Why does my abdomen hurt when pressed lightly?

I am 21 years old. When I press my abdomin lightly it hurts, Even when I poop I feel pressure build up in the lump near umbilicus. I feel constant discomfort in my abdomin,,no pain though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Since he was 3.5 years old he had habbit of going to.potty after 3 to 4 days and it extended till 6 to 7 days also. The potty was very hard and a single loop hard to flush. But since last 4 days he is complaining of stomach ache and going to.potty each time. The stool is normal and soft as compared to previous times and flushable. Please suggest.

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.

Female | 37

Curing colon cancer at stage 4 is difficult but it is not impossible. The primary treatment for stage 4 colon cancer is chemotherapy, which aims to shrink the cancer or in some cases radiation therapy is used. Consult an oncologist who can recommend a proper treatment plan for you.

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.

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.
