Could it be misdiagnosis with ulcerative colitis treatment?
Contacting you for my brother. He has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 18 years ago. There seems to be no remission phases though, even though he has tried several things - medication, alternative medicine etc. Could it be something else at hand? Maybe wrong diagnosing to begin with or a combination of things?

I'm sorry to hear that your brother is struggling with ulcerative colitis. Other conditions like infections or complications from long-term inflammation might also be causing his symptoms. He needs to see a gastroenterologist for a thorough check-up to rule out other possibilities. The doctor may suggest additional tests or treatments to help manage his condition better.

I'm having anal fissure and spasm and it's very painful and itchy
Female | 20
You tear the skin around your butt when you have an anal fissure. Passing a hard stool can do it or having the runs can too. This causes pain, itching, and spasms. To ease the discomfort, use creams or ointments. You should also try eating more fiber and drinking plenty of water so that your stool is soft.

Male | 23
According to your symptoms you may have a gastrointestinal problem. For effective diagnosis and management, you need to see a gastroenterologist. They can recommend some tests that are required for the diagnosis of the cause of your stomach ache and the bowel movements that are frequent. For the time being, please limit yourself to eating non outdoor meals and consume food that is easy digestible.

Am Sam I have malaria and on malaria drug but now feeling stomach upset when trying to eat and seriously loose appetite
Male | 28
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.

Sir mujhe cronic pancreatitis he or mujhe agna 25000 prescribe ki he..... Aaj lunch time par khate huye lene ki vajah se 2 medicine galti se leli to ab kya karu?..
Male | 18
You've made a mistake - took 2 Agna 25000 tablets instead of 1. This is dangerous. Taking too much can cause side effects like stomach pain, nausea, and dizziness. Since Agna 25000 treats pancreatitis, overdosing can harm you. Contact a gastroenterologist or go to the hospital right away. They'll guide you on what to do next.

I am 21 years old I am having mild abdominal pain , mild testicular pain , foul smell pee , burning while urinating
Male | 21
You probably have a normal bacterial infection known as a urinary tract infection (UTI). It occurs when bacteria get inside the urethra and the bladder and infect them. Typical symptoms include lower belly pain, pain in your private area, smelly pee, and burning while you pee. You have to drink a lot of water and go to a gastroenterologist for the cure with antibiotics.

Stomach pains after eating. Pre cancerous cells in cervix. Pcos Dull, cramping, aching
Female | 25
Do you experience dull, cramping, or achy feelings after meals? Those sensations might be indigestion or gas troubles. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), prevalent in women, can also bring stomach discomfort. But abnormal cervical cells usually don't directly impact belly pains. To ease post-meal woes, eat smaller portions more frequently. Avoid greasy, spicy foods too. Stay hydrated. If pains increase or persist, seek medical advice from a gynecologist promptly.

Grade 3 fatty liver is a condition where a lot of fat is deposited in your liver. It can be caused by the consumption of an excessive amount of junk food or by being overweight. Symptoms can be exhaustion, pain in the stomach, or yellow skin. To be more specific, include a healthy diet, physical activity, and avoiding alcohol in your lifestyle.

I am a 23 year old female who suffer from a bloated tummy that's making sounds I am constipated and I have piles.
Female | 23
You seem to have symptoms of constipation which tighten up your tummy and produce such strange sounds. Piles or hemorrhoids can also contribute to these symptoms. Constipation means that you have a blocked bowel and experienced infrequent bowel movements. Piles are the swollen blood vessels in your bottom area. To remedy, get more fiber in your diet, drink plenty of water, and stay active as suggested. You can also use medicines meant for the external treatment of piles.

I have stomach problems so I want to know about it and get cured soon
Male | 25
You might have some issues with your stomach and you should listen to your body carefully. Pain, bloating, nausea, or diarrhea might be signs of stomach problems. These can occur when a person eats too fast, is stressed out, or eats certain foods. To feel better, try eating slowly, avoiding spicy or greasy food, and drinking plenty of water. If they persist, consult a gastroenterologist.

Hi i am 17 years old and i have doubt that i have colon cancer because i almost have every symptom
Male | 17
While colon cancer predominantly affects older individuals, understanding the potential symptoms is crucial. Noticeable signs include abdominal discomfort, changes in bowel patterns, bloody stools, and unexplained weight loss. Adopting a healthy lifestyle with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and regular exercise can help reduce risks. If you have concerns, consulting a gastroenterologist is advisable.

Hi.Almost 17 days ago I drink my syrup when I drink one spoon I notice that there was some broken glass pieces,very tiny like sugar.i don't know o swallow some or not but I am really worried now what should I have to do now ?
Female | 25
Swallowing broken glass pieces is scary. Small amounts might pass without causing harm, but they could still scratch your throat or stomach. If you're feeling fine, eating soft foods and drinking plenty of water may help it pass safely. However, if you experience pain, vomiting, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing, seek medical care immediately.

Fever cold. Cough vomiting
Female | 25
You may have a cold or flu. In case of the cold, after your body temperature has risen you may feel that you are feverish. Coughing and nausea may include symptoms also. It's all the body's defensive mechanisms that are at work because the immune system is under attack by viruses and bacteria. Relaxing drinking water, and eating fresh foods can also speed up recovery.

You might be experiencing a condition related to your liver or gallbladder. I recommend visiting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, avoid heavy meals and monitor any other symptoms.

Iam 19 years old,male,I have gas leaking from my anus and it ruins my relationships, I have H-Pylori and I have duodenum inflammation. So I need help to get rid of this leakage.
Male | 19
You may have a problem known as anal incontinence. This term refers to the inability to control your bowel movements or flatulence. This issue may be connected with your H-Pylori and inflammation in the duodenum. When the muscles in the anus become slack due to digestive disorders, an individual may experience involuntary passage of wind. To control this complication, it is recommended that you eat a balanced diet containing fiber as well as avoid foods that can trigger it. You can also do pelvic floor exercises which will help in strengthening these muscles. Don’t forget to keep seeing your doctor concerning H-Pylori and duodenum inflammation because treating them can also relieve the signs.

This can happen due to hemorrhoids, anal fissures, constipation, or other serious conditions. It's important to consult a gastroenterologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. You need to stay hydrated, include fiber in your diet, and avoid straining for recovery.

I am 25 and I've been experiencing abdominal cramps, fever. The cramps are fine now. But now I have diarrhea and the stools are yellow and foamy and very frequent. I don't know what to do.
Female | 25
The following is an attempt to explain what could be the reason behind frequently going to the loo with a yellow, foamy stool and the way the body deals with unwanted substances. It is possibly diarrhea caused by the stomach flu or eating something that didn't sit right. To restore electrolytes, drink plenty of water and be properly hydrated. If you experience the loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting that come with the condition, avoid high-fiber foods and processed carbs.

Hi doctor, um, good evening. I'm coming to you today contacting a clinic with an inquiry. (0:07) So I suffer from very bad anxiety and I recently got a therapist which was only like two months (0:14) ago or so. So within that time frame I've had blood tests done, total blood count and all of (0:21) that and it turns out that I'm not anemic. So within I would say like the past weeks or within (0:27) you know the past year or so occasionally I would get like you know stomach symptoms like diarrhea (0:32) or whatever which my doctor thought was probably IBS and I would get the occasional blood or whatever (0:37) when I strain and stuff like that. So um within the past month I was stressing myself out non-stop (0:45) like I'm constantly stressing but I'm hearing people saying now that I lost a bit of weight (0:50) but my stomach, weight, my legs, my whole body they're the same. I just seem to have lost weight (0:56) within my arms and it's making me freak out because recently today I had a bowel movement and (1:02) I saw the tad little bit of blood again and I've been constantly thinking that I have collateral (1:08) aka colon cancer at the age of 22 and it's really freaking me out and I seem to just cannot (1:15) stop thinking that I have that doctor and it's making my anxiety bad and it's giving me suicidal (1:21) thoughts due to the fact that I think that I have this cancer.
Male | 22
It seems you're worried about your health, especially colon cancer. Having that cancer at 22 is rare. Your arm weight loss could be from anxiety causing muscle loss. Seeing a therapist is good, but talking to your doctor about your worries may help reassure you. Take slow, deep breaths and try relaxation methods to ease anxiety.

I’m wondering what is wrong with me or if I should go to the ER or make an appointment I’ve been having real bad pain on my left lower abdomen hurts when applying pressure to abdomen with stretching sometimes walking and flexing
Female | 26
A condition you seem likely to have is appendicitis. Your appendix is inflamed. The symptoms: stabbing agony in your lower tummy, mostly on the left, getting worse when you apply hand pressure, bend, walk around, or flex your body. If you experience these signs, head straight to the emergency room, immediately. Appendicitis generally needs surgical removal of the appendix to stop dangerous complications from arising.

I am ramesh. I have loose motions from last 15months. I was used some medications. When I am using medications, the problem comes down and after that the problem remains same. Some of the foods not digesting properly. Please suggest any solution. Due to loose motions high burfing is comming from buttock.
Male | 29
Several things can cause this such as infections, food intolerances, or underlying health issues. Since you haven’t been cured completely by any drugs, it’s good to concentrate on your eating habits. You should stay away from spicy or oily meals and go for those that are easy to digest like rice, bananas, and toast. Ensure that you drink a lot of water so as not to be dehydrated and think about including probiotics in your diet to help with gut health. If this problem continues then please seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.
