Answered on 23rd July '24
A stomach ulcer seems likely. Ulcers are painful stomach sores. Spicy foods and stress worsen them. Eat bland foods. Relax via deep breaths, gentle exercises. Seek medical help if pain persists. Ulcers require proper treatment. Avoiding care risks complications. Small changes promote healing. Visit a gastroenterologist, so they can review your diet, and prescribe medication. Ulcers can heal with proper management.

Female | 18
You may be constipated and have diarrhea. This is the situation one can find him or herself should one contemplate from the perspective of a patient. The blood can be from the torn part of the anus caused by the tough stool. Lack of fiber in your diet and not drinking enough water are the causes of this. Pay more attention to fruit, vegetables, and water intake. If blood still comes out or it becomes accommodation, go to a gynecologist.

Female | 21
Having experienced blood in your stool, even sporadically, can prompt concern. Various factors could contribute to this, including hemorrhoids, dietary issues, or gastrointestinal conditions. While it's reassuring that it hasn't recurred, it's still important to prioritize your health. I strongly recommend scheduling a visit with a gastroenterologist to discuss your history and possibly undergo an examination. This will help identify any underlying issues and provide peace of mind.

If you sense a node-like thing near the anus, it may have been caused by a clogged bowel. A person with constipation may have stool that is too solid and hard. To make things move faster drink more water, eat fresher foods, and do some exercise. If the problem persists, ask a gastroenterologist for advice.

Body aches and stomach troubles for three days must be difficult. He may have caught a stomach bug. Such illnesses can cause body pain and abdominal discomfort. The best approach now is bed rest, staying hydrated with ample water, and consuming light fare like crackers and broth. Following this path should aid his recovery soon.

Feeling very hungry immediate after taking meal from last two months. Medicines taking amipox h, Revelol xl 50, Ramitorva and Ranaloz od tab.
Male | 53
It's understandable to feel concerned about increased hunger after meals. This may be due to various factors, including metabolic changes, medication effects, or dietary composition. Certain medications can influence appetite, while a diet low in fiber may not satisfy hunger. Consider integrating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables into your meals, as they can enhance satiety. Staying hydrated is also essential. While these adjustments may help, I recommend discussing your symptoms with your gastroenterologist to explore further and ensure your medication regimen is suitable for you. They can provide personalized guidance.

Male | 16
Not drinking enough water can lead to such problems. Make sure to drink lots of water and eat foods high in fiber such as fruits and vegetables. Also, try being more active – this can help your bowels move properly. Increasing your fluid intake, consuming more dietary roughage, and keeping on the go. Remember it’s always best to seek medical advice if things don’t improve.

You seem ill and facing some challenging symptoms. The stomach ache, loose bowel movements, headache, back discomfort, vomiting, nausea, and fatigue indicate potential health concerns.

Hello doctor good morning, I'm Rajesh Kumar from West Bengal. Doctor I'm suffering from piles during 15 days I use medicine with help of doctor consultation. I feel very pain on anus area. I nothing understood what I do. At the anus area only pain happened not bleeding aa another thing.
Male | 26
It appears that you are suffering from pain in the anus area. This can be a common sign of piles, also known as hemorrhoids. Piles can be the reason for unpleasant sensations and pain, particularly when passing stool. The main reason for piles is the raised pressure in the blood vessels near the anus. To help with the pain, you can first, soak in hot water baths, apply over-the-counter creams, and, eat high-fiber foods to prevent straining while passing stool. If the pain continues or gets worse, it's time to talk with a gastroenterologist about other treatment options.

I have drunk alcohol after it I have vomiting blood but first vomiting it is normal but after it I have put finger and start vomiting so less quantity blood come out
Male | 21
Throwing up blood after drinking alcohol is a major indicator. There might be irritation or bleeding happening in your stomach. Putting your finger down your throat to make yourself puke will make things worse. You need to quit drinking booze right away and see a doctor. Don’t do anything else that will irritate your stomach more, and try to drink some water so you don’t get dehydrated.

Male | 73
It sounds like you're experiencing digestive discomfort, which can stem from various factors, including dietary choices, stress, or dehydration. Symptoms like infrequent bowel movements and hard stools indicate possible constipation, often influenced by inadequate fiber and fluid intake. Improving your diet with more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with regular hydration, can help. Additionally, gentle physical activity can stimulate digestion. While these changes might provide relief, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized advice and assessment, especially if symptoms persist.

The baby seems to be having some stomach problems. If there are any light-colored bumps on the skin, the water in the stool AKA diarrhea, and a long-lasting fever could indicate bacterial infection or intolerance. Through this process, the baby may feel very weak and can vomit frequently. You can take your kid to the doctor if they are experiencing so many symptoms and have them undergo check-ups and a prescribed treatment to fix them.

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.

Gastritis, GERD, oesophagitis, delayed periods, and the feeling of being thin can be hard on a person.
