Effects of Swallowing Small Rubber Band

If someone swallowed a small rubber band by mistake will it cause any issues

Dr. Samrat Jankar

Surgical Gastroenterologist

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.

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.

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.

I am a patient of rectal cancer with adenocarcinoma with cignet ring cell carcinoma, and got immunotherapy in ayurvedic through oral medications also got almost cured for three months. But again rectal bleeding and severe pain started and there is wound pist radiotherapy just at bottom inside layer of anus.

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.

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.

I eat something eaten by rat accidentally

Female | 15

In their mouths and saliva, rats carry dangerous germs. If you eat food that happened to be gnawed on by a rat, you might develop symptoms such as stomachache, vomiting, or diarrhea. Ensure that you take plenty of water to keep yourself well-hydrated then look out for any serious signs like high fever. Just in case they occur, visit a doctor who will evaluate your condition further.

I am diabetic since 10 years, recently my sugar level got high and i visited doctor he changed my medicine, and suggested me to change diet and morning walk which i did,this morning i came from morning walk had my breakfast but i vommited,

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.

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.
