If you're feeling heaviness on the left side of your tummy, it could be due to gas, constipation, or even stress. Eating too fast can also cause this discomfort. Try eating slowly, drinking water, and moving around. If the discomfort persists or worsens, it's best to consult a gastroenterologist for further advice.

im 20 years old male , I've had bloating and constipation along with nausea for the past two weeks , my stomach is emptying very slowly, I also have pain in my abdomen and chest area. i cannot drink too much water or eat a heavy meal or i will end up vomiting

Male | 20

The symptoms you are describing might be the ones associated with gastritis. It is the state that the lining of your stomach is intimate. If you eat too much spicy or greasy food, or if you are stressed, this can be the case. To help yourself feel better, you should eat smaller, bland meals, and drink water throughout the day. Consuming caffeine and alcohol is good to avoid.

I'm getting a pain in my lower abdomen that sometimes goes around to my back giving me sudden urges to use the bathroom and also leaving a strange taste in my mouth

Male | 38

There's a possibility that could be due to urinary tract infection, kidney stones, gastrointestinal issues, or reproductive system disorders. Consult a gynecologist for evaluation.

I have an episode of watery diarrhea for 5 days Stool analysis showed only mucus, with no parasites and 0-1 WBC's. I have had my last colonoscopy in September 2023, and it was clear from any lesion, inflammatory bowel disease symptoms or any other clinically significant finding. In 2020 I also had another colonoscopy with some specimens to check for microscopic colitis but the specimens were negative. I need to know what is wrong with me and what is the reason for this diarrhea. Blood test showed no Anemia (apart from my Thalassemia minor) , liver enzymes are normal, lactate dehydrogenase normal, CRP and ESR are normal. I need help . .

A positive result from your last two colonoscopies, showing no inflammation or IBD, is reassuring. Mucus in your stool might be due to irritation. Diarrhea can result from various causes, including infection, certain foods, or stress. Since your test results aren't alarming, try drinking lots of fluids, sticking to a soft diet, and letting your gut rest. If the diarrhea persists, consult your doctor for medical advice.

I was very young around 2 years old when I was diagnosed with inguinal hernia then when I was 6 and half I had a surgery and after sometime hernia reoccurred since then I am living with inguinal hernia size of testicles is enlarged and my penis is short like that of kid

Male | 18

A condition like inguinal he­rnia happens when intestine­ bulges through a weak spot near your tummy. It cause­s pain, swelling, or a lump by your groin. Surgery fixes it some­times. But if hernia returns afte­r surgery, discuss treatment options with your doctor. Enlarge­d testicle and shorter pe­nis might relate to hernia. So, me­ntion these concerns to your he­althcare provider for further solutions.

Sir I have been suffering from blaoting and constipation . I have probelm in intestine also as I always feel full I think constipated. When I bloats white sticky substance comes out . The reason was that I was not much aware of drinking water and was not drinking water from 7 to 8 months. I have been suffering from this problem from 1 to 2 years pls help me doctor

Male | 16

Not drinking enough water can lead to such problems. Make sure to drink lots of water and eat foods high in fiber such as fruits and vegetables. Also, try being more active – this can help your bowels move properly. Increasing your fluid intake, consuming more dietary roughage, and keeping on the go. Remember it’s always best to seek medical advice if things don’t improve.

I was wondering what to do about my medical situation: I’ve been experiencing few weeks: -Anal discomfort from constipation -bowel leakage - anal itchiness for a due to Background: I had a loop colostomy put in the descending colon but what it seems To me is that some stool bypassed the colostomy and got to the area in the rectum that is damaged, and so its just staying inside the rectum, I can’t seem to have a bowel movement because of the damage in that area and I can’t seem to get it out. because of having the colostomy, I know there isn’t a serious problem like a blockage. but I’m feeling really uncomfortable due to the the leakages and itchiness at the anal area. From past experience Enemas and laxatives and suppositories haven’t been helpful with my constipation. What can I do?

Female | 27

It seems that you have encountered some abnormal complications related to your colostomy or you are constipated. Your anal discomfort and the smell and itchiness are occurring due to the feces that have collected in the damaged area in your rectum. That can occur when the stool makes an unplanned detour. In view of the fact that classical treatments such as enemas and laxatives are of no help; it is time to speak to your care provider for other possible options, like diet modification, stool softeners, or special procedures.

Hello my name is Mohammad my mom died from colon cancer and my aunt father side died from lung cancer and recently I am having black ( I mean like really black) poop I haven’t had any iron supplements and I’m not having abdominal pain but I lost a lot of weight in 2-3 months I hardly ever go to ???? and when I go I have very stiff black poop I don’t have eagerness for food and I was very very harmed mentally for my moms lost that I almost had days taking 1.5 kg of ambient (15*10tablets*10gr) I am also studying dentistry so if you speak in medical terms I would probably understand.

Male | 23

Do not underestimate how black stool points to possible internal bleeding of your digestive system, nor your symptoms of losing weight and having no appetite. This points to the start of a severe health issue that would be more likely benign than malignant. Besides, it's best to go through the colon and intestine diagnostics first as well as some other medical tests.

After pile­s surgery, swelling around the are­a is common. You may notice swelling, pain, and itching. The re­ason could be bleeding or infe­ction during or after surgery. Don't worry; just consult your doctor as soon as possible.
