Considering you father's medical history of diabetes and past gastritis, its important to seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. The doctor may recommend tests to determine the underlying cause, such as GERD or gastritis.
Apart from medications lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, weight management, and stress reduction techniques can also help alot..

I done blood test and anti-hbs is positive what does it mean?
Male | 24
If your blood test shows that anti-HBs is positive, it means that you have antibodies against the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). This result indicates that you are either immune to hepatitis B or have been successfully vaccinated against the virus.

Sir my promblem is feeling incomplete Bowles and sometimes pain burning in stomach so I went near gastro department they suggest me colonoscopy and endoscopy Total reports is normal doctor said me that You have ibs .. is ibs is permanent curable? What foods should I avoid.is excercise is good ibs?
Male | 29
Dealing with not feeling all empty after going to the bathroom and tummy troubles, I get it. Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS for short, commonly brings these issues. It's a lasting condition needing ongoing care. Cutting out things that trigger it like dairy, spicy eats, and caffeinated drinks might provide relief. Staying active regularly also helps manage symptoms. Don't forget to drink plenty of fluids and de-stress, as these can worsen IBS.

I have fatty liver and my gamma is 150U/I and i have fever from about 6 days i am suffering from pain in stomach and tummy and now my stool color is green what should i do ?
Male | 32
You have informed me that your high gamma level together with the fatty liver, fever, stomach pain, and green stool color can be a sign of a liver-related issue. This could be a result of a malfunctioning liver. The best approach is to have plenty of rest, consume ample water, and avoid spicy or fatty foods. See a gastroenterologist as soon as possible for further evaluation and treatment.

I am suffering from bad taste of mouth since long and constipation also
Male | 24
You may be experiencing an unpleasant bad taste in your mouth along with constipation, often related to digestive issues. Poor oral hygiene or acid reflux can cause a bad taste, while a lack of fiber or water intake commonly leads to constipation. Try drinking more water, eating fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, and brushing your teeth regularly. If these changes don’t improve your symptoms, consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance.

I m suffering from fissure in anus
Male | 40
You may have a fissure in your anus which could hurt a lot and make you uncomfortable. A fissure is like a tiny cut on the skin around your bottom. It is caused by passing hard stool, running stomach, or diseases like Crohn`s disease. Symptoms may include pain when passing stool and sometimes even bleeding. To alleviate these symptoms, try taking more fiber in your diet, drinking enough water daily, and applying creams to soothe the affected area.

I am 19 years old female,and i am suffering with stomach pain ,its not continuous it mainly occurs after eating or drinking i used metronidazole tab yesterday, but no relief is seen ,this pain started from yesterday morning
Female | 19
Stomach ache following a meal or beverage may result from many reasons. It could be from indigestion, gastritis, or even a stomach infection. The drug you took might not have been immediately effective. Consume lots of water and use only soft foods such as toast or rice. If the pain continues or intensifies, seeing a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment is imperative.

If your daughter has had loose motions for 10 days, it's essential to consult a pediatrician immediately. The medication may need adjustment, and the pediatrician can guide you on proper nutrition and hydration for your baby.

The infection fixed but my intestines are now destroyed. The rectum encounters occasional pain (stabbing like) after using the toilet and the stool is covered in mucus. The stool color is dark red/ brown. No diarrhea. Heart pain that radiates to the left arm, probably under reactive inflammatory context. No tachycardia. Do I have to start 250mg vancomycin hydrochloride PO each 6 hours for 7 days? All the doctors in my city are saying that this antibiotic is only for diarrhea people. What should I do? I'm also nauseous. Took fluconazole 3 weeks then itraconazole 3 weeks in winter, no help, just probably made the situation worse. Today WBC 11.9. Anti-streptolysin, sedimentation rate & reactive C protein are normal. Abdominal tomography displayed inflamed lymph nodes around aorta (reactive inflammatory context). What would you do if you were me? Not currently taking any medication/ having any known condition.
Male | 29
Your symptoms seem worrying. The dark red or brown stool mixed with mucus and rectal pain points to issues in your intestines. Additionally, heart pain and a high white blood cell count raise concerns. Vancomycin usually treats bacterial infections, not these symptoms. It's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate you properly based on your test results and medical history.

Male | 46
You have been under the weather for a long time. The symptoms you mentioned (such as constipation, loose motions, stomach pain, and passing stool with mucus) are typical of irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. These can be caused by a combination of diet, stress, and gut health. The first step is visiting a gastroenterologist who will determine if you have any of these diseases as well as a proper course of action for you. At the same time, making lifestyle choices, coping with stress, and consuming a balanced diet can also reduce the severity of your symptoms.

I woke up to a weird feeling in my chest and whenever I do fast or intense activity for example jump or run I feel something go up to my throat and make me cough it doesn’t hurt just a little weird
Male | 18
Your symptoms could be of acid reflux or the more severe form called the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Acid reflux can be defined as the condition where the liquid in the stomach drains back into the throat area, causing a burning sensation in the chest and throat. I recommend you to see a gastroentroogist who will help you to diagnose your condition and propose the proper treatment.

I m 40 years old. I m suffering from fissure in anus. It gives me pain
Male | 40
Fissures are little rips in the skin around the anus. Passing hard stools, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease can cause them. To heal the fissure, drink plenty of water, eat foods high in fiber, and use stool softeners. You might need creams or ointments too so that it does not hurt as much and heals faster.

Sometimes, taking esomeprazole and domperidone together may lead to headaches, dizziness, or abdominal discomfort. Carefully following your doctor's guidance is crucial. Inform them promptly if any new or worsening symptoms arise. Take medications precisely on schedule. Don't hesitate to contact your gastroenterologist should concerns arise.

I had fissure last week, took some medicine from a nearby doctor, now moved to a different place. No pain but feels like some swelling down side , kind of external hemorrhoids.
Male | 25
They are the veins around the anus that have become deformed due to too much blood being trapped inside. They are caused by straining during bowel movements (sitting for a long time) or recognizing weight. You may try drinking lots of water, eating high-fiber foods, not straining when going to the bathroom, and relaxing your bowels when going to the bathroom. Exposing the area to warm compresses is one of the easiest solutions, however, you can also get good pain relief by using over-the-counter creams.

When preforming large deep enemas, I was curious if such an enema could flow into the appendix as well as the Ileum? If so would such a thing be harmful?
Female | 25
When performing large deep enemas, the fluid can potentially reach the ileum but is unlikely to flow into the appendix due to its narrow opening. However, doing this procedure at home can be risky. It is always best to consult a gastroenterologist to understand the safe practices and risks involved.
