Swallowed a Coin Without Symptoms: Should I See a Doctor?
I have swallowed a coin but I have no symptoms of vomiting breathing or swallowing issues or any kind of abdominal pain should I consult a doc then also
Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
This can be a life threatening issue. If you have accidentally ingested a coin even if there are no symptoms, it is recommended to a doctor. The location and position of the coin can be detected by conducting an X-ray. Therefore, a visit to the gastroenterologist is recommended for further evaluation and treatment.

I have fecal and urinal incontinence (frequent and severe accidents during the day/night). I have tried to wear pull up diapers but they are not very effective in my case. What would you recommend or suggest?
Male | 21
Fecal and urinary incontinence can be caused by muscle weakness, nerve damage, or certain medical conditions. Instead of using pull-up diapers, consult a gastroenterologist to see if medications, pelvic floor exercises, or surgery may help. The right treatment can reduce symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Hey .I got my gallbladder removed onthe 3rd October 2022 but I still get pains on right side .I'm always bloated what is scaring me Is i feel like my muscles or nerves are stiff and always in pains.what could cause more unexplainable complications after gallbladder removal and should be done .I go to the doctor they give me ulcer medd and pain blocks
Female | 32
Having lingering discomfort after gallbladder removal isn't unusual. However, ongoing right-side pain might indicate complications. You could potentially be dealing with post-cholecystectomy syndrome. This condition sometimes occurs due to affected bile ducts or digestive troubles. Consulting your gastroenterologist is crucial for relief. Additional tests or medications may be recommended to manage persistent symptoms. Take care!

Stomach and chest size increased after bathing and eating too much heavy food.I noticed when I bathing my chest size increases even exercises increases chest size. But when I don't put water on chest my and I do exercises my chest decrease and look into good shape bathing is opposite.
Male | 23
Bloating in your tummy and chest area might be happening due to eating lots of heavy food can cause. Your chest and stomach may seem bigger from bloating. The water from bathing could also make your chest look different for a bit. Eat smaller meals, stay away from heavy foods, and drink enough water. Doing some light exercises can also help reduce bloating.

Male | 19
As you said, the recurring stomach ache, lower abdomen pain, dizziness, vomiting, fever, eye pain, and hypergeusia could stand for various things. These symptoms may be related to your digestive system's issues or infections. The most appropriate action is to go to a gastroenterologist. They can make a thorough checkup, maybe do some tests, and prescribe you the right medicine to help you get back to normal.

Female | 39
Pain starting in the middle of the chest and then extending to the person's back is a possible symptom of either acid reflux or heartburn. When there is an increase in swelling and at the same time intense pain, the possibility of inflammation in the digestive system cannot be ruled out. Eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy dishes, and sitting up after meals are some non-pharmacological measures largely recommended for acid reflux. Consult a Gastroenterologist for personal therapy when no result is seen after medication use.

I have been prescribed Famotidine and sucralfate for gerd And i have to take it twice a day can i take them at the same time in the morning and then at the same time in the afternoon or
Female | 27
GERD, an issue with stomach acid going up the food pipe, leads to heartburn and indigestion. Your doctor ordered Famotidine and sucralfate to ease symptoms. Take them each morning and night. Famotidine reduces acid production, while sucralfate creates a protective coating inside your stomach. Following instructions carefully will help manage discomfort. Famotidine decreases acid levels. Sucralfate forms a barrier to shield against irritation. Together, they can provide relief for your condition.

Hello, I have been experiencing large amounts of blood in faeces when I use the toilet and some pain for the last two weeks. I think it is linked to drug and alcohol use, as I'm only 23 but have been abusing several pills (sometimes 30 a day, ibuprofen/codeine) and drinking a lot for around 3 years now on and off. I have also developed mouth sores on the corner of my lips for no apparent reason and I think this may be related. Do you know what this could be?
Male | 23
Blood and pain when using the toilet indicate problems inside your body. Those mouth sores reveal that something is wrong with your health. These issues likely stem from drug or alcohol abuse. Your liver, stomach, and even immune system could be damaged. Getting help from a gastroenterologist immediately is vital.

Sir mujhe cronic pancreatitis he or mujhe agna 25000 prescribe ki he..... Aaj lunch time par khate huye lene ki vajah se 2 medicine galti se leli to ab kya karu?..
Male | 18
You've made a mistake - took 2 Agna 25000 tablets instead of 1. This is dangerous. Taking too much can cause side effects like stomach pain, nausea, and dizziness. Since Agna 25000 treats pancreatitis, overdosing can harm you. Contact a gastroenterologist or go to the hospital right away. They'll guide you on what to do next.

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.

I am 24 years old, i have symptoms of severe stomach pain, bloating, blood in stool sometimes, none in the last days, dierrhea, whatever i eat causes pain, I went to a gastroentrologist, he sent me for some tests, the results are helicobacter pylori - 0.19, calprotectin - 8.2 and no blood in stool. What could that be? I have an appointment with a gynecologist the next week.
Female | 24
If the patient has the symptoms you have mentioned, along with the results of Helicobacter pylori 019 and high calprotectin, the patient needs to see a gastroenterologist for more diagnosis and treatment. These signs could be suggestive of diseases, like gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, or inflammatory disease bowels.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out confusion and frustration. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.Sometimes diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion My doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) along with Amixide h(chlorodizapoxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain fade away.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just take those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. Can you guys help me to correctly understand the disease and ways to overcome it.
Male | 29
It seems that this disease has reached you without any diagnostic problem, and it turns out to be IBS.
The doctor associated with the management of your symptoms and provision of relief is putting you on medication which includes Librax (Clinidiumchlorobenzodioxide) and Amixide H (chlorobenzodioxide amitriptyline). This particular type of drug worked effectively in relieving you from the pain just like it had no existence at all.
It is necessary to emphasize that IBS can be long-term and would probably demand long-term therapy. You are advised by your doctor to follow the instructions as they have been given and take all the medications that have been prescribed to you as directed. Close visits with the gastroenterologist are vital to achieving progress and controlling the treatment by your doctor.
If you had GAD in your earlier years, you need to make some lifestyle modifications since it can affect your gut health. On the one hand, Lexapro withdrawal caused intestinal ulcers because your gastroenterologist instructed me to stop using it, but on the other hand, it was necessary to prevent ulcers.

Female | 46
You may be suffering from a condition known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome which is also known as IBS. Symptoms of IBS can be stomach discomfort, cramping, spasms, and altered bowel habits. These symptoms may be prompted by stress, specific foods, or hormone fluctuations. To help with IBS, eat fewer meals, avoid trigger foods, drink water, and manage stress through relaxation techniques or exercise. Consult with a gastroenterologist to get personalized advice on managing your symptoms.

Male | 28
Among the causes of this, we can underscore the problem areas of hard stools, being affected by swollen, and infection issues. In addition to the swelling, you might also notice pain, itching, or bleeding. To reduce the swelling, you can eat more fibrous food, drink lots of water, and apply the ointments. You should consult a gastroenterologist if the swelling does not go away or gets worse.

Ulcerative colitis flare up or stomach bug?
Female | 18
Sometimes flare-ups of ulcerative colitis and stomach bugs show the same symptoms, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramps. However, a stomach bug is usually a short-lived infection that may disappear on its own while ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition that needs medical intervention. Visit a gastroenterologist who can effectively make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

Male | 38
You may have some signs of indigestion, which is the result of gastritis when your stomach is having a difficult time digesting food. This may occur when you are eating fast or spicy food, which causes this. The chest shivering and sweaty sensation may be connected with your stomach feeling uncomfortable. Please try to eat less and don't keep away from spicy food.

I have stomach pain and visit doctor and take medicine but I can't feel better
Female | 23
Different things such as indigestion, gastritis, or infections can cause stomach pains. When you go back to your doctor this time you let the doctor know that what they gave you last time did not work. The doctor might need to run more tests so they can find out what’s happening and give you something that’ll make you feel better.

Stomach pain upper stomach heart below
Female | 19
This kind of pain can be caused by things like indigestion, ulcers, or acid reflux. You need to take notice of your other possible symptoms such as bloating or nausea. It is possible however that the doctors prescribe you medication to help with the side effects due to the bacterial infections, adding natural products as a secondary instance to relieve you of this ailment. You may find that eating smaller meals and steering clear of spicy or greasy food causes discomfort, and eventually, it may disappear. If the pain is still there, then you should see a gastroenterologist.
