. Two missed cycles could arise from various factors like hormonal imbalances or stress. Consulting a gastroenterologist proves crucial for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.

I had an external hemorrhoid that caused an anal fissure and just wanted to know what I creams I could use to remove anal fissure scar?
Female | 24
As a medical expert, I would recommend you to make a gastroenterologist consult about your anal fissure scar issue. Over-the-counter creams may not work and could cause other problems. A gastroenterologist can prescribe appropriate treatment measures including topical medications or surgery if required.

Gerd derealization eoe I really need help
Male | 17
Acid reflux happens when stomach acid goes up your food pipe and makes your chest burn. Feeling unreal is called derealization where things do not seem real. Throat inflammation is when your food pipe gets swollen and irritated.
To feel better, avoid foods that cause acid reflux like spicy or fried foods. Do things that help you relax like deep breaths or a walk. Talk to a gastroenterologist about medicines that can help.

Suppose there is a foreign body like a small fish bone or chicken bone which got stuck in small bowel or has perforated small bowel and entered peritoneal cavity. As we know upper endoscopy and colonoscopy cant reach small bowel then how do we diagnose such small object and which imaging would be the best for diagnosis?
Male | 22
In case you accidentally swallow a fish bone or a chicken bone and it gets stuck in your small bowel or pokes a hole, it can cause serious problems. These conditions can be the cause of symptoms like strong abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. To diagnose this, a CT scan of the abdomen is the best imaging test. It is capable of revealing if there's a foreign object or a hole in the bowel. When this occurs, surgery may be necessary to remove the object and fix the bowel. Don't wait if you have these symptoms, visit a gastroenterologist.

पेट मे जलन होना बार बार डकेर आणा पेट फुलना
Female | 52
The burning sensation in your stomach, the non-stop burping, and the bloated feeling can all be a consequence of acidity. It is a medical condition where the stomach is producing more acid than usual. Eating too much spicy food, stress, and not eating regular meals can bring this to you. To make you feel better start with a smaller portion of food avoid spicy meal, and stay calm. By drinking milk or using antacids you can also get some relief from the pain.

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.

पुरुष | 35
The sensation of a wound or ulcer in your stomach with low or high blood pressure and dizziness may be due to gastritis or an ulcer. These may result from stress, spicy foods, or certain medications. In this regard, eating bland and non-stressful foods and staying hydrated are recommended. If these symptoms continue, you should see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.

You have problems in your private parts. Things like pain when pooping, gooey stuff coming out, and yellow or green stuff in the morning. These signs show an infection. The infection could be from bad bacteria or maybe an STD. You need to see a gastroenterologist soon. They can treat the infection properly.

I am 17 year old boy from three days I see blood in my stool and a little pain. This happens before but after one or two days it gets okay .
Male | 17
Someone may see blood in their stool sometimes. Hemorrhoids and a small tear in the anus can cause this. It may be constipation or inflammation that's causing your pain. To help with this, try drinking more water, eating foods rich in fiber and not pushing too hard when you go to the bathroom. If these measures don’t yield any results within a few days consult a gastroenterologist who will give you appropriate advice tailored for you.
