Dr. Samrat Jankar

Surgical Gastroenterologist

Answered on 7th Oct '24

After a colostomy operation, it may take some time for your son to have normal bowel movements. This is normal as the body needs time to adjust. It usually takes about a week for bowel movements to return. During this time, it’s important to stay hydrated, eat nutritious food, and follow the advice of healthcare professionals. If you notice any alarming symptoms such as severe pain, abdominal swelling, or no bowel movements for an extended period, consult your doctor immediately.

no, for now, I want to test the toilet because when I go to defecate, I collect dirty things like yellow phlegm. Now I don't know what the problem is and I also have diarrhea

Male | 34

It seems that you have the stomach flu. The yellow phlegm might be a result of the mucus from your stomach coming up while you are straining to pass stool. Also, diarrhea can be caused by a stomach bug. Staying hydrated is what you need to do by drinking plenty of water. Keep eating bland food until your body gets better like rice and toast. Rest and let your body have the time to heal. If symptoms do not resolve, go for medical assistance.

Male | 11

From what you have described, your son may be having a gastrointestinal infection based on the recurrent gastric pain of fever and vomiting. Your son should have a comprehensive evaluation and treatment by an experienced gastroenterologist. The specialist may recommend further testing like endoscopy or imaging studies to determine the root of the problem. It is advisable to seek medical attention early in order to avoid any complications.

symptoms come and go, but are severe when they occur symptoms started three days ago and got worse today symtoms include severe presssure, cramping and tension around the belly button area and middle of the abdomen, swollen abdomen, minor tenderness and soreness, intense discomfort could these symptoms be caused by my changes in diet and stress levels? why do thy symptoms come and go?

Female | 20

The symptoms you're going through, namely tightness and cramps in the stomach, could be connected to changes in diet as well as stress levels. When stressed out, our body shows it mostly around the abdomen area. Symptoms coming and disappearing could be because of different levels of stress at different times and how the body handles various foods. Use some relaxation methods; keep a diary of what you eat so that you may know the foods that set off the symptoms.

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.

Can you help me I keep waking up in the middle of the night and feeling nauseous.

Female | 12

you should see an endocrinologist to exclude underlying GI conditions which may be the source of your symptoms. Midnight nausea may indicate acid reflux or other gastrointestinal disorders.

I am 21 years old . There is swelling in my anus and sometimes it bleeds. There is some meat also there.

Male | 21

You might be dealing with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swelling of blood vessels that can result in symptoms such as discomfort, bleeding, and a lump of flesh in the anus. Symptoms are sore, itching, and bleeding during stool. The causes for this include straining while doing bowel movements, sitting for long periods, and a diet that lacks fiber. The remedies are consuming more fiber, keeping hydrated, and applying creams that are available without a prescription.

You are experiencing some stomach upset and feeling sluggish as well. If you have had a fever, cold, dry cough, or/and muscle aches for the last fortnight or more, this might indicate gastroenteritis (stomach flu) or other viral infections. Rest, take fluids only in plenty, and eat simple easily digestible meals. If the condition persists or becomes severe seek medical attention without delay.
