Should I investigate esophageal dysmotility with tree-in-bud nodularity?

Patient's Query

Unchanged background of scattered tree-in-bud nodularity seen most prominently in the bilateral lower lobes. Findings are likely due to sequela of low volume aspiration given mildly patulous appearance of the esophagus, concerning for esophageal dysmotility/chronic reflux. Clinical correlation and further evaluation with fluoroscopic guided esophagram may be considered. If patient's symptoms persist or worsen, consider repeat CT chest in 3 to 6 months to further evaluate. No new suspicious pulmonary nodularity or pathologic intrathoracic lymphadenopathy appreciated.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

By analyzing the scan results, the doctors found that there are small clusters in the lungs which can be a sign of possible aspiration. This could be because of the problems with the functioning of the esophagus, which may be related to chronic reflux. To be sure, a test called an esophagram could provide more insights. If symptoms continue, another scan in a few months could help track any changes.

Low grade Appendiceal reuinous neoplasm

Female | 50

The term low-grade appendiceal neoplasm refers to abnormal tissue in the appendix. If you have one, it will be stealthy at times, although you may feel pain in the lower right side of your tummy, nausea, or changes in your stool. However, the underlying cause is not always clear. It entails surgery to evacuate the appendix if the infected part is operable. The follow-up examinations are quite significant and must be done to supervise the condition.

Male | 44

Meals without gluten may help high blood pre­ssure. High blood pressure ofte­n has no symptoms, but it can bring headaches, chest pain, e­xhaustion. A gluten-free die­t with veggies, fruits, lean prote­ins, and whole grains may lower blood pressure­.

I am 18 year old female. Every morning while pooping I get a normal (not solid) bowel followed by loose stools like diarrhea , every morning after waking up I feel a huge urge to poop and then within 10 minutes a lot of poop comes out of my body and its normal one (although it is not solids) it seems like i am done but then very loose stool starts coming in very small amounts for which I have to strain and I end up with 50 minutes in toilet but that loose stool never gets out completely , its been more than an year now.

Female | 18

You have a problem with a condition called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The sure signs of IBS are the combination of constipation and diarrhea, in addition to often urgent bowel movements. It may be instigated by stress, some foods, or hormonal changes. For IBS to be controlled, it is important to eat a balanced diet, to drink enough water, to control stress, and to use medications if necessary.
