Answered on 6th Sept '24
From your description, it seems what you have is an umbilical hernia. Therein, a little piece of your intestine may pop up through a weak part of your belly button, and as a result, a lump is formed. This may be the reason why you experience discomfort when pushing on your belly or while pooping. See a gastroenterologist for a thorough diagnosis and treatment, which can involve surgery to repair the hernia.

I have stomach pain for 2 weeks and gastric trouble. Along with it, I have back pain also. What can I do to cure this
Male | 20
You're feeling the pain in your stomach, the pain of a bad stomach and back pain. The symptoms of these health problems can be different in each case and are mostly caused by things like gastritis or acid reflux. Try eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding spicy or greasy food, and staying hydrated. Antacids are a good remedy that can also be bought at the counter. If the pain doesn't lessen, your best option is to register with a gastroenterologist for further advice.

Does jaundice cause excessive urine? If it does occur then why does it occur?
Male | 18
Jaundice occurs when there’s too much of a yellow pigment called bilirubin in your body. This can cause your skin and eyes to turn yellow. Jaundice may also lead to more frequent urination as your body tries to remove the extra bilirubin through urine. If you have jaundice, see your doctor to understand the cause and get the right treatment.

I'm 29 years old . I have problem in stomuch just below chest at middle when I eat and drink water after some time I the irritation starts at that point some times acid reflux also aoccurs. This is happens from Last 5 years. This pain stoped last 4 months but it again comes
Male | 29
You may be having acid reflux. Stomach acid goes up your food pipe bringing irritation and pain. Thus, the muscle between the stomach and the food pipe weakens, which may cause this to happen. Do not eat large meals, avoid eating any spicy foods, and do not stay upright for a long time. If the pain is still present, visit a gastroenterologist.

Hi, I believe I am suffering from IBS for several years. No blood in stools,.no weight loss so don't think it's IBD. Would being tested for intolerance or sensitivity to certain foods help alleviate my symptoms. Thank you
Female | 56
Consider testing for food intolerances or sensitivities might be helpful. While IBS doesn't cause structural damage like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), it can still lead to uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms.

Have been having back pain and was prescribed zerodol for 5 days but I have gastric. NOW I am having some pain in chest after the completion of medication zerodol.
Female | 26
You could be suffering acid reflux which is the actual reason for a painful chest. Zerodol has the potential to occasionally cause stomach inflammation, which might have been the cause of your chest conditions. In this regard, try to eat smaller meals, avoid hot, spicy foods, and remain standing for some time after your meal. You might also consider talking to a pharmacist for advice on which over-the-counter medications are best for acid reflux.

The lower left quadrant of my abdomen hurts for 12 days with mild bloating. The pain was intense before, very intense when it comes, I would say a 7 to 8 out of 10. I also had abdominal cramps, rectal tenesmus, and have been taking laxatives but not anymore today. I still feel occasional discomfort and pain in my abdomen. The pain was intense for 9 days before dampening now into a more mild form. I made a visit to the doctor in day 9 (it is day 12 today) and the doctor said it should be cleared up in 3 days. The doctor said it may be a fecaloma. After not taking laxatives, the diarrhoea is less watery but I still feel bloated and painful in my abdomen although much milder. I suspect an underlying problem.
Male | 21
Your symproms could be due to some underlying issue..possible causes can be fecal impaction, gastrointestinal infections, Ibs, or other gastrointestinal conditions. Follow up with your doctor for thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

I m suffering from gallbladder stone whenever I try to do exercise I feel some pain near stomach
Female | 26
You may have gallstones. These are lumps of solid material that form in your gallbladder. When you do exercise, it could push against them and cause pain in the upper right part of your abdomen. Other symptoms might include nausea or vomiting and persistent tenderness over where the stone is located. You should try eating less fatty foods too if this is an ongoing issue for you. But if nothing changes, please visit a gastroenterologist.

I am a 51 year old female and I have been having diarrhea and squishy poops and sometimes the poops can’t come out so I have to use my finger to get them out, so I am wondering why I keep getting these symptoms?
Female | 51
Having diarrhea or soft poop could be due to many things such as infections or food sensitivities while difficulty passing stool could mean constipation. You need to eat more fiber, drink plenty of water, and also go for a medical check-up to know exactly what is wrong with you.

Male | 8
I advise you to take your child to a doctor. Based on proper evaluation and diagnosis, the doctor will be able to determine whether the problem faced is due some underlying medical issue such as food intolerance, infection or some other reason. Based on that, treatment may be suggested which may include certain dietary and lifestyle changes, medications etc.

I am having a stomach ache since one year. Symptoms are - gas , vomiting feeling, appetite losing, headache, and nothing else . I have done many examination and test and fortunately all are okay and good. So how can i cure this stomach ache permanently?
Female | 14
Stress or certain foods may cause stomach issues. Try tracking what you eat to pinpoint problem foods. Relaxation techniques like deep breaths, meditation, or gentle exercise could help reduce stress. Eat smaller meals more often, and drink plenty of fluids. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, consult a gastroenterologist.

I m 21 week pregnant. My SGPT AND SGOT is 394 and 327. Already taking liver medicine prescribe by doctor. Why it is happening. Is it normal??
Female | 30
Elevated serum GOT (394) and GPT (327) levels in pregnancy are not widespread. These levers might be indicators of liver damage, which could be caused by some liver conditions or infections like Isaak's disease. Fortunately, you are already taking medication. Stick to your doctor's recommendations. Don't forget to have a healthy lifestyle that includes good food, proper hydration, and sufficient sleep. The monthly checkups can tell whether the problem is under control.

These signs could indicate a problem like appendicitis or kidney stones. A qualified gastroenterologist can make the right diagnosis and treatment plan. You must get checked out as soon as possible because putting off medical attention may be detrimental to your health.

I am 33 year old have been having lower abdominal pain at my right side the pains go and come please what can be the problem
Female | 33
The problem might point to appendicitis, the inflammation of the appendix. At times, pain takes place quietly, but if it is worse, don't overlook it. The signs of appendicitis might involve the patient having high fever, nausea, and loss of appetite. Don't hesitate to go to the emergency department as soon as the suspicion of appendicitis arises. Surgery could become a necessity in the process of getting your appendix to remove it and thus keep it from rupturing.

I have constant gas every night in my belly for the last 3 years and recently my gas has been stuck beside my belly button.
Female | 36
Your belly feels gassy, right around the navel. That bloated sensation stings. Gas frequently results from meals being improperly digested. Rapid eating, chewing gum, carbonated beverages - these worsen it. Slow down while eating, avoid gas-causing foods, and hydrate well. If issues persist, consulting a gastroenterologist provides expert guidance.
