Q: Why colonoscopy is costly?

Colonoscopy can be costly for several reasons. One reason is that the procedure requires specialized equipment, such as a colonoscope, which can be expensive. Additionally, the procedure is typically performed by a specialist, such as a gastroenterologist, who may charge higher fees than a general practitioner. The cost may also include the cost of sedation or anesthesia during the procedure. Finally, the cost may also include the cost of any necessary follow-up care or treatment.

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. Also, this type of surgery can be performed with regional anesthesia, which is considered safer than general anesthesia during pregnancy.

I have had constant acid reflux for going on 2 years, every day - all day. I have taken ppi and other remedies but nothing seems to work and no doctor seems to take this serious. I need this to go away for good if possible. I honestly am so miserable, I can hardly eat or drink.

Male | 23

For chronic acid reflux that didn't respond to any treatment, it's important to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can recommend different medications and lifestyle modifications. If necessary, additional tests may be conducted to identify underlying factors. You may also try seeking a second opinion from a specialist..

My father is having treatment of hepatic abscess from 10 days through antibiotic today he has fever of 100 degree why. Last year in October he had an angioplasty

Male | 76

A fever of 100 degrees could mean the antibiotic is not working well against the infection in his liver. Having an angioplasty last year may also be responsible for him being more predisposed to infections. He might need a different antibiotic or more tests to find out if the abscess is not getting worse. For this reason, contacting a gastroenterologist for advice is essential.

Vaping at a young age can harm your body, leading to symptoms like sickness, shaking, and persistent stomach problems due to the chemicals in vapes. It's good that you've noticed a connection between vaping and your symptoms. Quitting vaping and smoking is the best choice for your health. Give your body time to heal, and focus on healthy habits like eating well, staying hydrated, and exercising. If your stomach problems continue, consult a gastroenterologist for advice.

Male | 29

Eating spicy food might likely be the reason behind the pain in your left abdomen, yet this pain might be caused by other reasons as well. This pain could be due to stomach problems or dysfunction of your organs. If you notice the pain is severe or lasts a long time, it's advisable to consult a gastroenterologist. In the meantime, you can try eating bland food and drinking a lot of water as a means to check if the pain subsides.

Consulting a doctor for testing and treatment is crucial. Maintaining a nutritious diet and stress management might also aid recovery. However, you should seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist promptly for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.

Swollen blood vessels, called haemorrhoids, might cause this. Constipation or diarrhea could also cause it. Drinking water, eating fiber-rich foods, and using medicated ointments may help. However, it is better to consult a gynecologist, as they would help identify the underlying issue and give you proper treatment plan

I have urine infection and stomach ulcer. I take urine culture it have e-coli infection. I have take antibiotics its not cured. Urine infection is related to stomach ulcer?

Female | 28

You have a urine infection caused by E. coli bacteria, along with a stomach ulcer. While these conditions aren’t directly related, they can be linked to poor hygiene or not drinking enough water. You may feel burning or pain while urinating due to the infection, and stomach pain from the ulcer. If antibiotics aren’t working for the infection, your doctor may prescribe a different one. You'll also need medication for the ulcer. Make sure to drink plenty of water and follow advice from a gastroenterologist to recover from both conditions.

Omeprazole decreases the bioavailability of Vyvanse by blocking its uptake.
For the GERD, it is recommended to see a gastroenterologist for its management and psychiatrist in case of prescribing Vyvanse.

I have difficulty in eating and drinking cuz whenever i eat, after a few bites I have difficulty in swallowing food like I feel tightness in chest and shortness of breath like I take deep breaths while eating and I fear while swallowing food as if it might block my trachea or I would choke. Last year, I gave my exams and during my exams I took too much stress and didnt eat anything (eating very little whole day or even just bites of food due to exam stress). After that, I encountered somehow same issue as I developed nausea which interfered with swallowing so I feared swallowing. This time, when I gave my exams, I am encountering the situation I told you. What can be this thing and what measures should I take?

Female | 24

You might have Globus pharyngeus, a condition stress or anxiety triggers. It makes swallowing hard, tightens chests, causes shortness of breath, and scares you while eating. Eat slowly in calm places, and breathe deeply. Relax through deep breathing exercises or meditation helps. Drinking lots of water with meals aids swallowing. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues continue.

Male | 16

You might be experiencing gas buildup in your belly, which can cause loud noises and a feeling of extra weight. The pain could also be related to issues with your belly button, and attempts to fix it might have made things worse. Gentle exercises and warm beverages can help move the gas out. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to consult a gastroenterologist for appropriate care.

Your body is trying to get rid of something bothering it, like a virus, bacteria, or food that didn't agree with you. To help, drink lots of liquids so you don't get dehydrated. Stick to bland stuff like toast or rice. If it doesn't improve after a couple of days, check with a gastroenterologist.

Female | 22

The signs you mentioned suggest you are experiencing gastric distress, which happens when the stomach can't process food properly. This often leads to gas buildup and causes discomfort. It's not related to a lack of vitamins. Try eating smaller portions, avoid spicy and oily foods, and chew your food slowly. Drinking a glass of warm water can also help you feel better.
