Answered on 31st July '24
Swallowed a tiny rubber band? No need to worry! It usually passes through your body without any issues, and you might not even notice it. However, if you experience stomach pain, nausea, or difficulty passing stool, seek medical attention immediately, as it could indicate a blockage.

Ill-defined enhancing space occupying lesion approximately measuring 47 x 32 x 30 mm seen epicentered in the lumen of mid transverse colon. Mild fat stranding and subcentimetric lymph nodes are seen around the lesion. There is resultant dilatation of proximal large bowel loops and small bowel loops, measuring up to 6 cm in maximum calibre.
Female | 51
It seems like there is a worrying growth in your mid colon area. This growth is making the area swell up and push on your intestines. This can make them get bigger. It can also cause pain, bloating, and changes in how you poop. The best thing to do is to get more tests done. These tests will help figure out what is causing the growth. Then the right treatment can be decided.

Ive woken up with pain in the rib area in the upper abdomen and i think in lower back i got up and took a walk and the pain went away. 5 hours later i had black stool. I need to go to work in 3 hours should i call it of and seek immidiate checkup
Male | 24
Your pains and black stools sound concerning. Upper abdomen and back discomfort can signal gastritis or kidney issues. Black stools indicate internal bleeding, maybe stomach or intestines. You should see a gastroenterologist immediately, as this requires medical attention. For now, rest up, and don't strain yourself with heavy lifting.

There are various reasons why someone would get a stomachache like consuming too much and too quickly, having gas, or maybe the person might be suffering from a stomach virus. I would advise you to eat smaller portions of food, stay away from spicy foods, and drink as much water as possible. If the pain continues, please consult a gastroenterologist.

Can you please tell me if anything on my ultrasound would indicate liver problems or anything else of concern? EXAMINATION: ABD COMP ULTRASOUND CLINICAL HISTORY: Pancreatitis , chronic. Increased pain right upper quadrant. TECHNIQUE: 2D and color Doppler imaging of the abdomen is performed. COMPARISON STUDY: None FINDINGS: The pancreas is obscured by bowel gas. Proximal aorta is also not well seen. Mid to distal aorta is grossly normal in caliber. The IVC is patent at the level of the liver. The liver measures 15.9 cm in length with coarse echotexture and loss of architecture definition consistent with infiltrative change, nonspecific. No focal geographic abnormality identified. Hepatopetal flow in the portal vein noted. The gallbladder is normally distended with no gallstones, gallbladder wall thickening or pericholecystic fluid. Can not exclude a small amount of dependent sludge. The common bile duct measures less than 2 mm in diameter. The right kidney demonstrates normal corticomedullary differentiation. No obstructive uropathy. The right kidney is 10.6 cm in length with normal color flow. Left kidney is 10.5 cm in length with normal corticomedullary differentiation and no evidence of obstruction. The spleen is fairly homogeneous. IMPRESSION: Limited evaluation of the pancreas and proximal aorta due to bowel gas. No obvious free fluid, correlation needed, consider CT with IV contrast if additional assessment warranted. Subtle gallbladder sludge suspected. No acute cholecystitis.
Male | 39
Based on the ultrasound findings, the report mentions some observations, but it also notes limitations due to bowel gas obscuring the pancreas and proximal aorta. No focal abnormalities or gallbladder issues are identified, although a small amount of dependent sludge cannot be completely ruled out. The kidneys and spleen appear normal.Further evaluation and correlation are recommended, such as a CT scan with IV contrast, if needed. No acute cholecystitis or obvious free fluid is noted. Also make sure to consult your doctor for a comprehensive assessment and interpretation of the results.

Male | 33
It's possible that the wound from your radiotherapy treatment has not fully healed or that there may be other factors contributing to your symptoms. You should communicate openly with your doctor about your symptoms, concerns, and treatment history, as they will have the best understanding of your problems.

Female | 27
Feeling bloated after eating can happen sometimes. It might mean you ate too fast or didn't chew enough. Maybe certain foods upset your stomach. Try chewing slowly and drinking lots of water to help digest better. Stay away from foods that bother you. If it keeps happening, talk to a gastroenterologist about it.

"Good evening, doctor. My niece, born on July 30, 2024, has not had a proper bowel movement for six days. We previously experienced a similar issue on August 8th, waited three days, and consulted the doctor on August 11th. The prescribed Neopeptine medicine induced a bowel movement on August 12th. However, since then, she has only been urinating, with no further bowel movements. Additionally, we've noticed a white, creamy discharge in her genital area. Please advise on the next steps, doctor. Her weight remains at 2.543 kg
Female | 20 days
From the looks of it, she might be suffering from constipation, which is a condition when it is hard for the person to pass out stool. This may occur for different reasons such as dietary changes or lack of water intake. The white, creamy discharge may be the usual one, but it is best to be safe and keep an eye on it. To help her, try giving her water, fruits, and vegetables. If the problem persists, she might need to see her pediatrician for more advice.

I am 20 years old Whenever I defecate, I have a lot of pain in my anus and the pain lasts for 6-7 hours continuously. This has been happening to me for the last 1 month. I feel a wound inside the anus. Which cream should I apply to reduce the pain?
Male | 20
You may have a condition called an anal fissure. Anal fissures make small tears in the lining of the anus that can lead to pain and discomfort during bowel movements. For pain relief, you can use an OTC cream that has substances such as lidocaine or hydrocortisone over the area, and this will help to do it. Alongside using a medication, it is also important to make a couple of lifestyle changes such as the use of additional fiber in the diet and being hydrated which helps to ease stool and lessens straining during bowel movements. If the pain continues, see a gastroenterologist who will do a medical examination and prescribe the treatment.

Female | 57
You are overwhelmed and things are running out of fuel for you after your morning walk and breakfast. The causes of fever infection can be a variety of things, such as being sick to the stomach, eating poisoned food, or the blood sugar level being high. This may be due to your high sugar levels lately. Ensure that you will be alright drinking water and hydrating yourself and that eating smaller lighter meals is the right idea. If vomiting persists, it is better to contact your doctor for more instructions.

Female | 24
You may suffer from fecal impaction. It makes you constipated, vomiting, nauseated, with headaches. Fecal impaction is hard stool stuck in the colon. Drink lots of water, eat fiber-rich foods, and try OTC laxatives. If the condition doesn't improve, see a gastroenterologist for stronger treatment.

During intermittent fasting i have diarrhoea what should I eat when i break the fast
Male | 21
Ah, seems diarrhea has interrupted your intermittent fasting schedule. Diarrhea is frequent bowel movements, often caused by fasting's effects on digestion. When ending your fast, opt for gentle foods like bananas, plain rice, or toast. These soothe the stomach. Hydrate extensively with lots of water. If diarrhea persists, seek medical advice.
