Why is my stool light brown and floating?
I’ve been having light brown poo along with a type 6 on the Bristol stool chart for more than a week. My stool is also floating. Lastly for around the same time when I need to go to the toilet it’s a matter of urgency when it’s never been like that in my whole life. And another thing is that when I have done a poo I feel like I need to go again as I don’t feel I have emptied it completely

Your bowel movements may have altered. Light brown floating poop and sudden urges to go could occur. Not feeling empty after pooping may happen too. Diet shifts, infections, and digestive problems could cause this. Drink more water to help. Eat fiber-rich fruits and veggies. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues persist.

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.

Sir i have gall bladder stone before 3 years I feel the pain, now it's a silent stone. Will it get affect in future
Male | 35
Those stones have chances of causing sudden anguish or infection sometime later. When they begin bothering you again, you may experience upper belly or back pain. Removing your gall bladder through surgery is usually the go-to solution for getting rid of those stones. If you need more medical attention, visit a gastroenterologist.

I'm experiencing pain in lower right side of abdomen from 2-3 weeks. Today I was feeling nausea with pain for few minutes in a particular fixed pain area where pain everytime occurs.
Male | 25
You're feeling sick. That pain in your belly may be appendicitis. Your appendix, a small sac, could be inflamed. Nausea, steady pain - those are warning signs. You need to see a gastroenterologist soon. Leaving appendicitis untreated is risky. If it's appendicitis, you'll likely need surgery. They'll remove your appendix to prevent complications.

I’ve had constipation for six months and I have been using dulcolax every week to help, however this week when I used my dose, I felt nauseous and didn’t feel my normal budge in stool. I suspect I have impacted stool or some sort of blockage. I tried 2 enemas however after using them (lying on my left, inserting it for 5 minutes and staying still) it didn’t work. My main question is If I’m having impacted stool should I take miralax powder , dulcolax pills, or suppositaries, or a third enema Or book a colonic treatment? thank you
Male | 17
If you feel sick after taking Dulcolax you may need to try a different method. When stool is impacted it means that the poo has become stuck and will not come out very easily. Use Miralax powder which can help to soften it. You can mix it with a drink and take it according to the instructions on the packet. Make sure you also drink lots of water. If there is no change when using Miralax then you should speak to a healthcare professional for further advice.

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.

Stomach ache since 2 days ant tlc count 11100 as per reports
Female | 28
Stomach aches are possible due to numerous causes. So when you have 11100 TLC, it indicates the possibility of a certain infection in your body that the immune system fights against, which makes your stomach ache. Be sure to consume enough liquids, and light foods, and sleep well. When the pain doesn't go away or worsen, go to a gastroenterologist for treatment.

My ALT test result was 347iu but apart from feeling extremely tired, not being able to sleep and constipation. My doctor didn’t seem worried and says he’ll repeat test in a month.
Female | 64
An ALT test checks your liver's enzyme level. A reading of 347iu could mean liver troubles. Extreme fatigue, insomnia, and constipation might signal liver issues. Your doctor wants another test next month to see if levels change. Meanwhile, eat healthy foods, avoid alcohol, and rest well. Follow up with your doctor about your liver health status.

I am 19 yrs old and today I got tiny lump in my butt hole and yesterday I get chicken rice and got lose motion today and this lump and its discomfort and pain little ..any serious issue are it's normal
Female | 19
These signs might be caused by an illness known as an anal fissure, which is influenced by constipation or diarrhea. Spicy or greasy dishes can make it even worse. You can soak in warm water and keep the area clean. Moreover, it will also be beneficial for you to drink lots of water and consume high-fiber foods to avoid getting constipated. In case the condition continues or becomes severe, visit a gastroenterologist.

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the digestive tract. It results from the immune system attacking the gut lining, causing inflammation and various symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. Complications include blockages, ulcers, and fistulas. Treatment involves medications, dietary changes, and sometimes surgery. Consult a gastroenterologist for a personalized treatment plan.

Male | 24
If your blood test shows that anti-HBs is positive, it means that you have antibodies against the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). This result indicates that you are either immune to hepatitis B or have been successfully vaccinated against the virus.

I am DEV from Delhi my age is 21 year old. I have stomache its kind a pain at touch never goes away from 2 months i got ct scan usg xray every report is normal i have gas problem i am so much in depression for my health kindly help me
Male | 21
Dealing with stomach troubles for two months can be tough, but the good news is that your tests are all clear! However, your ongoing pain and gas might still be caused by gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even anxiety. Gas buildup can make things uncomfortable, so it's a good idea to watch your diet—avoid gassy foods like beans, fizzy drinks, and dairy for now. Exercise can also help relieve gas discomfort. Don't forget to manage stress, as anxiety can worsen stomach issues. Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation. If these changes don't help, it's best to revisit your gastroenterologist.

You are experiencing some stomach upset and feeling sluggish as well. If you have had a fever, cold, dry cough, or/and muscle aches for the last fortnight or more, this might indicate gastroenteritis (stomach flu) or other viral infections. Rest, take fluids only in plenty, and eat simple easily digestible meals. If the condition persists or becomes severe seek medical attention without delay.

Stomach pain plus bloating can result from speed eating, gulping air, or too much food. Intestinal gas might cause this, too. It makes your tummy feel big and tight.

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.

My mother under went ultrasound scan of abdomen and Pelvis, Here are the findings Cholelithiasis with Gall Bladder Mass: The presence of multiple gallstones and a mass almost completely filling the gall bladder lumen requires further evaluation with a CECT abdomen. Possible Metastatic Lymph Node: The lesion near the porta hepatis could be a metastatic lymph node, warranting further clinical and lab correlation. Need to know what does that mean
Female | 50
Your mum may have gallstones and a growth in her gallbladder according to the results of the ultrasound. Gallstones can cause pain in the upper abdomen or back, nausea, and vomiting. The mass in the gallbladder needs further investigation so another scan should be done. Also, the possible lymph node near the liver area might need more testing to know what it is. Your mum needs to see her doctor again and talk about what to do next as well as the treatment options for these things.
