Gastroenterology

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

A tear may caused by the hardening of the fecal matter or the passing of hard feces. The stickiness of mucus and signs of bleeding might indicate inflammation in that area. It is advised that you should visit a gastroenterologist to have a gastroscopy done.

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.

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 am 21 yrs male i have difficulty swallowing from about 2 months my food pipe just down the throat feels like chocked i also have difficulty taking burps Some times i also have chest pain and difficulty breathing. I also have consulted some doctors in ent department and medicine department. But, no results.

Male | 21

These might be the signs of esophageal constriction, a throat-narrowing disorder. This makes it difficult for the food to pass through the horizons of the food pipe. For this to be diagnosed and treated, you might need a thorough examination by a gastroenterologist who can carry out tests like endoscopy. Therapy may include the expansion of the affected area of the food pipe.

I am Mrs Gomes 55 years old lady suffering from upper abdomen pain from last few months and special after the meal and feeling floating

Female | 55

Indigestion occurs when the stomach struggles to break down food. This can cause discomfort, making it feel like air or gas is trapped in the belly. To help alleviate this, try eating smaller meals, avoid spicy and fatty foods, and stay upright after eating. Drinking ginger tea or taking over-the-counter antacids may also provide relief. If the pain persists, consult a gastroenterologist for further examination.

I suffered from jaundice from last year mid July. I am diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis . But doctors couldn't confirm cause of jaundice. But they treated me with UDCA tablet . I'm cured as per LFT and other tests result. Its been 20 days. I had severe itching all over my body that time . But now its completely gone . My birthday is coming in a week. I would love to eat nonveg especially chicken... could you please suggest whether i can EAT chicken or not ?.

Female | 25

Since your liver function tests have normalized, it's likely safe to enjoy chicken and other non-veg foods. These can be a good source of protein. However, make sure to avoid overly fatty or spicy preparations that might be harder on your digestive system. For peace of mind, it's a good idea to check with your gastroenterologist before making any significant dietary changes.

This could be caused by bad food, a virus, or digestion issues. Try this: eat smaller meals, avoid spicy or fatty foods, and drink plenty of liquids. If you don't feel better soon, it's best to see a gastroenterologist. They can properly assess your condition and provide medication if needed.

Doctor, My son have colostomy surgery. I want to know how much time to second OT for normal out stool process....?

Male | 2month 10days

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.

Male | 21

If the roko tablets weren't helpful, it could be an infection, food poisoning, or a stomach bug. Moreover, drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. Eating simple foods like rice, toast, and bananas will also help. If it continues, it's best to visit a gastroenterologist.

Male | 3

Stomach aches in children can be caused by infections, constipation, or food sensitivities. Anafortan is a medicine meant to relieve pain, but it may not always work. Combining Anafortan with Colic Acid can sometimes be unsafe. It’s important not to experiment with medicines, especially those for children. Instead, talk to a gastroenterologist before giving your child any new medicine. The doctor can suggest safer and more effective ways to help your child feel better.

Loose poop is when you go to the bathroom a lot and it is watery. It can happen from bugs, bad food, or worry. Drink lots of water so you don't get dry. Eat simple foods like plain rice, bread, and bananas. If it keeps happening, talk to a gastroenterologist.

I am 17 year old male patient suddenly in anal region small lump is seen and very uncomfortable while sleeping sitting and itching and blood while wipe

Male | 17

You may have got a hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoids are inflamed veins in your anus, which can lead to discomfort, itching, and sometimes bleeding. This condition may be a result of stressing during bowel movements, sitting for a long time, or not taking fiber in your diet. To get rid of your symptoms, you can apply OTC creams, take warm baths, and eat more fiber-rich foods. Hemorrhoids are most often disappear by themselves but if it is uncomfortable, it would be better to discuss with a gastroenterologist.

Hello. I was just wondering if this would naturally pass. I accidentally poured too much dry chia seeds( a fourth to almsot half of the bowl) and in mixed instant oats and egg to form a pancake, now im bloated for the entire day and night with sharp pain at the upper abdomen. My stomach is making sounds too Constipated but did have a bowel movement. The pain is still there even after the bowel movement. Do i just keep drinking water? Will this eventually subside naturally?

Female | 21

It's understandable to feel uncomfortable after consuming a larger amount of chia seeds, which can absorb water and expand in your digestive system. Bloating and abdominal pain can occur as your body works to process this. Staying hydrated is key, so continue drinking water, as this can help ease digestion. Additionally, try gentle movements or light walking to aid your stomach. If discomfort persists or worsens, or if you experience significant changes in bowel habits, it’s best to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I am a 38 year old man and lately I have blood in my stool and also when I have sex with my girlfriend I have rectal bleeding. Is ejaculation related to homorroids?

Male | 38

When you see blood in your stool or have it while having sex, it might be because of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels around the anus and lower rectum that can bleed, hurt, or itch. Ejaculation alone doesn't cause them but pushing during bowel movements or any other activity can worsen them. To relieve yourself eat more fibre, drink lots of water, and seek advice from a doctor.

Was having mild stinginess in my throat in january and was prescribed rabeloc for 1 month followed by esomeprazole for another month. After the completion of my dose my throat was fine and the medication stopped. But in 1 week I was having a severe stabbing chest pain stomach pain . Is it because I stopped the medication or something else. As before starting the medication I never had this issue.

Female | 25

Abruptly discontinuing the medication could trigger your symptoms return. Stomach discomfort and chest pain are potential side effects when stopping acid-reducing medicines too quickly. Gradually tapering off these drugs is crucial to avoid such complications. Consult a gastroenterologist to discuss the symptoms you're experiencing and receive proper guidance on managing them effectively.

Tummy aches, throwing up, and frequent bathroom trips are common signs of food poisoning. The key is staying hydrated; drink lots of water or rehydration drinks. Stick to simple eats like crackers or rice for now. Give your body a break and avoid spicy, greasy, or dairy items. If symptoms don't improve or get worse, see a gastroenterologist right away.

Male | 37

You might be having a problem called aspiration. This is when the stomach acid comes up to the throat and causes trouble breathing. Sometimes, it may also cause pain in the upper abdomen. This is a very serious problem that needs to be treated by your gastroenterologist. Changing your eating habits and taking medications can help control this situation.

Female | 26

Pain in the lower abdomen that radiates can be linked to several conditions, including complications from your previous endometriosis or ongoing abdominal tuberculosis treatment. Persistent low-grade fever may indicate inflammation or infection. It’s crucial to monitor these symptoms closely. I strongly recommend reaching out to your gastroenterologist, who can perform necessary evaluations and adjust your treatment if needed.
