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.

I have been suffering from blaoting and constipation from past 1 to 2 years. When I bloats white sticky substance comes out . I don't know whether I am suffering from ibs or what. The reason was that I was not drinking water from 7 to 8 months. Pls help me doctor
Male | 16
You might have bloating and constipation, which are common symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The white sticky stuff might be mucus, a condition that comes with IBS. Failure to drink enough water can worsen these signs. It is advisable to take more water, eat foods with high fiber content, and avoid triggers such as spicy or fatty foods. Moreover, stress management is crucial alongside regular exercise. Should they persist seek further diagnosis and advice from a gastroenterologist.

My boyfriend had, what I suspect to be, Norovirus 8 days ago. He had diarrhea for about 18 to 22 hours, and he only had one bout of vomiting, which he believes was due to the Mountain Dew he drank on an upset stomach. Since its been 8 days since his symptoms have stopped, would it be safe to engage in close contact activities like kissing again?
Male | 23
Norovirus is a bug. It can make your stomach feel bad. After it goes away, wait a bit before kissing. This makes sure it is all gone. 8 days since his last symptoms are good. But wait longer to be safe. Washing hands well stops the spread.

How is hep c spread? If I used a stick n poke needle with no blood
Female | 19
Transmission of hepatitis C may involve contact with infected blood and/or sharps such as needles. Even if the needle does not have any water therein, the stick and pokes use can still result in viral infections. It will be good to see a hepatologist or a gastroenterologist if you have reason to think your chances of Hepatitis C are high.

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
Female | 17
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.

Iam 23 year old.The jackfruit comes out undigested in the stool in the same form
Female | 23
If it seems that your system is not processing jackfruit properly which shows up whole when you use the bathroom, this could mean you’re not digesting it well. If you can’t break down the fruit like you should, it may pass through your body undigested. To fix this try chewing thoroughly before swallowing or only eating small amounts at a time until you know how much is safe for you. If these steps don’t help or if there’s any pain consult with a gastroenterologist for further assistance.

Treatment of recurrent intussusception in the roux of a roux-en-Y in a 33 years old female, 2.5 years after gastric bypass, causing severe abdominal pain and melena.
Female | 33
One section of the intestine can slide inside another part, similar to a closing telescope. Severe pain and bleeding from bowel movement happens with this condition. It rarely happens in grown-ups, except after weight-loss surgery. Timely medical help from a gastroenterologist can prevent major complications happening from delaying treatment.

Male | 25
It sounds like you’re experiencing pain and stiffness on the left side of your abdomen. These symptoms can be caused by many things, such as gas, constipation, or even muscle strain. To relieve the pain, try drinking lots of water, eating high-fiber foods, and avoiding gassy foods. If the pain doesn’t go away or gets worse, make sure to see a gastroenterologist.

My mom .Drunked hydrogen peroxide by mistake
Female | 50
This cleaner contains a strong chemical. If you accidentally drink it, it causes stomach pain, nausea, and breathing troubles. You should quickly drink lots of water. The water dilutes the hydrogen peroxide. Then immediately visit a hospital. They have treatments to remove it.

I have been suffering from digestive issues and stomach disorders for about a month. I feel like it takes long for my stomach to digest food. I feel hungry but I can't eat because of this issue. If I do, I'll get acid reflux and other symptoms.
Male | 20
Gastritis makes the stomach lining inflamed. Slow digestion, lack of appetite, and acid reflux occur. Stress, spicy foods, and medications cause it. Eat small meals frequently. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Stay hydrated. Manage stress through breathing or meditation. See a gastroenterologist if symptoms don't improve.

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.

Should I go to the er if I am feeling a intense pressure on my lower abdomen and am throwing up
Female | 17
If due to more pressure on the lower abdomen and vomiting, you are experiencing the symptom, that could be a sign of the underlying medical condition. Seeing a gastroenterologist or visiting a hospital emergency room for a complete assessment is the best thing to do.

Female | 27
You are dealing with high cholesterol, liver enzymes, elevated eosinophils, and hemoglobin. Abdominal and back pain can be related to various conditions, and it's important to address them promptly. Please consult a gastroenterologist for your abdominal pain and liver concerns, and a hematologist for your blood results. They will provide a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment plan.

Hi my girlfriend is having periods since the day before yesterday today morning she felt pain in her stomach particularly on the left side also accompanied by swelling we are suspecting it to be stomach infection but aren't sure about it yet
Female | 20
Your girlfriend might be experiencing acute appendicitis. Symptoms of this are sudden stomach pain on the lower right side with swelling. Appendicitis is when the appendix gets inflamed. If you think this is the case, you need to go to the hospital straight away because surgery is usually the only way to get rid of the inflamed appendix and avoid complications.

Hey, I am a 22-year-old boy, and I have stomach pain. I feel dizzy due to this; I have a vision issue. Since yesterday, when I go to the washroom to pee, when I pass the urine, it's got a dark yellow colour in it. It is not normal, and please suggest the best you can.
Male | 22
Having inflammation in the abdomen, dizziness, unclear or distorted vision, and the fact that the urine is darker shade of yellow than usual might point to something. Make an effort to drink more water. In addition to this, you can consume simple and dry meals, as well as, avoid coffee, tea, and alcoholic drinks. If no improvement is experienced, then visit a doctor for a check-up.

You might be having a dyspepsia, which is a disorder that often affects the upper part of your digestive system. Symptoms may range from bloating, gas, and nausea to abdominal pain and discontent. I suggest you go to a gastroenterologist to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

when I laydown to sleep i get an excruciating pain in my stomach and it feels like im paralyzed and cant breath and going to pass out
Male | 34
A stomach ulcer seems likely. Ulcers are painful stomach sores. Spicy foods and stress worsen them. Eat bland foods. Relax via deep breaths, gentle exercises. Seek medical help if pain persists. Ulcers require proper treatment. Avoiding care risks complications. Small changes promote healing. Visit a gastroenterologist, so they can review your diet, and prescribe medication. Ulcers can heal with proper management.

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.
