How to relieve post-surgery constipation after stopping oxy?
I am 19 and I had surgery 8 days ago and had to go on oxy. i’ve stopped taking it about 4 days ago. For the past 8 days i haven’t been able to poop. I have to go very bad but every time i do it’s too painful to pass and i have to suck it back up. i took 4 stool softeners yesterday and 1 the day before. I have to go really bad but i’m not sure what to do and i’m scared to because it hurts so bad

You’ve been struggling with constipation since your surgery and taking painkillers. Pain medication can slow things down in your body which causes constipation. I’m glad you took stool softeners but also try drinking more water, eating lots of fibre such as fruit and vegetables, or doing a little bit more exercise. If it doesn’t help, visit a gastroenterologist.

I'm getting blood in my boop while passing. Kindly help me to solve
Male | 37
Experiencing bleeding during bowel movements can be concerning, but various factors could contribute to this symptom. Common causes include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or gastrointestinal conditions. While these may not indicate serious issues, it’s essential to identify the exact reason. To alleviate discomfort, ensure adequate hydration, incorporate fiber into your diet, and practice gentle bathroom habits. However, I encourage you to schedule a visit with a gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms further.

Male | 23
Drinking alcohol frequently can lead to digestive issues and chest pain. These symptoms may be due to gastritis or acid reflux caused by alcohol irritating your stomach and esophagus. To help alleviate your symptoms, try to reduce or stop drinking alcohol and opt for a healthier diet with smaller meals. Drinking plenty of water can also aid digestion. If the issue persists, please seek medical advice.

I have a piles issue and have undergone several surgeries, but now I'm experiencing stomach-related problems. In the morning, I have to go to the bathroom 3-4 times. Is this related to my piles, or should I consult another doctor?
Female | 27
Experiencing frequent bathroom visits in the morning can sometimes be linked to dietary habits, stress, or changes in bowel function, especially after multiple surgeries. While it may not directly correlate with your piles issue, it's essential to consult with a gastroenterologist to explore the underlying causes. Keeping a diary of your symptoms, including food intake and any discomfort, can be helpful for your doctor.

How long after a perianal abscess drainage can a patient undergo VAAFT for a high transsphincteric fistula? And how high is the risk of incontinence?
Female | 31
Having VAAFT for a high trans sphincteric fistula after perianal abscess drainage is usually safe around 4 to 6 weeks later. The body needs time to recover. VAAFT is a procedure that has a low risk of incontinence, which is estimated to be around 5 to 10%. Make sure to discuss all the risks and benefits with your gastroenterologist before having the procedure.

Male | 29
Dealing with not feeling all empty after going to the bathroom and tummy troubles, I get it. Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS for short, commonly brings these issues. It's a lasting condition needing ongoing care. Cutting out things that trigger it like dairy, spicy eats, and caffeinated drinks might provide relief. Staying active regularly also helps manage symptoms. Don't forget to drink plenty of fluids and de-stress, as these can worsen IBS.

Having watery stools from yesterday..no pain...not much of a weakness..only after watery stool that happened yesterday,felt weak..but not now..but watery yellow stool continuing...
Male | 32
Your watery yellow stools, a potential tummy bug or food reaction, began yesterday. Losing water and nutrients through diarrhea weakens the body. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. If it persists beyond two days or worsens, seek medical advice promptly. A gastroenterologist's assessment ensures appropriate next steps for resolving this digestive issue.

I am a 20year old who has been vomiting everything I eat or drink for the past one week and I have been having headaches frequently, what could be the issue
Female | 20
Might it be the case that you are having a migraine? Headache-inducing and vomiting-causing migraines. When you throw up, the body is attempting to eliminate the pain. Drink a lot of water and rest in a dark and quiet place. Stress or certain foods should be avoided as they are triggering. If symptoms persist, it is important to see a gastroenterologist.

I have a sudden pains near the belly button and right lower corner of the abdomen which is sharp and it comes suddenly in the evening .
Female | 18
Your symptoms suggest appendicitis - an inflamed appendix. Pain starts sharply near the navel, then shifts to the lower right abdomen. Fever, nausea, vomiting often occur too. Act quickly! Appendicitis needs urgent hospital treatment, maybe surgery. Delaying risks major complications. Head to the ER without delay if these signs match your condition.

Iam 25 year old male .I had fever & fatigue in regular intervals .sleepy mode full time.i was facing an acid reflux. A pain on upper right side of chest
Male | 25
The fever, fatigue, acid reflux, and pain in the upper right side of your chest suggest you haven't been feeling well. Have you considered the possibility of having acid reflux disease? This occurs when stomach acid moves into the food pipe, causing discomfort. Avoid spicy foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. Also, drink plenty of water daily. If your symptoms persist despite these changes, I recommend seeing a gastroenterologist for further advice.

Gerd derealization eoe I really need help
Male | 17
Acid reflux happens when stomach acid goes up your food pipe and makes your chest burn. Feeling unreal is called derealization where things do not seem real. Throat inflammation is when your food pipe gets swollen and irritated.
To feel better, avoid foods that cause acid reflux like spicy or fried foods. Do things that help you relax like deep breaths or a walk. Talk to a gastroenterologist about medicines that can help.

I am Trisha from tamil Nadu past few days I have burning sensation in my stomach i consulted near by doctor they told to do not intake tea or coffee I have a doubt ginger tea is for digestion process is that compulsory do not take tea
Female | 20
It's important to understand that a burning sensation in your stomach can stem from various causes, such as acidity or gastric issues. While ginger tea is often recommended for digestion, it's still wise to follow your doctor's advice regarding caffeine intake, as both tea and coffee can sometimes irritate the stomach further. Instead, consider herbal teas like chamomile or peppermint, which may be gentler on your digestive system. If symptoms persist or worsen, please reach out to your gastroenterologist for personalized guidance.

I have stomach pain after a two day water fast it comes and goes. It can start up if I lay down on my left side.
Male | 26
Gastritis, an irritation of the stomach lining, seems likely. Fasting may have contributed to this issue. The pain is usually a dull ache that comes and goes. Lying on your left side might worsen it because of your stomach's position. To manage this, try eating small, frequent meals for a while. Avoid spicy or acidic foods for a few days. If the pain continues, consult a gastroenterologist.
