Q: What is the outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction treatment after gallbladder removal?

The outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can vary depending on the obstruction's cause, severity, and duration. Medication: In some cases, a bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can be treated with a combination of medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, to help relieve symptoms and clear the blockage. ERCP: In more severe cases, a procedure known as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be needed to remove the obstruction. Surgery: In specific cases, including cancerous growth, surgery may involve removal of the blocked section of the duct or, in severe cases, rerouting of the bile ducts through a procedure called a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Q: Is a blocked bile duct an emergency?

Bile duct blockage can cause life-threatening infections if not treated in time. Eventually, they can lead to chronic liver diseases like biliary cirrhosis.

Q: Is the procedure for removing gallbladder while pregnant safe?

Recent advancements in laparoscopic surgery have made the procedure less invasive and have a shorter recovery time, which can decrease the risk of complications for both the mother and the baby.

It seems like you are experiencing constipation. Constipation refers to the difficulty in having a bowel movement. It may happen to people who have an insufficient amount of fiber in their diet, drink less water, or are less active. Eat fruits and vegetables, drink a proper amount of water, and take a short walk. If the issue persists, the best step will be to have a conversation with a gastroenterologist who will give you some advice.

Male | 19

Since you've had stomach pain for several days, it's important to think about the different things that could be causing it. This pain may be caused by conditions such as indigestion, gastritis, or a stomach infection. Kidney stones are not usually the cause of pain in the stomach but in the lower back. Now, try to drink lots of water, eat light and easily digestible foods, and consider taking over-the-counter antacids to help with the stomach pain. If the pain doesn't go away or it gets worse, it's important to see a gastroenterologist for further checking and the right treatment.

Male | 42

Tummy wind and bowel blockage can be uncomfortable. This condition can also make people poop less regularly. It might happen because of not eating enough fiber, not drinking enough water, or lack of physical activity. Tell your father to eat high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Additionally, make sure he drinks plenty of water and stays active. Sometimes, medications can cause constipation, so consult the doctor to see if his medications might be the cause.

I am 19 and I had surgery 8 days ago and had to go on oxy. i’ve stopped taking it about 4 days ago. For the past 8 days i haven’t been able to poop. I have to go very bad but every time i do it’s too painful to pass and i have to suck it back up. i took 4 stool softeners yesterday and 1 the day before. I have to go really bad but i’m not sure what to do and i’m scared to because it hurts so bad

Female | 19

You’ve been struggling with constipation since your surgery and taking painkillers. Pain medication can slow things down in your body which causes constipation. I’m glad you took stool softeners but also try drinking more water, eating lots of fibre such as fruit and vegetables, or doing a little bit more exercise. If it doesn’t help, visit a gastroenterologist.

Continuous pain is something that must be closely on the lookout. The problem may be caused by various reasons such as stomach issues, infections, or even conditions related to your reproductive organs. The fact that the homeopathy you have tried, and pain relievers did not work is another reason you need to see a gastroenterologist. They can actually check on you and come up with the most suitable treatment for relief and the root cause of the pain will be dealt with.

I'm a 24-year-old guy and have been suffering from stomach issues for several years. To begin with, I should mention that before 2-3 years ago, I never had any problems of this kind. I remember vomiting only once or twice when I was a child. However, 2-3 years ago, after a bout of oyster poisoning, I started experiencing episodes of dyspepsia at least once a month, despite maintaining a generally healthy and balanced diet. Following the incident 2-3 years ago, I visited multiple gastroenterologists who examined me but never wanted to go beyond an ultrasound, which they always said looked fine. They concluded that the problem is functional. After discovering my lactose intolerance, I learned to avoid lactose, but unfortunately, I still feel unwell 1-2 times a week. It starts with a bit of diarrhea and then nausea, which I try to alleviate with Biochetasi and other products like baking soda and lemon, but I still go through tough hours. Tonight's episode was particularly severe, and I don't know how to resolve this!!

Male | 24

This happens when you get stressed, eat certain things (or have been infected by something). Keep an eye on what you’ve been eating about when these symptoms show up by writing them down in a food diary. Also, talk to a gastroenterologist about what else they could do to treat it or if there are any other dietary changes you should make that might help relieve some discomforts associated with this condition.

It looks like you damaged your gastric mucosa or, perhaps, you have a stomach ulcer. It is crucial to see a gastroenterologist as quickly as you can for the accurate root cause of your symptoms and the best treatment. In the interim, it would be wise to steer clear of foods that may irritate your stomach and drink a good amount of water to remain hydrated.

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.

You may feel something unusual in your bottom area. That's called rectal fullness. It happens when gas or stool builds up in your intestine. Your body thinks something is there, but it's not. Eat lots of fiber and drink water to help. If it doesn't go away or gets worse, see a gastroenterologist.

My sister have annal issue.. A tail like structure comes out partially. He is suffering from partial pain..

Female | 34

Anal fissures cause a tear in the anus lining. Bowel movements become painful. A small piece of tissue sticks out too. Keeping clean, eating fiber, drinking water prevents constipation. That helps a lot. Over-the-counter creams provide relief too. Your sister likely has an anal fissure condition. Symptoms match what you described. Proper care is important for healing. Fiber, water intake, and hygiene make a big difference. Medicated creams also ease discomfort and promote healing.
