Can pelvic floor rehab help my post-surgery GI issues?
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss my ongoing gastrointestinal issues that have persisted despite my recent surgery for chronic constipation and rectal prolapse. I underwent a laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy, but I am still experiencing significant problems related to anal hypotension and hypocontractility, as well as prolonged Balloon Expulsion Test (BET) results indicative of Type 1 Dyssynergia. Despite the surgical intervention, I continue to struggle with inadequate anal sphincter tone and a reduced ability to contract effectively. These issues have led to ongoing difficulties with bowel control and frequent episodes of constipation. The prolonged BET results suggest that my pelvic floor muscles are still not coordinating properly during bowel movements. Given my history and the current symptoms, I would greatly appreciate your expertise in identifying the next steps for management. Specifically, I am interested in exploring options such as pelvic floor rehabilitation, biofeedback therapy, or any further diagnostic evaluations that may be necessary to address these issues effectively. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance on how we can best proceed to improve my condition.

These issues might be due to problems with the pelvic floor muscles not functioning properly during bowel movements. Pelvic floor rehabilitation could help by improving muscle coordination and strength in the pelvic area, potentially aiding in better bowel control. Another option is biofeedback therapy, which uses sensors to teach you how to coordinate your muscles during bowel movements. Discuss these options with your medical team to find the best approach for you. Additional diagnostic tests might be needed to understand the situation better.

Considering you father's medical history of diabetes and past gastritis, its important to seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. The doctor may recommend tests to determine the underlying cause, such as GERD or gastritis.

I am 33 years old. I have constipation, loss of apoetite and sleeplessness.
Male | 33
Bowel disorders like constipation, lower appetite, and sleep disturbances come to your attention, and it is very natural for you to feel worried. Environmental stress, dietary changes, or any other underlying health issues could result in these ailments. One of the measures to overcome chronic constipation is the use of high fiber foods in your regular diet, drinking enough water, and being active in exercise. Where the issue of healthy appetite is concerned and better sleep is considered, the setting up of a regular daily program in combination with the practice of some kind of relaxation techniques to cope with stress can be the key. Still, if these manifestations are prolonged, I would advise you on making an appointment with a specialist who will carry out a full analysis and give you personal suggestions. Your health is crucial, and obtaining constant help from a physician may be the right way.

My mother of age 64 has problem in breathing while swallowing saliva ,eating spicy foods,etc and also sometimes for the smell of chillies while frying.what should we do as a first aid at that moment of time?
Female | 64
This could be because of a condition called dysphagia, which is the difficulty in passing food down the throat. She could opt for taking in smaller sizes and try her best to keep away from hot foods. Water is also another good option. In case the condition persists, she should visit a gastroenterologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 17
You're going through a tough time with those stomach pains, which you think might be constipation. Constipation can cause belly aches, nausea, and the urge to pass gas without relief. It's important to drink plenty of water, eat fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, and do some exercise to help your body function better. If the pain continues or worsens, don't hesitate to consult a gastroenterologist for advice.

Female | 14
Stress or certain foods may cause stomach issues. Try tracking what you eat to pinpoint problem foods. Relaxation techniques like deep breaths, meditation, or gentle exercise could help reduce stress. Eat smaller meals more often, and drink plenty of fluids. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, consult a gastroenterologist.

Accidentally drank half cup floor cleaner
Female | 21
Drinking floor cleaner is super risky because it isn't made for our bodies. It can burn your mouth, throat, and tummy. You could feel sick, struggle to breathe, or even pass out. It's crucial to get help quickly by phoning poison control or heading to the hospital. Don't delay, getting treatment sooner improves your odds of feeling alright later.

Male | 23
The health pill you took made your stomach upset resulting in a lot of gas and food not going down. It may be a side effect of the pill. The best thing to do right now is to discontinue using it and concentrate on mild, easily digestible foods such as crackers, rice, or bananas. Make sure you take a lot of water to keep yourself hydrated. If the condition persists or worsens, seek medical advice from a gastroenterologist.

I also have had medicines i.e. Nexium and Lesuride but it only gives relief for some time and then same issue. Please suggest.

You may be experiencing symptoms related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). These conditions can cause discomfort like chest bloating, irritation in the chest area after eating, and difficulty lying down due to regurgitation of food. It's important to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. They can recommend lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and possibly other medications or treatments tailored to your specific condition. Regular follow-ups with your specialist will help in managing and improving your symptoms effectively.

I am 31 years old.i have lower back pain and lower right side abdominal pain.i poop 3-4 times a day.and I have sharp pain in right side breast nipples and armpit itching.these symptoms are not happening together.but sometimes some pain and other time different pain
Female | 31
Pain in the lower back and the lower right side of the abdomen can sometimes be caused by digestive disorders. There are also chances of pooping more often which may be due to diet or stress. The sharp pain in your right breast, the nipples, and the itchy armpits could be due to skin irritation. Water drinking, healthy food consumption, and loose clothing can be treatment options. If the symptoms do not disappear, it is essential to consult a gastroenterologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 19
Stomach ache following a meal or beverage may result from many reasons. It could be from indigestion, gastritis, or even a stomach infection. The drug you took might not have been immediately effective. Consume lots of water and use only soft foods such as toast or rice. If the pain continues or intensifies, seeing a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment is imperative.

I have sharp pain in my lower left stomach
Female | 19
That sharp pain in the lower left side of your tummy could be diverticulitis. It happens when the pouches lining your colon become inflamed or infected. Symptoms include pain, bloating, fever, and bathroom troubles. To help, drink plenty of water, eat foods high in fiber, and avoid nuts and seeds. But if the pain is severe or doesn’t go away, see a gastroenterologist immediately, as this condition requires medical attention.

hello doctor, i’ve recently came down with a fever and a headache in the past few days that has been resolved now. but i have a new set of symptoms, whenever i am stood up i cannot stop belching/burping. this does not happen when i am lying down, however, my stomach and abdomen rumble a lot when i’m lying down. my only other symptom is constipation
Male | 15
The symptoms you are showing, such as wheezing standing up, a rumble in the stomach while lying down, and constipation, could be a sign of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). This can be produced by stress, certain meals, or even hormonal shifts. Maintaining a food diary and doing deep breathing exercises may help you relax. It's also important to drink water and consume a diet rich in fiber which will help constipation. If your symptoms persist, do not hesitate to contact a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and guidance. Take care!

Constipation means less number of bowel movements or finding of it difficult to do so. This can happen due to the lack of fiber and water in the diet. You did a good job with spinach, veggies, and apple. You can also try giving her more water and whole grains along with her meals.

i am having black hard stool after every two days ..and it causes pain in my anal area
Female | 26
When you're having trouble pooping, it could be constipation. Your poop is dark and dry. Pooping is painful. This happens if your poop is moving too slowly through your body. You may not be drinking enough liquid. Or eating enough fiber. Drink more water. Eat fruits and veggies to help soften your poop. Talk to a gastroenterologist if this problem continues after trying to fix it yourself.

I m feeling stomach burning
Female | 39
Stomach troubles seem to be bothering you. A burning sensation indicates stomach acid straying where it shouldn't. Spicy foods or stress can cause this. Drinking water sometimes soothes the issue. Eating smaller meals and avoiding spicy foods may provide relief. However, if the burning persists or becomes painful, consulting a gastroenterologist is advisable.

Couldn't eat anything coz of gastritis and I'm only taking avocado juice for almost a month. I feel fatigue and have headaches with dizziness.
Female | 29
Gastritis can make eating hard, and having avocado juice isn't giving your body all it needs. Symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and dizziness can happen when you lack essential nutrients. To feel better, try eating small, gentle meals. Foods such as oatmeal, bananas, or toast can be friendly to your stomach. Rest and stay hydrated as well.
