Intestinal issues after infection: Vancomycin or alternative treatment?
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.

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.

My name is aarti. I am 27 year old female. I have been suffering from diarrhea for 5 days but for the last 2 days I am urinating more frequently. I urinate 5-10 minutes after drinking water and it feels as if something else will also come out with the urine.

You may be suffering from a UTI and diarrhea. UTI can cause frequent urination and a feeling of discomfort in the bladder. UTI and diarrhea can sometimes occur simultaneously. A good way to improve your health is by drinking a lot of water and going to the doctor so you can get antibiotics.

From yesterday night hiccups on and off
Male | 74
Hiccups are little jumps in your body when the muscles around your chest and stomach twitch. They can arise from eating too quickly, excitement, and anxiety. Typically, they pass away on their own after a brief period. You may attempt drinking water more slowly or breathing deeply, to calm them down. If they continue for a long time and are a nuisance to you, let someone know to make sure everything is okay.

The bleeding and the discharge of the mucus from the anus together with poop could be a symptom of inflammation in the intestines. This could be the result of a condition like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or infections. It is crucial to consume fiber-rich foods, take a lot of water, and not to strain during bowel movements.

Female | 14
Diarrhea is a common ailment that can be either infection-related, food-induced, or medical conditions concerned. Pay attention to the amount of fluid you’re drinking and eat foods that won’t exacerbate your symptoms. You might consider going to a gastroenterologist if your diarrhea continues more than a few days.

Bleeding from anus No lumps Not sore Stomach is fine
Female | 30
Presence of blood in your stool but without the presence of lumps or pain can be a result of a condition called hemorrhoids. These are swollen blood vessels inside your rectum that may bleed when you have bowel movements. A much less common cause could also result from anal fissure or an infection. Diet should be fiber-based and patients should always have their bottom cleaned. If it is a matter of persisting hemorrhoids, then you must urgently see a gastroenterologist for proper advice.

You likely have a reduced appetite and feel full after meals, along with a habit of drinking alcohol frequently. These symptoms could indicate a possible digestive issue caused by heavy alcohol use. Alcohol irritates the stomach, leading to less hunger and a feeling of fullness. To improve your appetite and stomach health, try reducing or eliminating alcohol, eat smaller meals more frequently, and include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Remember, moderate alcohol consumption is key to maintaining overall health.

Male | 16
You might be experiencing gas buildup in your belly, which can cause loud noises and a feeling of extra weight. The pain could also be related to issues with your belly button, and attempts to fix it might have made things worse. Gentle exercises and warm beverages can help move the gas out. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to consult a gastroenterologist for appropriate care.

i have pain in abdomen .
Female | 25
Stomach pain is no fun. It might seem like a small issue, but it could indicate something serious. It could be just gas or something you ate that disagreed with you. Or maybe it's a bug going around. But don't ignore it—conditions like appendicitis require medical attention. Stay hydrated and eat bland foods. If the pain persists or worsens, see a doctor. While belly aches are common, some need treatment.

While doing poo in the morning i can feel very little pain while straining on stomach. I have done blood test, stool test, urine test and every tests are normal except bilirubin is 35 umol/L and urea is 2.7 L and little deficiency of vitamin B12.
Male | 20
Your digestive issues might be due to problems with food absorption or digestion. Symptoms like gas, stomach pain, and changes in stool could indicate issues with how you process food. Undigested food in your stool and watery bowel movements might suggest digestive problems. Even though your blood, stool, and urine tests were normal, elevated bilirubin levels, low urea, and vitamin B12 deficiency may point to underlying conditions that need attention. Eating a balanced fiber-rich diet and staying hydrated could help with your symptoms. Probiotics or digestive enzymes might also support gut health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to consult a gastroenterologist to explore the best treatment options.
