Female | 19
You seem to be having these pains to the point that you have been putting up with a lot. Pain in the lower and upper abdomen, as well as chest pain and vomiting after eating, can be signs of a problem with your digestive system. You could be facing problems like gastritis or acid reflux. A gastroenterologist must be consulted to obtain precise diagnoses and suitable medicines.

A gastric balloon can be implanted by a gastroenterologist. It is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small balloon is placed in your stomach that helps you feel fuller and thus reduces food intake.

I am taking piles cream along with zero dol p bleeding tablets
Male | 29
Piles are bulging veins in the anus, which are sometimes painful, itchy, and bleeding. Pile cream can be the first step of the treatment to relieve you of the discomfort. Dr. Dol's Zero Dol P tablets may be of help with bleeding, anyway it's important to know what is causing the bleeding. Drink a lot of water, and you should also consume fibers such as whole grains and vegetables and as much as possible, avoid pushing during the movement of the bowels. If still the symptoms persist consult a gastroenterologist.

I am Riya and I am 27 years old and my problem is stomach ache which is happening since last 5-6 days and also gives burning sensation.
Female | 27
The symptoms you're experiencing might be due to gastritis, where the stomach lining gets irritated and inflamed. This may be caused by stress, eating spicy foods, or taking certain medications. You can try drinking chamomile tea or eating plain foods like rice and bananas to help soothe your stomach. But it is also necessary to refrain from alcohol and caffeine until you begin to feel better. Relax and drink enough water. If your symptoms don't improve in a few days, it's best to seek advice from a gastroenterologist.

How to get rid of stomach cramps
Female | 18
Stomach ache is the sudden pain in the belly that you feel. It may be caused by eating quickly, eating spicy food, or feeling stressed. You should try to relax and take slow breaths when these cramps occur. Drinking warm water and putting a hot water bottle on your tummy can help as well. Eating small amounts of bland food while avoiding caffeine might also relieve the cramps.

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.

Male | 40
You may have a fissure in your anus which could hurt a lot and make you uncomfortable. A fissure is like a tiny cut on the skin around your bottom. It is caused by passing hard stool, running stomach, or diseases like Crohn`s disease. Symptoms may include pain when passing stool and sometimes even bleeding. To alleviate these symptoms, try taking more fiber in your diet, drinking enough water daily, and applying creams to soothe the affected area.

The pain in the lower and upper parts of your stomach, the belly enlargement, and the missed periods could be signs of a serious condition. These symptoms can be the result of different problems like hormonal imbalances, ovarian cysts, or even pregnancy.

I can't eat because of side effects of previous medicine
Male | 23
Feeling queasy after taking medicine can be tough. Meds sometimes cause side effects like no appetite, nausea, or tummy ache. They can bother your stomach lining. Eat tiny bland meals and pause between bites. Ginger tea may help calm things too. If worried about meds, let your doctor know. They can guide what's best.

The problem I’m having is that I had high blood pressure some weeks again and I took drug it goes back to normal some days after I noticed that I’m my stern notch is pulsing whenever I place my finger on it it kinda heavy and also I’m having diarrhea after eating chest pain and sometimes as if something is in my throat and I’m always weak and feel bloated And I did an X-ray on my chest everything is normal
Female | 24
Acid reflux might cause your chest pain. A lump-in-throat sensation, bloating, and diarrhea after meals are signs. Stomach acid flows back up the food pipe. Smaller meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods help. Don't lie down after eating. Drink lots of water too. This condition is when stomach acid flows up. Visit a gastroenterologist if the problem continues.

's burning me from the inside out. What can I take? I tried baking soda but I use 2tbs instead of half a teaspoon and have been having extreme burning and pain in my body and rectum for a year it's getting worse. I eat a strict diet and I work etc so in general after I eat it or when I wake up it's on fire supplements I take charcoal tablets because I have constipation so I feel like because my bowls are t emptying the toxins are causing inflammation to flare up. I take a leaky gut powder, creatine, anxiety medication the generic version of Lexapro 10 mg a mood stabilizer 150 mg, and propanol as needed. Recently my doctor put me on omeprazole. I take mushrooms turmeric
Female | 29
It seems you may have severe acid reflux if your doctor gave you a prescription for omeprazole. Your symptoms can get worse if you take too much baking soda. The burning feeling means there could be too much acid in your stomach and esophagus. Always take all drugs and supplements according to the instructions on the label. Also, remember to write down what you eat and how it makes you feel then raise any questions with your doctor.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out confusion and frustration. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.Sometimes diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion My doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) along with Amixide h(chlorodizapoxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain fade away.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just take those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. Can you guys help me to correctly understand the disease and ways to overcome it.
Male | 29
It seems that this disease has reached you without any diagnostic problem, and it turns out to be IBS.
The doctor associated with the management of your symptoms and provision of relief is putting you on medication which includes Librax (Clinidiumchlorobenzodioxide) and Amixide H (chlorobenzodioxide amitriptyline). This particular type of drug worked effectively in relieving you from the pain just like it had no existence at all.
It is necessary to emphasize that IBS can be long-term and would probably demand long-term therapy. You are advised by your doctor to follow the instructions as they have been given and take all the medications that have been prescribed to you as directed. Close visits with the gastroenterologist are vital to achieving progress and controlling the treatment by your doctor.
If you had GAD in your earlier years, you need to make some lifestyle modifications since it can affect your gut health. On the one hand, Lexapro withdrawal caused intestinal ulcers because your gastroenterologist instructed me to stop using it, but on the other hand, it was necessary to prevent ulcers.

Female | 28
Most people at times deal with bladder troubles. You may feel an urgent need to urinate frequently, along with stomach cramps. Such symptoms often indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI) or bladder irritation. Simple steps can provide relief: drinking ample water, limiting caffeine and spicy fare, and fully emptying your bladder when urinating. However, if discomfort persists, seeking medical advice from a urologist becomes advisable.

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.

after drinking the alchocol with the beer i got vomit the little blood what is the reason
Male | 22
The alcohol likely irritated your stomach, which can occur when consuming a lot. Throwing up blood might indicate a bleeding stomach ulcer. Look out for stomach pain, dizziness, and feeling faint. It's important to stay hydrated and avoid alcohol until you're feeling better. If it persists, seek medical attention right away.

I feel hungry but can't eat.
Male | 59
Feeling hungry but not being able to eat can be tough. In this case, if stress or worry occupies your mind, it is difficult to have an appetite. Feeling sick and having tummy troubles can also lead to this. It's essential to try activities for fun, such as drinking ginger tea or taking a gentle walk, to help your tummy relax. If your tummy troubles continue, talk to a gastroenterologist about other options.

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.
