Is esophageal adenocarcinoma causing food sticking issue?

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. Enlarged calcified mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes are seen largest one measuring 1.4 cm in location. No evidence of pleural effusion seen on either side. Extensive atherosclerotic calcifications are seen in aorta and its branches. Imaged portions of heart appear unremarkable ABDOMEN AND PELVIS FINDINGS: The distal third of esophagus shows asymmetric increased circumferential wall thickening involving about 4.2cm of distal esophagus extending to the gastroesophageal junction, causing luminal narrowing. It is showing enhancement on post contrast images. The fat planes around the esophagus are preserved and there is no evidence of invasion into adjacent structures. A few (2 lymph nodes) prominent lymph nodes are seen in the distal peri esophageal location largest one measuring 7.3mm. Liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen appear unremarkable. Multiple fluid density cysts of variable sizes are seen in both kidneys; largest one in left kidney measure 2.6 x 2.3 cm in left upper pole and 1.2 x 1.2 cm in in right inter polar region. Both adrenal glands appear unremarkable. ■No significant ascites or lymphadenopathy noted. Imaged bowel structures appear unremarkable. Prostate and urinary bladder appear unremarkable. Imaged sections through bones and spine appear unremarkable. No evidence of definite lytic or sclerotic lesion noted. IMPRESSION: Status: Biopsy proven case of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Findings as detailed above are of asymmetric increased wall thickening involving about 4.2cm of distal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction, causing luminal narrowing however no evidence of proximal obstruction noted. intact fat planes around the esophagus with no evidence of invasion into adjacent structures. Two prominent lymph nodes in peri esophageal region. Multiple tiny nodules of ground glass haze in bilateral lower lobes.... highly suspicious for lung metastasis from esophageal primary. No evidence of bony or hepatic metastasis in current scan. Needs clinical correlation.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
