My mom found out she has a big cyst in her stomach. Attached to her belly button. I want to know if the surgery to remove it is risky.?

Answered on 18th June '24
The cyst can often bring pain and discomfort. They are due to the blocking of the glands or infections. Although cyst removal is generally quite safe, some risks are part of all surgeries. Her physician has to explain the pros and cons to your mom, so that she can make a well-informed decision about what is best for her health.

dysphagia eating with water
Male | Jawed
Swallowing water seems easy, but sometimes it’s not. Dysphagia makes it difficult. You may cough, choke, or feel like food gets stuck. There are different causes, like weak muscles or nerve issues. Sip slowly and sit up straight while eating. If swallowing remains difficult, see a gastroenterologist.

I have bloating with little difficulty in breathing. Two days ago I experienced temporary loss of consciousness.
Male | 16
The possibility of bloating and shortness of air can be caused by some digestive and respiratory system\disorders. These symptoms, including the temporary lack of consciousness, may pose a risk for a more severe problem. Urging immediate help from a doctor should be the first step to diagnosing the problem precisely and getting the right treatment.

Hi I have a very silly question. I had a gastroscopy without sedation. Is it safe to have 1 glass of wine with a friend ? The numbing throat spray has worn off.
Female | 46
After a gastroscopy, do not take too much force on your body. The glass of wine can hurt your throat because the numbing spray has already worn off. You might feel some mild discomfort or have a little acidity. It's better to wait one or two days before relishing that wine.

Female | 28
Most people at times deal with bladder troubles. You may feel an urgent need to urinate frequently, along with stomach cramps. Such symptoms often indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI) or bladder irritation. Simple steps can provide relief: drinking ample water, limiting caffeine and spicy fare, and fully emptying your bladder when urinating. However, if discomfort persists, seeking medical advice from a urologist becomes advisable.

Female | 19
Transmission of hepatitis C may involve contact with infected blood and/or sharps such as needles. Even if the needle does not have any water therein, the stick and pokes use can still result in viral infections. It will be good to see a hepatologist or a gastroenterologist if you have reason to think your chances of Hepatitis C are high.

I have piles . I want to help
Male | 18
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are enlarged veins located in the anus or rectum area. These swollen vessels may cause discomfort, irritation, and bleeding when having bowel movements. Excess pressure on the blood vessels results in piles forming. Contributing factors include difficulties passing stools, being overweight, or prolonged sitting periods. Preventing piles involves consuming fiber-rich foods, drinking adequate water regularly, and avoiding straining during bowel movements. Incorporating gentle exercises can also prove beneficial. If piles develop, over-the-counter ointments and creams offer relief temporarily. However, consulting a gastroenterologist regarding any concerning symptoms is advisable.

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Eat bland foods like rice and bananas to soothe your stomach. Rest up, and avoid spicy/fatty food. If it persists over a week, see a gastroenterologist.

online Doctor Dashboard / My Health Queries / Query Thread Query Thread Answered Your Query8 hours ago Consulted for: Mr.HARSHA K N (Myself) , Age: 22, Gender: Male Hello, I am Harsha K N In december 14th 2023, I got admitted for frequent bowel movements with mucus for whole night. I got colonoscopy done on 15th dec in which they indicated it as "Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis" and they had suggested mesacol OD and SR fil enema . In the 3rd follow up on 21st march 2024, they did a sigmoidoscopy and there it was said as "ulcers in rectosigmoid are 75% healed and in rectum it has healed completely, and also in the indication they have mentioned as "healing SRUS". So i got a bit confused about my condtion that it is' ulcerative colitis' or 'SRUS'. And also it would be helpful if got an explanation of difference between UC and SRUS because i could not be able to find out.
Male | 22
UC and SRUS have some things that are the same, but they are a bit different. UC impacts your big intestine, making it red and sore. You may get loose poop, belly pain, and blood in your poop. SRUS often causes bleeding from your rear end, gooey discharge, and trouble controlling your poop. Meds that reduce redness help with UC, while SRUS may need food with lots of fiber and poop softeners.

Hello, I have been experiencing large amounts of blood in faeces when I use the toilet and some pain for the last two weeks. I think it is linked to drug and alcohol use, as I'm only 23 but have been abusing several pills (sometimes 30 a day, ibuprofen/codeine) and drinking a lot for around 3 years now on and off. I have also developed mouth sores on the corner of my lips for no apparent reason and I think this may be related. Do you know what this could be?
Male | 23
Blood and pain when using the toilet indicate problems inside your body. Those mouth sores reveal that something is wrong with your health. These issues likely stem from drug or alcohol abuse. Your liver, stomach, and even immune system could be damaged. Getting help from a gastroenterologist immediately is vital.

You have some sharp pain and the feeling of being sick as well as nausea in your stomach. Multiple reasons can lead to these symptoms. One of them could be food poisoning which is quite common. If you eat something that does not please your stomach, or have a stomach ache, it can show these symptoms. However, drink water and eat light-clear foods like crackers or carrot juice. If the symptoms become constant, visit a gastroenterologist.

IBS patients often experience a sour stomach, leading to symptoms like bloating, cramps, and changes in bowel habits. Certain foods can worsen these symptoms, such as dairy, spicy foods, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners. Eating small meals, drinking enough water, and avoiding trigger foods can help.
