Q: Why colonoscopy is costly?

Colonoscopy can be costly for several reasons. One reason is that the procedure requires specialized equipment, such as a colonoscope, which can be expensive. Additionally, the procedure is typically performed by a specialist, such as a gastroenterologist, who may charge higher fees than a general practitioner. The cost may also include the cost of sedation or anesthesia during the procedure. Finally, the cost may also include the cost of any necessary follow-up care or treatment.

Q: What is the outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction treatment after gallbladder removal?

The outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can vary depending on the obstruction's cause, severity, and duration. Medication: In some cases, a bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can be treated with a combination of medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, to help relieve symptoms and clear the blockage. ERCP: In more severe cases, a procedure known as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be needed to remove the obstruction. Surgery: In specific cases, including cancerous growth, surgery may involve removal of the blocked section of the duct or, in severe cases, rerouting of the bile ducts through a procedure called a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Q: Is a blocked bile duct an emergency?

Bile duct blockage can cause life-threatening infections if not treated in time. Eventually, they can lead to chronic liver diseases like biliary cirrhosis.

Q: Is the procedure for removing gallbladder while pregnant safe?

Recent advancements in laparoscopic surgery have made the procedure less invasive and have a shorter recovery time, which can decrease the risk of complications for both the mother and the baby. Also, this type of surgery can be performed with regional anesthesia, which is considered safer than general anesthesia during pregnancy.

When I lay down, my nose gets closed, and when I get up it opens slowly but almost instantly (some addition that might be helpful: I have GERD)

When you lie down, your nose feels blocked. When you stand up, it slowly clears. This happens due to GERD, a condition where stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus. The acid can reach your nose and cause congestion. To help, prop up your head while sleeping. Avoid eating close to bedtime. If the problem continues, consult a gastroenterologist for advice.

Sir mere pet main bhut tez dard ho rha h saath main mere ko nausea vomiting and 18th date I'm doing sex

Female | 19

You have some sharp pain and the feeling of being sick as well as nausea in your stomach. Multiple reasons can lead to these symptoms. One of them could be food poisoning which is quite common. If you eat something that does not please your stomach, or have a stomach ache, it can show these symptoms. However, drink water and eat light-clear foods like crackers or carrot juice. If the symptoms become constant, visit a gastroenterologist.

This could be caused by bad food, a virus, or digestion issues. Try this: eat smaller meals, avoid spicy or fatty foods, and drink plenty of liquids. If you don't feel better soon, it's best to see a gastroenterologist. They can properly assess your condition and provide medication if needed.

The problem I’m having is that I had high blood pressure some weeks again and I took drug it goes back to normal some days after I noticed that I’m my stern notch is pulsing whenever I place my finger on it it kinda heavy and also I’m having diarrhea after eating chest pain and sometimes as if something is in my throat and I’m always weak and feel bloated And I did an X-ray on my chest everything is normal

Female | 24

Acid reflux might cause your chest pain. A lump-in-throat sensation, bloating, and diarrhea after meals are signs. Stomach acid flows back up the food pipe. Smaller meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods help. Don't lie down after eating. Drink lots of water too. This condition is when stomach acid flows up. Visit a gastroenterologist if the problem continues.

Female | 19

A sore throat and stomach pains have varied reasons. It might signal a viral infection, perhaps a cold or flu. Acid reflux sometimes brings those troubles too. Sip warm water flavored with honey and lemon to ease discomfort. Rest well and avoid spicy cuisine temporarily. However, if symptoms linger, see a gastroenterologist could prove wise.

Hi, I have been waking in the early morning (usually between 4 and 5:30) with pain in my shoulders, back, chest or ribs. I am sure it is trapped wind because once I get up and walk around and release the gas by a lot of burping or going to the toilet, the pain goes away. I then try and get back to sleep though can find this difficult. A lot of the time the pain starts again usually 1-2 hours later. Once more, when I sit up it tends to go away, even without burping etc. I do have tenderness around my diaphragm sometimes or sensitivity when pressing to try and move the area. I seem to experience this nightly now regardless of dietary changes. I am a 45 year old male and in generally reasonable health. Thanks for your help. Paul

Redness after poo, too much pain and lump on anus

Male | 17

You might have an anal tear that could be the cause of this issue. It might result in redness, pain, and swelling. Increasing fluid intake and consuming high-fiber foods may aid in softening stools. Prevent straining while you use the toilet. A small, warm bath for your bottom is good to use too, as a means of healing. In case of constant pain, consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

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.

It's great that you went to the hospital and received treatment for typhoid, malaria, and a cold. Some of these diseases might be responsible for one to feel unwell. Headaches and vomiting can sometimes stick around even after treatment. Ensure drinking lots of water, plenty of rest, and healthy foods. If your symptoms don't get any better, go back to your doctor to get more advice.

IBS is a disorder that affects the digestive system and can be triggered by stress, certain foods, or medications. To help manage your symptoms, consider avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods and try adding more fiber to your diet. Drinking enough water and managing stress through relaxation exercises can also be helpful. If these tips don't work, it might be helpful to talk to a gastroenterologist.
