No, Pyrantel pamoate kills roundworms and hookworms; however it does not kill tapeworm. If you think about the infection with tapeworms, it is recommended to refer a gastroenterologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

i am a 19 year old female currently about to be 36 weeks pregnant and for the past week ive had horrible diarrhea i did have fevers but they stopped two days ago now only the diarrhea remains and its only gotten worse it seems. ive been to urget care and my obgyn but they haven’t given me the answers im looking for, waiting on some test to come back. my question is my diarrhea has been bright yellow and its been every other hour. since my fever went down ive started getting pain in my stomach everytime i get up and move mainly due to needing to go to the bathroom ( baby is completely fine says the doctors and i do feel her moving the same as before) when i go to use the bathroom its like i cannot get it out only little bits of the diarrhea and now today it is black. so far its like every ten or so minutes my stomach starts hurting and i need to go back but its so swollen and has started to bleed a little bit from so much diarrhea that it really hurts but yet barley any comes out should i try a stool softener?

Female | 19

Bright yellow diarrhea may indicate bile in your stool, while black diarrhea can suggest stomach bleeding. These symptoms could be due to infections or other medical issues that need attention. In my opinion, using a stool softener may not be ideal at this time. It's important to continue following your doctor's advice closely.

Tb problem, gastric, fever

Male | 33

You might be suffering from tuberculosis which is characterized by gastric disorders and fever. Tuberculosis is a member of the group of bacillus bacteria. Symptoms can be weight loss, coughing, sweating at night, and chest pain. TB can affect the stomach, presenting as pain and appetite. The recommended action is to use antibiotic drugs over months of usage. Ensure you consume all your medicines as your medical practitioner describes it to you for the best results. Make sure to finish all your medication as prescribed by a gastroenterologist to get better.

I'm 30 years old whenever i eat shawarma o have to poo before 2 hours and this have been happening constituency don't know what to do

Male | 30

This could be the reason for the spices, oils, or a particular kind of meat you are consuming that is causing digestive problems. Keeping a food diary to learn patterns and observe if other foods also cause this kind of reaction is vital. Increasing the daily water intake and eating less food should help in minimizing discomfort. Nevertheless, recurring problems necessitate contacting a gastroenterologist who can give a complete evaluation and the most relevant advice concerning the problem.

I feel with no efforts, I vomit everything I eat even water, and I run to washroom frequently

Male | 26

It seems like you might have a stomach bug or infection. In case you vomit everything even water and you have diarrhea frequently, try to remember that a virus or a bacterium irritates your stomach and intestines. You may experience this along with excess fluid loss. Besides, drinking water or ginger ale in sips will help you to keep hydrated. Stick to low-calorie food like crackers and rice. If the symptoms increase or persist, make sure to seek medical attention.

I think i am having std in anus what should i do for it

Male | 29

Possible symptoms need to be taken care of including discomfort, unusual discharge, or itching in the anal area. They can be caused by infections, irritations, or sexually transmitted illnesses. To get the correct cure, I advise you to plan an appointment with a doctor. They can help you in running the needed tests and coming up with a clear diagnosis. The treatment might include the use of drugs or some positive peripherals. Remember, it is always better to ask for a gastroenterologist's advice.

Good evening doc. I'm a 21 year old girl suffering from s case of external pile. It doesn't itch or give me severe pain, only a slight one when I'm cleaning up after using the toilet. My stool isn't hard, but i had a slight case of diarrhea for 2 days so it prompted the pile to become external, because before it'll come out a little but still go back in. I've tried icing and also using sugar on it but it hasn't improved please i need your help. Thank you.

Female | 21

You are experiencing discomfort from external hemorrhoids, which can occur due to straining or changes in stool consistency. Since you're noticing slight pain, consistent hygiene, and avoiding irritation is essential. I recommend using over-the-counter creams designed for hemorrhoid relief, applying warm compresses, and maintaining a high-fiber diet to ease bowel movements. Staying hydrated can also help. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consider seeing a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment.

These might indicate a hormonal disorder named polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The condition can trigger such diverse symptoms. To manage this, it's crucial to eat a balanced diet, exercise frequently, and visit a gastroenterologist for proper assessment and care.

I am a female, fell during loose motion & my head hit the floor, have taken some stomach medicine before that incident

Female | 40

It's important to get evaluated by a neurologist or an emergency physician if you hit your head after falling. Even seemingly mild head injuries can sometimes have serious consequences, so it's best to seek medical attention promptly. They can assess for any potential concussion or head injury and provide appropriate guidance based on your symptoms and medical history.

I am 24yrs old female and i have a lots of itching in my anus and while passing stools blood comes out and there is pain. Due to this i have a lots of trouble in sitting or walking and no matter how much food i eat i am able to paas stools only after 3 days..i checked my anus and i saw extra skin around the anus so please tell me what should i do??

Female | 24

You might have a condition called hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can be responsible for such manifestations as itching, pain, and bleeding during bowel movements. The extra skin you notice around the anus is probably swollen blood vessels. To help relieve the discomfort, try increasing the fiber intake, drinking enough water, and using over-the-counter creams. If your symptoms do not subside, see a gastroenterologist for a more thorough diagnosis and treatment.

While taking potassium citrate magnesium citrate and vitamin b6 the loose motion is going so it is good to take

Male | 20

Loose motions, diarrhea as doctors call it, can be troublesome. Certain medicines like potassium citrate, magnesium citrate, and vitamin B6 may cause it. These can upset your stomach sometimes. To help, stay hydrated, eat mild foods. Perhaps ask your pharmacist about adjusting the B6 dose or trying a different form.

I have been taking zerodol and antibiotics for 5 days. And after the completion of the course I am having some acid reflux. What should I do ?

Female | 26

You have acid reflux after you finish your medications. The antibiotics might have disturbed your stomach, playing a role in developing acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and sit up straight after eating. You can also consider taking over-the-counter antacids. If the symptoms last, it is better to follow up with a gastroenterologist.

I'm 26years old, I have H-pylori which resulted to ulcer. I have been on medication for weeks now. Now recently I have this lower abdomen back pain, ankle discomfort and foamy urine. Am worried and I want to know what could be causing it. What should i do ?

Male | 26years

Lower back pain, ankle discomfort, and foamy urine might be linked to various factors, including hydration levels or kidney function. While medication for H. pylori is essential for your ulcer, any new symptoms should be monitored closely. Ensuring you stay well-hydrated and maintain a balanced diet is crucial. However, I recommend reaching out to a gastroenterologist to discuss these changes. They can perform necessary evaluations to ensure everything is on track and provide you with personalized guidance.

Since few day I felt gas in my stomach. And today I don't know why but I get frequent urge to poop. In total till now i went for 5 times. The last I went my poop was red in colour and semi-solid(say as jelly).

Male | 21

The sensation of gas in the stomach and the frequent feeling of having to move the bowels are symptoms that can be caused due to several reasons. Defecation of red, jelly-like poop may indicate a bleed in your digestive system. This might be the result of the food you have consumed, the infection you might have, or it is the sign of a disease. It is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for proper treatment.
