Answered on 23rd May '24

You may likely catch the stomach virus if you are in close contact with your father and brother who had gastroenteritis. Better to be on the safer side to ensure that activities like hand washing, drying utensils, and disinfecting common surfaces are done. When you suffer from symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, see a gastroenterologist.

When saftypin stay in my stomch since 2 years what's happened

Male | 22

Carrying a safety pin in your stomach for 2 long years can result in dangerous situations. You may get a tummy ache, feel like you are going to throw up, or actually, throw up. The pin can cause a tear in the lining of your stomach and be the reason for the infection. It is important to have it done through surgery. If the pin stays there it can cause other problems. A doctor must be seen immediately to get help.

Low grade Appendiceal reuinous neoplasm

Female | 50

The term low-grade appendiceal neoplasm refers to abnormal tissue in the appendix. If you have one, it will be stealthy at times, although you may feel pain in the lower right side of your tummy, nausea, or changes in your stool. However, the underlying cause is not always clear. It entails surgery to evacuate the appendix if the infected part is operable. The follow-up examinations are quite significant and must be done to supervise the condition.

Infections or certain medical conditions are the possible causes of diarrhea. When you are already taking rifaximin and still not feeling better, it is crucial to communicate again with your doctor. They can go for more examinations or try other methods to cope with your situation.

Hello my name is Mohammad my mom died from colon cancer and my aunt father side died from lung cancer and recently I am having black ( I mean like really black) poop I haven’t had any iron supplements and I’m not having abdominal pain but I lost a lot of weight in 2-3 months I hardly ever go to ???? and when I go I have very stiff black poop I don’t have eagerness for food and I was very very harmed mentally for my moms lost that I almost had days taking 1.5 kg of ambient (15*10tablets*10gr) I am also studying dentistry so if you speak in medical terms I would probably understand.

Male | 23

Do not underestimate how black stool points to possible internal bleeding of your digestive system, nor your symptoms of losing weight and having no appetite. This points to the start of a severe health issue that would be more likely benign than malignant. Besides, it's best to go through the colon and intestine diagnostics first as well as some other medical tests.

I am 19 years old … I see blood in my stool … started 2020 I took enterogermina 2020,then December 2021 took tinizol and doxycycline 2021 and I was given Clarthrime and Bonso pile tablet January 2024 but a doctor changed it and told me to take ciprotab instead but today I happened to see blood again I am constipated , I take milk a lot , and I always have bad cramps so I take ibuprofen every month but not more than 2 a month

Female | 19

I recommend seeking medical attention from a gastroenterologist to properly evaluate the cause of the bleeding and develop a treatment plan. Not recommended to self-treat without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to antibiotic resistance and may not address the issue. Additionally taking ibuprofen frequently for menstrual cramps can also lead to gastrointestinal problems.

Can I eat onions and black pepper in h pylori

Male | 38

If you possess the H. pylori infection, some signs can be stomach aches, bloating, nausea etc. These symptoms are likely to get worse if you take onions or black pepper since they may irritate the lining of your stomach. It would therefore be advisable for one to temporarily keep off such foods until they undergo treatment for this condition. In order to reduce distress while being treated for H. pylori, it is recommended that you take a mild diet comprising foods that do not cause any harm to your stomach.

What will happen to my body I am on strike for 24 days not eating food and just take 2 sips of cold water twice a day?

If you don't consume food for a month and only take sips of plain water not very often, your body is going to be very weak. There could be lightheadedness when competent thinking and muscles can even become smaller. In addition to being harmful to your organs, this also can be a matter of life and death. Eat properly to remain healthy. Try to take tiny portions of food and drink water many times in the day.
