Why is my bowel movement infrequent and incomplete?
I am 34 years old male, I am not happy with my bowel movement lately. It can go for 2-3 days or just a small poop comes out. I took laxatives last night (7hrs ago) and still nothing. What could be the problem?

Answered on 28th Aug '24
The absence of stool for several days or the production of only a little stool can be a sign of constipation. Constipation has many reasons like not eating enough fiber, not drinking enough water, and not exercising. Laxatives may work for you, but if your problem continues, try drinking more water, eating fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables, and exercising more. If the problem persists, it's better to consult a gastroenterologist for more help.

I have been pooping for about 2 weeks, yellow and sludge like stool. As soon as I eat, I feel the urge to poop. This started after I ate canned food from the store which was spicy. I previously know my stomach does not allow for spicy food without negative reaction, but this feels extreme. I had iron deficiency before, I took tablets and it normalised. My scalp hair growth has slowed, losing weight. I have not added a lot of vegetables to my diet.
Male | 27
You possibly have gastritis, an inflamed stomach lining. Eating spicy or canned foods worsens it. Yellow, sludge-like stools signal this condition. Frequent urges to poop after meals are common symptoms. Iron deficiency may be linked to it as well. Try cutting spicy foods, eating more veggies, and drinking lots of water. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues persist.

So my bowel movements have been delayed. And lately I could be feeling normal and doing fine then all of a sudden my stomach will have this huge cramp so I would hurry to the bathroom and I would only pass very little. But after I pass it I feel fine again. It keeps happening over and over.

Acute stomach pain 1 days pain and pain area are in right side below diaphragm
Male | Aman Raj
It appears you are experiencing a pain in your stomach on the right side under the ribs. This might have appeared because of the trouble with your gallbladder, appendix, or muscle strain. Periodically digestion issues or gases can be a reason for this kind of pain. To get over it, consume light foods, drink water, and avoid fatty or spicy foods. If the pain intensifies or doesn't vanish, it is a must to see a gastroenterologist.

Hi sir I am Amresh Jha 25 years old I am unable to weight gain I took cancellation a gestroloist he did endoscopy fir celic I have no symptoms but doctor confirm celiac deses endoscopy biopsy final report is atrophic mucosa i want to know what's means atrophic mucosa and I have a doubt I eat gutkha also it's a gluten issue or gutkha also effect small instentine
Male | 25
The "atrophic mucosa" means the lining of your gut is unhealthy. Eating gutkha can hurt your gut, but it does not relate to gluten. With celiac disease, you may have diarrhea, weight loss, and feel tired. The fix is following a strict no-gluten diet. This means avoiding foods with wheat, barley, and rye. By doing this, your gut can heal up and you will feel better overall.

Male | 66
This type of pain may be felt in this body area due to reasons like the digestive system, bladder, or muscles that are causing the pain. As the medication you had failed, the better thing to do is to visit a gastroenterologist. They may ask you to have other tests like an ultrasound scan to find out the definite cause of your pain.

You're dealing with diarrhea, intense belly pain, feeling weak, and no appetite for a week. That's rough! It might be a stomach bug or food poisoning causing these issues. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of fluids. Stick to plain foods like toast and rice. But if it persists, consult your gastroenterologist right away.

It seems that you have a stomach bug. This condition is often accompanied by nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. It is caused by viruses or bacteria that invade and reside in your digestive system. Drink a lot of water and rest in order to stay hydrated. Eat soft foods like toast, rice, and bananas. If the symptoms persists consult a gastroenterologist.

Male | 23
Feeling queasy after taking medicine can be tough. Meds sometimes cause side effects like no appetite, nausea, or tummy ache. They can bother your stomach lining. Eat tiny bland meals and pause between bites. Ginger tea may help calm things too. If worried about meds, let your doctor know. They can guide what's best.

I am having bubbly pee and itching in whole body since a long time. I also have piles
Female | 45
You could be having a urinary tract infection as a result of a bubbly pee effect and an allergic reaction where your body is itching all over. The piles too might be a reason for some pain. Drinking plenty of water to water down the infection then using creams for anti-itch to your skin. To relieve the piles, try including fiber in your diet, and do not cut the effort when you go to the bathroom. If the symptoms are persistent or worsen, you should visit a gastroenterologist.

Male | 42
Mold on bread could have caused a bad reaction. Some toxins mold produces may make you feel dizzy, impacting blood pressure. These toxins constrict arteries, risking hypertensive crisis. See a gateroenterologist quickly if symptoms don't improve.

Male | 44
You're probably going through an infection. Your doctor is probably targeting different kinds of bacteria using azithromycin 500 mg in the morning and Flagyl 400 mg at night. Do not stop taking the medications even if you start feeling better. Prolong the treatment to ensure complete eradication of the infection. If you have any concerns or notice any unusual side effects, it's important to let your doctor know.

Male | 18
Experiencing persistent thin stools for several months can be concerning. This issue may arise from various factors, including dietary changes, stress, or gastrointestinal conditions. It’s essential to pay attention to any additional symptoms such as pain, weight loss, or changes in appetite. Incorporating a balanced diet rich in fiber, staying hydrated, and managing stress can be beneficial. However, due to the duration of your symptoms, I encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. Professional advice will ensure you receive appropriate care tailored to your needs.

Bad stool passing since a week with minor stomach pain 4to 5 time a day
Male | 35
The bad stool passing and stomach pain 4 to 5 times a day may be the result of a tummy bug or infection. When the germs enter your tummy and cause upset, this situation can arise. Drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and eating simple foods like rice and toast are the most important things to do. Rest is also a necessary condition to help your tummy become better. Try to stay away from spicy or greasy food. If the problem continues, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist.

I have been facing abdominal pain from past 3 to 4 days . It usually goes away itself . Pain is mild but when i press my belly it hurts and this pain is move around the whole abdominal
Female | 22
The feeling of discomfort in the abdomen is normal. Small pains that shift their position may be caused by many things like gas, indigestion, or a little muscle strain. It is good news that the pain is going down without treatment, but if you have lasting and intense symptoms, it is better to go to a doctor. Observe a food diary and write down what you were doing when you first noticed you were on it. Being hydrated and using a heating pad might help you in getting better soon. Nonetheless, a healthcare provider should be your first option for a gasteroenterologist, especially if the pain gets worse or persists for longer than a week.

A stomach issue seems the problem. Motions not leaving with treatment, and returning after days, could mean a bug or food poisoning. They bring stomach pain, loose motions, and puking. Drink lots of water for hydration. Eat bland food. If there's no improvement, see a gastroenterologist.

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.
