Should I Reduce Weekly Junk Food Consumption?
I (Age 22, male) eat junk food(a sandwich or a roll) every Wednesday. I also eat puri sagu (south indian food - about 7 in quantity) every Sunday. It is not exactly junk food. Is this a bad habit? Should I reduce it? Or is it not a problem?

Answered on 24th July '24
You're wise to think about eating habits. Weekly sandwiches and rolls aren't ideal. Too much junk food causes weight gain, high cholesterol, and heart issues. Balance meals with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Swap some junk food for healthier choices.

Am having stomach ache and motion 2-3 times and peeing continuously
Female | 35
Running to the bathroom repeatedly or feeling stomach pains? It may indicate a stomach bug, causing frequent bowel movements and increased urination. Staying hydrated and consuming bland foods could provide relief. However, if symptoms persist beyond a day or two, consulting a gastroenterologist becomes crucial for proper recovery.

Female | 42
There are two possibilities: you could be benefiting from the medicine, or you might be experiencing side effects from artemether. Common symptoms include stomach discomfort and shortness of breath when the drug enters the body. It’s best to stop the medication and consult your doctor right away. These symptoms could indicate a serious condition requiring urgent care, so seek medical help immediately.

I’ve been diagnosed with gastroenteritis for the past three days, but today’s gotten so much worse, I had frequent watery stool and no appetite at all, what can I do
Female | 13
You're experiencing severe gastroenteritis symptoms. This illness causes abdominal pain, vomiting, and frequent diarrhea, usually caused by viruses or bacteria. The recommended approach is resting, drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and avoiding spicy or fatty foods. Consume bland items like crackers and plain rice to soothe your stomach. Recovery should occur soon. However, if symptoms worsen or you can't keep liquids down, visit a gastroenterologist.

মুখ দিয়ে কফের মত প্রায় উঠছে খাবার পর হজম হচ্ছে না ঠিক ভাবে গ্যাস এর বরি হজমের টনিক খেয়েও ঠিক পুরোপুরি হচ্ছে না,রোগা হয়ে যাচ্ছি এটা কি ভিটামিনের অভাবে হতে পারে বা কিভাবে ভালো হবো বলে দিলে ভালো হতো ।
Female | 22
The signs you mentioned suggest you are experiencing gastric distress, which happens when the stomach can't process food properly. This often leads to gas buildup and causes discomfort. It's not related to a lack of vitamins. Try eating smaller portions, avoid spicy and oily foods, and chew your food slowly. Drinking a glass of warm water can also help you feel better.

Hi doc i have been recebtly diagnosed for having gallstones but now im itching uncontrollably and i have dark urine is that of concern?
Female | 26
Feeling an intense itch and noticing dark-colored urine raises red flags if you have gallstones. The dark urine likely stems from bile flow blockage in the liver. Meanwhile, the persistent itching sensation may result from bile salts seeping into your skin. These distressing symptoms could signal underlying issues with your liver or bile ducts. It's crucial to promptly seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.

My sister have annal issue.. A tail like structure comes out partially. He is suffering from partial pain..
Female | 34
Anal fissures cause a tear in the anus lining. Bowel movements become painful. A small piece of tissue sticks out too. Keeping clean, eating fiber, drinking water prevents constipation. That helps a lot. Over-the-counter creams provide relief too. Your sister likely has an anal fissure condition. Symptoms match what you described. Proper care is important for healing. Fiber, water intake, and hygiene make a big difference. Medicated creams also ease discomfort and promote healing.

A week ago I had some foul tasting food, I've had bleeding since then like a very heavy period , and now my resting heart rate is down 10-20bpm roughly from last week.
Female | 30
It is possible the bleeding you are experiencing is the result of problems with the digestive system, including the eating of spoilt or contaminated food. It is necessary to go to a gastroenterologist immediately to find out the causes and symptoms of the bleeding.

Was having mild stinging in my throat in january and was prescribed rabeloc for one month followed by esomeprazole for another month. After the completion of my dose my throat was fine and I stopped the medication. However I noticed in one week after stopping the medcines I had severe stabbing pains in my chest stomach breast. Could it be because I stopped the ppi or something else.
Female | 25
You were taking medication to alleviate throat discomfort, and now you're experiencing chest and abdominal pain. These pains might be a consequence of abruptly discontinuing the medicine. The medication likely reduced stomach acid levels. Upon cessation, your body may have produced more acid, resulting in the pain you're experiencing. It would be advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist to determine the appropriate course of action.

A year-long stomach problem might be causing your weight and hair loss. Poor nutrient absorption due to infection or digestive disorder could lead to these symptoms. Consulting a doctor for testing and treatment is crucial. Maintaining a nutritious diet and stress management might also aid recovery. However, you should seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist promptly for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.

There are various reasons why someone would get a stomachache like consuming too much and too quickly, having gas, or maybe the person might be suffering from a stomach virus. I would advise you to eat smaller portions of food, stay away from spicy foods, and drink as much water as possible. If the pain continues, please consult a gastroenterologist.

My aunt has kidney problems. She undergoes kidney dialysis twice a week. She has worms in her intestines. He started taking exantal 500 mg along with vermox 500 mg to treat worms. After taking the medicines, there are worms in their intestines, they are coming out in thousands through the stool. So how long will they have to take the pills they are taking? The bugs are very small and there are black bugs along with big white bugs. Please tell me if there is any other treatment for this.
Female | 50
Your aunt has intestinal worms, but the good news is that medications like Exantal and Vermox can help get rid of them. It’s normal for worms to appear in the stool after taking the medication. She may need to continue taking the pills for a few more days to ensure all the worms are gone. If she still has worms after completing the treatment, it's important to consult the doctor for further options.

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.
