Niece's Positive Occult Blood Test & Colon Thickening
My niece's stool occult blood test is positive and sigmoid colon is thickening at acute stage

Answered on 6th Aug '24
Blood hidden in poop is occult blood. A swollen part of the sigmoid colon needs treatment fast. Look out for stomach pains, changes in how you poo, or losing weight. Infections, inflammation, or growths may be the problem. Doctors must do more tests to find the reason. Then you'll get medicine or surgery.

I am 19 and I had surgery 8 days ago and had to go on oxy. i’ve stopped taking it about 4 days ago. For the past 8 days i haven’t been able to poop. I have to go very bad but every time i do it’s too painful to pass and i have to suck it back up. i took 4 stool softeners yesterday and 1 the day before. I have to go really bad but i’m not sure what to do and i’m scared to because it hurts so bad
Female | 19
You’ve been struggling with constipation since your surgery and taking painkillers. Pain medication can slow things down in your body which causes constipation. I’m glad you took stool softeners but also try drinking more water, eating lots of fibre such as fruit and vegetables, or doing a little bit more exercise. If it doesn’t help, visit a gastroenterologist.

I am 25 year female I have a abdominal pain and little smelly urine
Female | 25
You might have a urinary tract infection (UTI). Symptoms like abdominal pain and smelly urine can be caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. Drinking plenty of water and seeing a urologist for antibiotics if needed is important. Stay hydrated and visit a doctor for proper treatment.

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.

I am a 51 year old female and I have been having diarrhea and squishy poops and sometimes the poops can’t come out so I have to use my finger to get them out, so I am wondering why I keep getting these symptoms?
Female | 51
Having diarrhea or soft poop could be due to many things such as infections or food sensitivities while difficulty passing stool could mean constipation. You need to eat more fiber, drink plenty of water, and also go for a medical check-up to know exactly what is wrong with you.

Female | 20
Your girlfriend might be experiencing acute appendicitis. Symptoms of this are sudden stomach pain on the lower right side with swelling. Appendicitis is when the appendix gets inflamed. If you think this is the case, you need to go to the hospital straight away because surgery is usually the only way to get rid of the inflamed appendix and avoid complications.

I am a 30 years old female and I have experiencing stomach cry from time to time whether I have eaten food and no medication I am using
Female | 30
These can occur due to various reasons. Sometimes, they result from eating too quickly or consuming food items that do not react well with your stomach. Stress may also be a contributing factor. To reduce the pain, attempt to eat slowly, steer clear of fatty or spicy foods, and consider relaxing through deep breathing exercises and simple workouts. If it becomes persistent, do not hesitate to consult with a gastroenterologist.

Male | 27
The level of bad cholesterol in the blood is capable of giving you a high risk of heart problems. Reaching a state of healthy weight and the right food choices one can use as supplementary units can help reduce hypercholesterolemia. Because you've been doing so well, you may eat out, but make sure you choose wisely. Prefer alternatives like roasted chicken or fish with greens instead of those stewed or cheesy dishes.

Female | 19
These signs might be caused by an illness known as an anal fissure, which is influenced by constipation or diarrhea. Spicy or greasy dishes can make it even worse. You can soak in warm water and keep the area clean. Moreover, it will also be beneficial for you to drink lots of water and consume high-fiber foods to avoid getting constipated. In case the condition continues or becomes severe, visit a gastroenterologist.
