This could be because of a condition called dysphagia, which is the difficulty in passing food down the throat. She could opt for taking in smaller sizes and try her best to keep away from hot foods. Water is also another good option. In case the condition persists, she should visit a gastroenterologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 39
Pain starting in the middle of the chest and then extending to the person's back is a possible symptom of either acid reflux or heartburn. When there is an increase in swelling and at the same time intense pain, the possibility of inflammation in the digestive system cannot be ruled out. Eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy dishes, and sitting up after meals are some non-pharmacological measures largely recommended for acid reflux. Consult a Gastroenterologist for personal therapy when no result is seen after medication use.

i am a 23 years old male and for about 3 days now i have been feeling some kind of heaviness on the left side of my tummy,even though the heavy feeling doesn’t hurt and comes and goes it feels really uncomfortable. what should i do?
Male | 23
If you're feeling heaviness on the left side of your tummy, it could be due to gas, constipation, or even stress. Eating too fast can also cause this discomfort. Try eating slowly, drinking water, and moving around. If the discomfort persists or worsens, it's best to consult a gastroenterologist for further advice.

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.

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 am 34 years old My pancreas has been damaged
Male | 34
When the pancreas is injured, it can cause all sorts of problems. You may have terrible tummy aches, throw up a lot, and lose weight without trying to. A damaged pancreas could be the result of gallstones, or too much alcohol, or it might just run in your family. Eating well and staying away from booze is important. A gastroenterologist could prescribe some pills that would help you out and they might also recommend that you go on a special diet to make your pancreas feel better.

The pain in the lower and upper parts of your stomach, the belly enlargement, and the missed periods could be signs of a serious condition.

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.

I've been diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and find it hard to manage my symptoms. What dietary modifications can help alleviate my discomfort?
Female | 37
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. Fiber-rich foods and probiotics may also be beneficial. Since everyone is different, keep a food diary to track what works best for you.

Loose motion problem and accidety
Male | 32
Loose motion (diarrhea) can be caused by virus infections, food poisoning, or bad hygiene. Symptoms consist of frequent and loose stools. Acidity occurs when the stomach's acid goes up the food pipe which brings along heartburn. To manage, drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and eat rice, bananas, and toast, which are bland foods. Avoid spicy and oily foods that can trigger acidity before having a meal. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice from a gastroenterologist.

Abdominal pain after eating may be caused by the swelling of your intestines, which is a common symptom of Crohn's disease. You may ask your doctor to let you try a different drug that might work better for your condition. The right medication that is most effective for you and is helping with your symptoms should be found out soon. Therefore, you should not forget to tell your doctor about the other treatment possibilities.

I’m in the Creatine loading phase and my stomach feels bloated and my right side sometime feels irritated
Male | 18
During the creatine loading phase, bloating and stomach discomfort can occur due to increased water retention. If you're feeling irritation on your right side, consult a professional doctor like a gastroenterologist, as creatine supplementation is generally not associated with side specific irritation.

Motions not curing after taking medicine stops motion and again after 5days starting motions
Female | 26
A stomach issue seems the problem. Motions not leaving with treatment, and returning after days, could mean a bug or food poisoning. They bring stomach pain, loose motions, and puking. Drink lots of water for hydration. Eat bland food. If there's no improvement, see a gastroenterologist.

My wife mildly bulky pancreas (at head in region) hai kiya kare
Female | 35
Your pancreas is bit puffy, more around the head part. Inflammation or fatty changes can cause this. It brings pain in your stomach, trouble digesting food, and weight going down. Eat healthy foods with little fat to help. Don't drink alcohol. Try to keep normal weight too. See a gastroenterologist regularly to check on this condition.

Female | 29
It looks like you damaged your gastric mucosa or, perhaps, you have a stomach ulcer. It is crucial to see a gastroenterologist as quickly as you can for the accurate root cause of your symptoms and the best treatment. In the interim, it would be wise to steer clear of foods that may irritate your stomach and drink a good amount of water to remain hydrated.

The ultrasound gave good news for your liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, and aorta. Let's now move on to your kidneys. You have cysts in both kidneys which are small lumps filled with fluid. Cysts are very often harmless and don't cause any symptoms. Monitor them during your regular check-ups to ensure they remain the same size since they can cause problems if they change size or become unstable. If they do, visit a nephrologist.

Male | 19
You could be having signs of hemorrhoids, which are the causes of bleeding during bowel movements and pain in the anus area. Your doctor's medicine is related to these symptoms. It's usually important to follow the full course of medication as prescribed by your gastroenterologist, even if you start feeling better. This is the best way to ensure your full recovery and also to prevent the symptoms from returning.
