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.

Female | 20

It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of discomfort with your stomach and head, along with fever and frequent motions. This could be due to a chronic stomach infection or another gastrointestinal issue. Visit a gastroenterologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hi there, I'm currently only 19 years old and have previously had occasional heartburn. However, the past 2 weeks I have noticed i have been getting it more frequently. For example last night my heartburn kept waking me up throughout the night. but right now I'm experiencing heartburn and tingling/pins and needles in my hands

Female | 19

You might have acid reflux causing heartburn and tingling hands. Acid reflux happens when stomach acid goes up your food pipe. That causes a burning feeling, called heartburn. Tingling hands could mean irritated nerves. To help, eat smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, don't lie down after eating. See a gastroenterologist if it doesn't get better.

Hi doc i have been recebtly diagnosed for having gallstones but now im itching uncontrollably and i have dark urine is that of concern?

Female | 26

Feeling an intense itch and noticing dark-colored urine raises red flags if you have gallstones. The dark urine likely stems from bile flow blockage in the liver. Meanwhile, the persistent itching sensation may result from bile salts seeping into your skin. These distressing symptoms could signal underlying issues with your liver or bile ducts. It's crucial to promptly seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.

Iam 38 year old male iam consuming ibrufen 400 mg ofloxacin 200 mg amlodine 5 mg shall I take alcohol after how many hours of gap

Male | 38

Avoiding the interaction of alcohol with these medications is essential. The risk of a stomach bleed and low blood pressure can be amplified by alcohol when taken with ibuprofen and amlodipine, whilst dizziness and drowsiness can worsen with ofloxacin and alcohol. It is wiser to refrain from alcohol for at least 24 hours after your last dose to ensure there are no harmful interactions.

I am 32 year old mate who has had stomach pain on his lower left side of his stomach for around a year. My stools the last few weeks are like a yellow colour and not very solid. I’ve had a colonoscopy done and come back fine

Male | 32

You have been dealing with a lower left-sided bellyache near your stomach for a year now. If you've also noticed yellow, pasty stools, it could be a sign of an underlying issue. Even if your colonoscopy results were normal, it’s important to talk to your doctor about these new symptoms. The cause might be related to your pancreas or liver. Make sure to inform a gastroenterologist about all your symptoms so they can provide the proper evaluation and treatment.

I am 24 year old women and have abdominal pain for last 1 week, I have used pain relief medicines, now I have used homeopathy medicine for couple of days but haven't got any relief, what should I do?

Female | 24

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.

Weight gain does not simply rely on medications. A balanced diet that contains a good amount of proteins and carbohydrates, plus regular physical activity can aid you to gain weight healthily. A nutritionist or dietician will help develop a suitable nutrition plan for your health status and your body type. If you have any difficulty related to weight gain, then going to an endocrinologist or gastroenterologist will help you find the hidden cause of the problem and receive proper treatment.

Having a inflammation while passing stool , i had a loos motion like 2-3 weeks back and since than facing inflammation nd burning sensation near anus area now while passing stool .

Male | 30

An anal fissure means there's a tear near your anus. It happens when you have hard, difficult bowel movements. Or it can occur with diarrhea. This will cause pain and burning when you use the bathroom. Eating foods with fiber helps make your stool softer and easier to pass. Drinking lots of water is good too. Warm baths can soothe the irritated area around your anus. If symptoms don't improve soon, see your gastroenterologist.

I have been having discomfort in my right lower abdomen for 3 weeks. When it started, I woke up with abdominal pain and went to breakfast, but during it I could barely keep from throwing up. All that day I felt a little nauseous and my stomach hurt on sudden movements (also my stomach made noises). The next day the pain became more constant and intensified. I could not straighten up without pain in my lower abdomen. That day I went to the doctor with a suspicion of appendicitis. I was palpated, but was told that it was not clear exactly and told to come back the next day. The next day the pain was less, the doctor palpated me again and I had an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed that I had an enlarged kidney bowl and lymph nodes. I was admitted to the hospital but did not know which department (first they wanted to put me in urology but in the end they put me in the infectious diseases department for some reason). Also, the blood tests when I first came to the hospital had elevated white blood cells. I was discharged after 2 days and have been home for 3 weeks now (I have been on a diet and drinking 1.5 litres of water a day not counting tea) but the discomfort in my right lower abdomen sometimes returns

Male | 14

Your symptoms could be caused by various factors. Although appendicitis was initially suspected, your diagnosis seems unclear. The enlarged kidney and lymph nodes seen in the ultrasound could suggest urinary or infection-related issues. With your ongoing discomfort, it's advisable to follow up with your gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Male | 30

The symptoms you're describing, like heartburn, acid reflux, bloating, and mucus in your stool, could be due to a stomach infection or eating foods that don't agree with your body. Spicy and fatty foods can worsen these symptoms. It's a good idea to eat slowly, avoid foods that trigger your symptoms, and stay hydrated with water. If the symptoms continue, it's important to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Female | 17

You may have acid reflux. This is when the stomach contents come back up into your throat and cause a burning sensation as well as coughing. It may also make you feel sick to your stomach or give you chest pains. You should avoid eating large meals, such as spicy or fatty foods. Moreover, you shouldn’t lie down immediately after eating. Drinking lots of water helps too. If none of these work, visit a gastroenterologist.
