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.

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.

I can't eat because of side effects of previous medicine
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.

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.

morning azithromycin 500 mg and night flagyl 400 can take
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.

Motions not curing after taking medicine stops motion and again after 5days starting motions
Female | 26
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.

Im wondering if Ulcerative Colitis can affect a man's sexual ability causing ED. Either that or is it possible for UC to cause low testosterone? Is this possible without me taking any medications?
Male | 28
A situation that inflames the colon, ulcerative colitis, can result in symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue. Even though inflammation and stress brought on by UC do not cause directly erectile dysfunction (ED) or low testosterone; they can have an impact on sexual health. The best way forward is to treat UC effectively while also finding ways of reducing stress.

Your father is suffering from some sort of food stuck in his esophagus. A CT scan that your father had done shows that he suffers from esophageal adenocarcinoma, which is a kind of cancer located in the esophagus. Such conditions can lead to difficulties in swallowing, chest pain, and losing weight. The treatment options may consist of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

Clopidogrel and Omeprazole may cause unwanted effects. You might sweat a lot. Getting the chills could happen. Dehydration is possible too. Chest pains may occur. Weakness and loss of appetite are common side effects of these drugs. To improve your condition, drink lots of water. Stay hydrated. Take it easy and rest. Eat small portions of light foods. If symptoms persist or intensify, contact a gastroenterologist immediately.
