My father complaining from food sticking in esophagus I have ct scan findings . CT Scan Chest Abdomen & Pelvis CE: PROTOCOL CT scan shows axial images of 5mm slices obtained from level of diaphragm up to the lower border of symphysis. pubis with I/V contrast. Reporting was done at the work station. CHEST FINDINGS: Multiple tiny ground glass nodules are seen in bilateral lower lobes predominantly on right. A small calcified nodule is noted in right upper lobe in peripheral sub pleural location likely old calcified granuloma.

Your father is suffering from some sort of food stuck in his esophagus. A CT scan that your father had done shows that he suffers from esophageal adenocarcinoma, which is a kind of cancer located in the esophagus. Such conditions can lead to difficulties in swallowing, chest pain, and losing weight. The treatment options may consist of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Communicating with his gastroenterologist is the best way for you to arrive at an effective plan.

Hi im divine, a 16 yrs old girl, recently I've been having pain at the lower left side of my stomach and it's hurts a lot. The pain comes and goes. What illness are they symptoms of?
Female | 16
Your tummy hurt on the bottom-left side could mean you have diverticulitis. Little pouches in your colon swell up. Pain, bloaty feeling, and hot temps come along. A diet full of fiber, lots of water, and some meds can make it better. But go see a gastroenterologist first to find out for sure and get the right care.

Having pain in lower stomach
Female | 33
Pain in your lower stomach can be a trouble. As an example of several reasons for such pain are gas, constipation, and in the case of women, periods. Sometimes, infections in the bladder or bowels can also lead to this pain. For constipation, drinking water and eating fiber-rich food may help you, or even a warm bath for period pain. If the pain persists or worsens, inform a gynecologist so they can assist you in feeling better.

It seems that your stomach pain is your problem. A sufferer may potentially show the symptoms of diseases like gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Seeking the opinion of a gastroenterologist for the right diagnosis and treatment is important.

I will be having gall bladder operation but because of high blood sugar my operation is being delayed...my general physician gave me insulin...thus my blood sugar level decreased however my sugar level again increased...so please can you recommend me a diet chart and other measures to be taken.
Male | 52
My advice would be to see a registered dietician, who could develop an individualized nutrition plan based on your needs and high blood sugar levels. Moreover, you should adhere to the doctor's directions about insulin dosage and timing as well as accurately measure your blood sugar level. In case of any doubts concerning your gall bladder surgery, consult a gastroenterologist

I am having loose motion and chest pain and sometimes fever is coming also having pain in some joints like my knee, ankle, and elbow. All these symptoms have been coming since 26th May, and pain in joints its happened sometimes for the last 4 years.
Male | 22
Your symptoms indicate infectious diseases such as virus attack; it may be arthritis too. Additionally, the recurrent joint aches you have had over 4 years should not be overlooked without proper medical attention from a professional health care provider. More importantly, one can take fluids and have enough rest but above everything else they should be thoroughly examined by a gastroenterologist for treatment.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out confusion and frustration. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.Sometimes diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion My doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) along with Amixide h(chlorodizapoxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain fade away.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just take those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. Can you guys help me to correctly understand the disease and ways to overcome it.
Male | 29
It seems that this disease has reached you without any diagnostic problem, and it turns out to be IBS.
The doctor associated with the management of your symptoms and provision of relief is putting you on medication which includes Librax (Clinidiumchlorobenzodioxide) and Amixide H (chlorobenzodioxide amitriptyline). This particular type of drug worked effectively in relieving you from the pain just like it had no existence at all.
It is necessary to emphasize that IBS can be long-term and would probably demand long-term therapy. You are advised by your doctor to follow the instructions as they have been given and take all the medications that have been prescribed to you as directed. Close visits with the gastroenterologist are vital to achieving progress and controlling the treatment by your doctor.
If you had GAD in your earlier years, you need to make some lifestyle modifications since it can affect your gut health. On the one hand, Lexapro withdrawal caused intestinal ulcers because your gastroenterologist instructed me to stop using it, but on the other hand, it was necessary to prevent ulcers.

huge pain in lower abdomen..
Female | 16
Feeling a burning or cramping sensation in your lower abdomen is unpleasant and can be symptomatic of a variety of conditions. It is possible that the cause of such pain could be indigestion, gas, constipation, a menorrhea. Try drinking more water, eating food high in fiber, and taking an over-the-counter pain reliever, If it continues or becomes worse, though, don't slough it off on your own. You should take an appointment with a gastroenterologist to ensure that treatment is not delayed.

Hi I have amaebiosis history which was cured by ayurveda bt i wasn't able to follow all the rules so it was never fully cured though. I still have issues n it's for last 8 years. I hv constant gases whole day and pain in my left side in stomach. M scared to visit doctors i hope i don't hv to do surgery or any painful process. What should I do.
Female | 26
You seem to have persistent tummy troubles. Frequent gas and aches on your left side could point to digestive problems. Your past amebiasis might be contributing too. Understandably, you want to avoid surgery. To feel better, try eating smaller portions, steering clear of spicy cuisine, and drinking plenty of fluids. But it's also wise to speak with a gastroenterologist about other potential remedies.

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.

Some causes of constipation are a low-fiber diet, dehydration, sedentary lifestyle, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions. Increase your water and fiber intake, regular exercise, and maintain a healthy diet.

I am a teenage female. Late last night my stomach started to hurt and throughout the night it got progressively worse. The pain is in the upper right abdomen and it radiates towards the top middle too. I’ve taken Advil but it won’t go away. What should I do?
Female | 15
You might have an issue with your gallbladder on the information I have got. It is in the upper right side of the stomach. The area on your right hip with either an inflamed or stone gallbladder might give you severe pain that will sometimes get worse and affect the upper portions of your body. Pain-healing medications like Advil will not be very effective for this type of situation. Consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and examination to get a cure for your condition.

I have been pooping for about 2 weeks, yellow and sludge like stool. As soon as I eat, I feel the urge to poop. This started after I ate canned food from the store which was spicy. I previously know my stomach does not allow for spicy food without negative reaction, but this feels extreme. I had iron deficiency before, I took tablets and it normalised. My scalp hair growth has slowed, losing weight. I have not added a lot of vegetables to my diet.
Male | 27
You possibly have gastritis, an inflamed stomach lining. Eating spicy or canned foods worsens it. Yellow, sludge-like stools signal this condition. Frequent urges to poop after meals are common symptoms. Iron deficiency may be linked to it as well. Try cutting spicy foods, eating more veggies, and drinking lots of water. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues persist.

i drank too luch alcohol but am fine now but am concerned
Male | 21
Alcohol can harm people and be sometimes dangerous because drinking too much will make your body spin. If you drank too much but are now okay, that's good news. But, sometimes too much drinking can cause things like a spinning mind, nausea, and feeling sick. Don't forget to drink water, take a break, and eat healthy foods to help your body recover.

Stomach pain for upper side left after 6 hr later
Female | 16
You mentioned stomach pain on your upper left side started six hours back. This could result from various factors: gas, indigestion, or mild infection. Wolfing down food or certain edibles might trigger it too. Try resting, drinking lots of water, avoid spicy/heavy meals. However, if discomfort persists or worsens, promptly seek medical advice.

Male | 29
You may be having acid reflux. Stomach acid goes up your food pipe bringing irritation and pain. Thus, the muscle between the stomach and the food pipe weakens, which may cause this to happen. Do not eat large meals, avoid eating any spicy foods, and do not stay upright for a long time. If the pain is still present, visit a gastroenterologist.
