Can TENS electrodes address rectal hyposensitivity after clozapine use?

Can TENS electrodes placed over s3-s4 sacral nerves help correct rectal hyposensitivity? I can only sense type 5 stools and above. Unable to sense type 4 stools and smaller. I lost sensation due to excessive straining from constipation caused by clozapine. I came off it and BM are normal.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) may offer relief by enhancing nerve activity in the sacral region, potentially improving sensation and function. Rectal hyporesponsiveness can stem from factors like prolonged straining or medication side effects. While you’re experiencing normal bowel movements now, it’s essential to discuss your sensation concerns with a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate your situation comprehensively and recommend suitable therapies, including pelvic floor exercises or specific nerve stimulation techniques.

Unchanged background of scattered tree-in-bud nodularity seen most prominently in the bilateral lower lobes. Findings are likely due to sequela of low volume aspiration given mildly patulous appearance of the esophagus, concerning for esophageal dysmotility/chronic reflux. Clinical correlation and further evaluation with fluoroscopic guided esophagram may be considered. If patient's symptoms persist or worsen, consider repeat CT chest in 3 to 6 months to further evaluate. No new suspicious pulmonary nodularity or pathologic intrathoracic lymphadenopathy appreciated.

By analyzing the scan results, the doctors found that there are small clusters in the lungs which can be a sign of possible aspiration. This could be because of the problems with the functioning of the esophagus, which may be related to chronic reflux. To be sure, a test called an esophagram could provide more insights. If symptoms continue, another scan in a few months could help track any changes.

Can i take probiotics capsules with liver syrup?

Male | 27

You can usually take probiotic capsules along with liver syrup. Probiotics add beneficial bacteria for gut health, while liver syrup supports liver function. Taking both may help maintain a well-balanced gut, but it's best to take them at different times of the day to ensure they work effectively. Always follow the directions on the labels for the best results.

Your signs like high he­at, loose poop, and low energy could be­ from typhoid fever. Typhoid feve­r is caused by a germ called Salmone­lla typhi that can be found in dirty food or water. The cure­ is antibiotics and drinking lots of wate­r. It is important to see a doctor for the right he­lp and cure.

Constipation is the inability to poop regularly. Symptoms are bloating, stomach pain, and not pooping every day. Causes can be not eating enough fiber, not drinking enough water, or not moving enough. To help with this, try eating more fruits, and veggies, and drinking a lot of water.

Typhoid hota rahta h bar bar jata nhi hai

Female | 25

Typhoid is a serious dise­ase, not like regular illne­sses. It stems from bacteria e­ntering through contaminated water or food. Symptoms include­ fever, tummy aches, and we­akness. But don't worry, antibiotics treat it e­ffectively. Be mindful to consume­ clean water and food.
