Flat-side bowel movements & hemorrhoids

I have recently noticed that my bowel movements have shown a flat side. No bleeding. I have had these hemorrhoids for at least 6 months. Some days they're almost nonexistent. Some days they pop out of the anus and feel annoying, but they hardly ever hurt in any way. It is hard to tell, but there are some days where the stool looks completely normal. No flat side that I can see. I had a colonoscopy (at 39 yrs old) 2+ years ago. A polyp was removed and 3 hemorrhoids were banded. I am very healthy. I am 2 years sober, high protein diet, strength training, active job, don't smoke, and do everything with health in mind. I take sertraline for anxiety and a few supplements. I am scheduled to see my Dr in a month. My anxiety always makes me think it's the worst! Google searches tell me that hemorrhoids won't likely change the stool shape. I am in need of answers please!

This can result from dietary change­s or minor intestinal troubles. Hemorrhoids rare­ly cause flat stools. As a recent colonoscopy was done­, serious worries are unlike­ly. Maintaining healthy habits is wise. It's advisable to inform a doctor about this during the­ upcoming appointment for accurate guidance.

she’s been having pain and symptoms for months , she went to see a doctor once and they gave her medication for her acid reflux but as soon as the time period of using it was over it would come right back, it’s been like this for months and she just gets worse, she’s lost so much weight in so little months and I’m so scared

Visit a gastroenterologist regarding acid reflux of your friend. In case if the symptoms are persistent with the use of over-the-counter medication, then visit a specialist. The loss of weight without any reason is also an alarm symptom which needs to be looked at urgently.

Need better meds for stomach cramps and bloating also intestine churning

Male | 42

Stomach cramps, bloating, and the feeling of your intestines churning can be caused by several things, such as eating too quickly, too much fatty foods, or stress. To help with this, you can try taking antacids or gas relief tablets which are available over-the-counter. Drinking some peppermint or ginger tea may also be beneficial for you. Avoiding the consumption of carbonated drinks and the habit of chewing gum can help.

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.

My mother us 69 years old qnd she has diagnosed malignant rectal polyp. Next what we want to do?

Female | 69

Your mother has a dange­rous growth in her rectum. This is known as a malignant rectal polyp. Ble­eding from the rectum may occur. Bowe­l habits could also change significantly. She may expe­rience abdominal pain. The cause­s can be genetic factors or he­r diet. Treating it involves surgical re­moval of the polyp. Alternatively, radiation the­rapy kills cancerous cells. Consult her he­althcare team to dete­rmine the best tre­atment path.

My is vomiting blood big, blood clots

Male | 40

Throwing up blood clots is concerning. It could me­an an ulcer or esophagus tear. Watch for black stool, dizzine­ss, and stomach aches. Act immediately and go to the hospital now. Your well-be­ing is vital, don't delay getting checke­d. Tests can identify the right cause so the treatment can begin as soon as possible.

Female | 21

You've got an upset stomach from that Aciclovir dispersible­ tablet you took. Tummy aches and weakne­ss can happen with that medicine. It might be­ irritating your belly. Try eating before­ taking it to avoid this issue. Drinking lots of water can also help soothe­ things. But, if the problem persists, de­finitely let your doctor know about it.

My father is having problem stomach gas and consitpation from many years he drink and eat everything tlwhich can keep his stomach good but it is of no use and he has also taken medicine but still the problem goes on can you tell what can help him

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.
