I am 17 year old male patient suddenly in anal region small lump is seen and very uncomfortable while sleeping sitting and itching and blood while wipe
Male | 17
You may have got a hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoids are inflamed veins in your anus, which can lead to discomfort, itching, and sometimes bleeding. This condition may be a result of stressing during bowel movements, sitting for a long time, or not taking fiber in your diet. To get rid of your symptoms, you can apply OTC creams, take warm baths, and eat more fiber-rich foods. Hemorrhoids are most often disappear by themselves but if it is uncomfortable, it would be better to discuss with a gastroenterologist.

I have piles and I was using anovate cream but now it's getting painful and even I can see blood while popping wat can I apply alternate
Female | 28
Piles, which are also known as hemorrhoids, are one of the common issues that happens due to straining with stools and sitting for long periods. If your symptoms don't improve when you are using Anovate, get yourself over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams which are indicated to contain hydrocortisone as one of the ingredients to help you with pain sensation and inflammation. Also, add more fiber to your diet to improve your stools by consuming less weight. Don't forget to drink lots of water and don't push too hard when you try to relieve constipation. If the signs and symptoms continue or get even worse, it is better to see a gastroenterologist.

I was loose motion before 2 days . I taken loperamide capsule but stopped my latrin from 2 days .
Male | 40
It seems that you are having constipation caused by loperamide which you took for your loose motions. The reason behind this is that loperamide reduces the movement of your gut. Dehydration, lack of fiber in the diet, or certain medications are some of the most common causes of constipation. To treat constipation, one should drink enough water, consume high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables, and do mild exercises such as walking.

I am55 years old lady suffering from upper abdomen pain after having meals my stomach feels floating i cannot eat properly . and always i am having short essay of breath Last five months back i was admitted in the hospital for stomach pain and severe animea i took 4 unit blood since my hemoglobin was 5 that time the dr did endoscopy and colonoscopy but my colonoscopy swas ok but endoscopy Hiatus hernia grade 2 was diagnosed but still I facing the same problem
Female | 55
The grade 2 Hiatus hernia, which you were diagnosed with earlier, could be the causing the symptoms. This is a situation in which your stomach part is being pushed back up into your chest. Making changes to your diet, eating less food, and steering clear of your trigger foods can make your symptoms go away. Your gastroenterologist needs to keep checking you to make sure your condition is being managed properly.

Hitoday i bought nww pressure cooker i cooked rice in it without washing it after 3 whistle it smell like burnt wire but after this i consumed that rice and now feel little bit pain in my chest n abdomen will it cause sime serious issue like cancer please hlp me
Female | 27
It appears that you have probably inhaled a little poison while making food in the new pressure cooker. It might give the chest and stomach the feeling as though they have some annoying reasons. The pain can also come from the existence of irritation. However, it is unlikely that long-term health risks can be linked to just one exposure. Be sure to cook in a well-ventilated area next, and if you experience pain or find that it worsens, seek medical advice.

Pain in abdomen and liver issue
Male | 63
Experiencing discomfort in your abdomen can stem from various factors, including digestive issues, inflammation, or liver conditions. Common symptoms might include bloating, nausea, or changes in appetite. It's essential to maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and manage stress, as these can significantly impact your overall health. However, due to the complexity of abdominal pain and its possible connections to liver health, I recommend seeking a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.

i m stomach pain, & gas in pait, - i eating food, all is submitting in chest,
Male | 39
Experiencing discomfort in your abdomen along with gas can stem from various factors, including dietary choices, swallowing air, or digestive issues. Foods that are high in fat or fiber may contribute to bloating and discomfort. To alleviate these symptoms, try eating smaller meals, staying hydrated, and incorporating gentle physical activity like walking. Over-the-counter medications may also provide relief. However, if the pain persists or worsens, I strongly encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.

Hi. I ate leftover food from last night for lunch. It was in the microwave last night and morning time I put it in the refrigerator. It didn't smell bad when I smelled it and it didn't make me sick when I ate it. But I was worried to much if I made a mistake eating it. So I forced myself to throw it out. Please advise ????
Female | 22
Consuming food that has been out of reach for a certain amount of time might result in food intoxication. The symptoms of food poisoning may include aches, discomfort, cramps, nausea, and vomiting. If there is no evidence of these symptoms after you eat the food, it's likely that your body didn’t react.

I ate moldy nuts and now from time to time I have little abdominal pain, i have diarrhea, I do not feel hungry at all. I have not taken anything to treat this. Is my body in danger, my liver or what to do to treat this at home. Can I get cancer from this ?
Male | 43
Feeling symptoms such as stomach pain, diarrhea, and loss of appetite caused by mold or mycotoxin but growing out of them, is indeed usual. Rehydration and eating energy drinks and foods like rice and dry toast can bring comfort even when the symptoms are rather mild and easily remedied If you experience prolonged or aggravate conditions, then consult a gastroenterologist for underlying issues.

Hello. I have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid since 3 weeks and I was prescribe with L Thyroxin 25. On the 1st week I started to take it everyday in the morning 30 min before breakfast, everything was fine. Then on 2nd week, I started again my birth control pills which is Asumate 30. And from the moment that I have started again my birth control pills and the L Thyroxin 25, I have been having diarrhea problem for 2 weeks until today still on going. I am not sure what is the issue , can you help please ?
Female | 28
I think you might have a stomach upset. When you take birth control pills with L Thyroxin, you might experience diarrhea. This could mean that the combo is affecting your gut. Keep yourself hydrated and consider taking the drugs at different times during the day. If it doesn’t stop, talk to a doctor so they can advise accordingly.

Constipation problem 20-25 day
Male | 22
The very common symptoms include: bothering during defecation, being hard as a rock, and being extremely painful. The reasons could be from not getting enough fiber, dehydration, or being a couch potato. If you want to get out of this problem, the best plan is to consume more fruit, vegetables, and whole grains and drink enough water. Regular training for constant mobility can relieve the digestion of indigestible food. If the prescribed remedies do not start showing their effects within a week or two and do not cause severe pain, it is now your turn to take the initiative and consult a gastroenterologist for the medical assessment and assistance that you need.

Female | 20
You might have a condition called indigestion. Symptoms include weakness, a bitter taste in your mouth, and lack of energy even after eating a meal. Overeating is another factor that can make it worse. To get better, you should eat smaller meals, and non-spicy food, and not lie down right after eating. Avoiding late-night snacks can also be a nice decision since it will help you relieve symptoms.

Male | 23
For chronic acid reflux that didn't respond to any treatment, it's important to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can recommend different medications and lifestyle modifications. If necessary, additional tests may be conducted to identify underlying factors. You may also try seeking a second opinion from a specialist..

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.

Hi Two months back i had laser surgery for 3rd degree hemorrhoid and chronic anal fissure and the progress was good with minimum pain or bleeding . But since one week I noticed that i have increased mild to moderate sharp pain with every bowel movement but the pain is less worse compared to before surgery , no bleeding. No constipation issue .Do I have to worry?
Female | 42
It's understandable to feel concerned about new discomfort following your surgery. Mild to moderate pain during bowel movements can occur as healing progresses, possibly due to increased sensitivity or tissue changes. Since you’re experiencing no bleeding and constipation isn't an issue, it's a positive sign. Focus on maintaining a high-fiber diet, adequate hydration, and gentle physical activity to support healing. However, it's essential to share these symptoms with your gastroenterologist for personalized advice and to rule out any other concerns. Regular follow-ups ensure optimal recovery.

i am suffer from piles problem for last 1 year, now suggest me what can i do?
Male | 46
Hemorrhoids cause veins near your anus to swell. This makes sitting painful. It can also cause bleeding when you use the bathroom. Try simple things first. Eat foods with lots of fiber, like fruits and veggies. Drink plenty of water too. Creams from the pharmacy may offer relief. But we'll look at other treatments if problems continue.

Lately I have been gaseous , my stomach is growling, am nauseous , belching a lot , a popping sound in my stomach , most times I have constipation them switch to diarrhea, belly is bloated , I pass gas regularly , and have a bad taste on my mouth at times What could be the cause ?
Female | 20
You might have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. IBS causes bloating, gas, tummy pain, constipation, diarrhea, and bowel habit changes. The reason for IBS isn't fully known. Stress, some foods, or hormonal shifts may trigger it. Managing IBS needs eating healthy foods, reducing stress, and possibly taking doctor-prescribed medicines to ease symptoms. IBS can be tough, but making lifestyle adjustments may help control it. Don't hesitate to consult a gastroenterologist for guidance on managing your symptoms effectively.

Acidity, throat burn, stomach ache, and gas are some of the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or an acid reflux condition. To relieve them, avoid spicy and salty foods, and have your head elevated when you sleep. You should consult a gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
