I have been experiencing pain through my entire abdomen for the past two days, it is dull, it comes and goes, there is a little bit of bloating and a slight change in stool, any ideas what could it be?

Female | 34

Pain in entire ABDOMEN,, dull,,, bloating,,, change in stool.. These symptoms suggest gastrointestinal DISTRESS.. It could be anything from gas to indigestion.. However, if the PAIN is severe or accompanied by vomiting or fever,, it could indicate a more serious condition like appendicitis or pancreatitis.. It's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment..

Hi. I'm a 19 year old female and I have been having problems with my indigestion system as a whole for a long time now. It started with having really bad heart burns along with my burp tasting yeast like I started having piles that became worse over time, bleeding really bad then I had to watch what I eat so they don't become worse. I still have them but they don't bleed anymore, just sometimes depending on what I ate or other factors. Then ever morning when I wake up I have this burning sensation in my stomach, everyday, it's hurts very much, then I have it through out the day sometimes, making it uncomfortable for me. Then lately my stomach has been painful, burning, there's just a lot going on. I have been using Eno but the difference isn't that much, my stomach just burns and hurts. It's starting my affect my life because it's something that it happening to me lot and I'm unable to go about my daily routine sometimes because of consist heartburns, camps, burning stomach and piles that just won't go away. Thank you.

You have the symptoms of acidity and chest burning sometimes, as well as a cough. These signs are possible indicators of acid reflux. Eating a lot of spicy or oily food may cause this. You can start to avoid such foods and eat smaller meals more frequently. Drinking lots of water can also be beneficial. Vitamin supplements may not help this directly, but eating a balanced diet can enhance your general health.

What happens when you eat food after a fly was on it

Female | 42

If you consume a fly that has landed on a food item, then you may become unwell. Flies are the source of growth factors (germs) that can cause you to get sick. In the aftermath of eating contaminated food, you may encounter stomachache, vomiting, and diarrhea. For recovery, you should drink adequate water, take some time off, and not eat more of the same food.

Can you please tell me if anything on my ultrasound would indicate liver problems or anything else of concern? EXAMINATION: ABD COMP ULTRASOUND CLINICAL HISTORY: Pancreatitis , chronic. Increased pain right upper quadrant. TECHNIQUE: 2D and color Doppler imaging of the abdomen is performed. COMPARISON STUDY: None FINDINGS: The pancreas is obscured by bowel gas. Proximal aorta is also not well seen. Mid to distal aorta is grossly normal in caliber. The IVC is patent at the level of the liver. The liver measures 15.9 cm in length with coarse echotexture and loss of architecture definition consistent with infiltrative change, nonspecific. No focal geographic abnormality identified. Hepatopetal flow in the portal vein noted. The gallbladder is normally distended with no gallstones, gallbladder wall thickening or pericholecystic fluid. Can not exclude a small amount of dependent sludge. The common bile duct measures less than 2 mm in diameter. The right kidney demonstrates normal corticomedullary differentiation. No obstructive uropathy. The right kidney is 10.6 cm in length with normal color flow. Left kidney is 10.5 cm in length with normal corticomedullary differentiation and no evidence of obstruction. The spleen is fairly homogeneous. IMPRESSION: Limited evaluation of the pancreas and proximal aorta due to bowel gas. No obvious free fluid, correlation needed, consider CT with IV contrast if additional assessment warranted. Subtle gallbladder sludge suspected. No acute cholecystitis.

Male | 39

Based on the ultrasound findings, the report mentions some observations, but it also notes limitations due to bowel gas obscuring the pancreas and proximal aorta. No focal abnormalities or gallbladder issues are identified, although a small amount of dependent sludge cannot be completely ruled out. The kidneys and spleen appear normal.Further evaluation and correlation are recommended, such as a CT scan with IV contrast, if needed. No acute cholecystitis or obvious free fluid is noted. Also make sure to consult your doctor for a comprehensive assessment and interpretation of the results.

no, for now, I want to test the toilet because when I go to defecate, I collect dirty things like yellow phlegm. Now I don't know what the problem is and I also have diarrhea

Male | 34

It seems that you have the stomach flu. The yellow phlegm might be a result of the mucus from your stomach coming up while you are straining to pass stool. Also, diarrhea can be caused by a stomach bug. Staying hydrated is what you need to do by drinking plenty of water. Keep eating bland food until your body gets better like rice and toast. Rest and let your body have the time to heal. If symptoms do not resolve, go for medical assistance.
