Q: What is the outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction treatment after gallbladder removal?

The outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can vary depending on the obstruction's cause, severity, and duration. Medication: In some cases, a bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can be treated with a combination of medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, to help relieve symptoms and clear the blockage. ERCP: In more severe cases, a procedure known as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be needed to remove the obstruction. Surgery: In specific cases, including cancerous growth, surgery may involve removal of the blocked section of the duct or, in severe cases, rerouting of the bile ducts through a procedure called a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Q: Is a blocked bile duct an emergency?

Bile duct blockage can cause life-threatening infections if not treated in time. Eventually, they can lead to chronic liver diseases like biliary cirrhosis.

Q: Is the procedure for removing gallbladder while pregnant safe?

Recent advancements in laparoscopic surgery have made the procedure less invasive and have a shorter recovery time, which can decrease the risk of complications for both the mother and the baby. Also, this type of surgery can be performed with regional anesthesia, which is considered safer than general anesthesia during pregnancy.

I feel something breathing in my lower stomach

Female | 30

You feel a strange movement in your belly, and it's a bit frightening. However, it might be normal body processes occurring. Your intestines could be moving gases through them. Alternatively, muscles contracting can cause that sensation. Consuming meals quickly or certain foods can trigger this feeling. To find relief, try taking smaller bites, sipping water, and eating gentle foods like rice or bananas. Visit a gastroenterologist if the problem persists.

Discomfort and constriction in the rectum after recovery from an anal fissure can occur. This may result from muscle spasms or scarring. Try soaking in warm water, eating fiber-rich foods, and staying hydrated. Gentle exercises like walking can also help. Discuss with a gastroenterologist for more information if the pain persists.

The patient is 62 years old male. He has diabetes since 15 years and has CKD stage 4 since 1.5 years. His creatinine is 3.2 mg/dl. He is weak and unable to walk, so he remains in bed. He has frequent complaints of stomach ache, gas, cramps and sometimes loose motion too. He takes Rabeprazole or aciloc when required. Can you help with this problem?

Male | 62

Your diabetes and CKD are likely causing your stomach ache, gas, cramps, and loose motions. These digestive issues can occur if your blood sugar levels and kidney disease are not well controlled. It's important to properly manage your diabetes and CKD to prevent worsening stomach problems. Eating smaller, frequent meals, drinking enough water, and adding fiber-rich foods can help. Be sure to talk to your gastroenterologist for a proper evaluation and management of these symptoms.

Female | 19

These symptoms like heartburn, yeast-like burps, bleeding piles, stomach burning, and pain could be due to a condition called gastritis, which you're experiencing. Inflammation of the lining of the stomach is called gastritis, which can be caused by stress, some food, or bacterial infections. For these symptoms, try to stay away from spicy, acidic, and fatty foods. Eating smaller meals more often can be another way to normalize your metabolism. The best choice is to go to a gastroenterologist who provides the proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Having VAAFT for a high trans sphincteric fistula after perianal abscess drainage is usually safe around 4 to 6 weeks later. The body needs time to recover.

Why I have weightloss and irregular digestion?

Male | 25

You may have a viral fever accompanied by a skin rash, commonly known as viral exanthem. The leg pain, swelling, and difficulty walking could indicate inflammation in your joints, a condition called viral arthritis. These symptoms are often seen in viral infections like dengue or chikungunya. I recommend getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. If your symptoms worsen or do not improve over time, it's important to contact a gastroenterologist.

पेट मे जलन होना बार बार डकेर आणा पेट फुलना

Female | 52

The burning sensation in your stomach, the non-stop burping, and the bloated feeling can all be a consequence of acidity. It is a medical condition where the stomach is producing more acid than usual. Eating too much spicy food, stress, and not eating regular meals can bring this to you. To make you feel better start with a smaller portion of food avoid spicy meal, and stay calm. By drinking milk or using antacids you can also get some relief from the pain.
