Why is my digestion and defecation troublesome at 22?

Am 22 yrs old male. I have been having a lot of trouble with my digestion for the past 1 month. That is, after I eat food, it is not digested properly. Also, I am not defecating properly.This is causing my body to gain more fat.

It's important to address your digestive concerns, which can lead to discomfort and changes in weight. Symptoms like poor digestion and infrequent bowel movements can stem from various factors, including diet, stress, or dehydration. To support your digestion, consider increasing fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with staying hydrated. Regular physical activity can also be beneficial. However, if these issues persist or worsen, I encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist. They can assess your situation comprehensively and provide tailored advice for effective management.

Hey, I am a 22-year-old boy, and I have stomach pain. I feel dizzy due to this; I have a vision issue. Since yesterday, when I go to the washroom to pee, when I pass the urine, it's got a dark yellow colour in it. It is not normal, and please suggest the best you can. 

Male | 22

Having inflammation in the abdomen, dizziness, unclear or distorted vision, and the fact that the urine is darker shade of yellow than usual might point to something. Make an effort to drink more water. In addition to this, you can consume simple and dry meals, as well as, avoid coffee, tea, and alcoholic drinks. If no improvement is experienced, then visit a doctor for a check-up.

I had fissure last week, took some medicine from a nearby doctor, now moved to a different place. No pain but feels like some swelling down side , kind of external hemorrhoids.

Male | 25

They are the veins around the anus that have become deformed due to too much blood being trapped inside. They are caused by straining during bowel movements (sitting for a long time) or recognizing weight. You may try drinking lots of water, eating high-fiber foods, not straining when going to the bathroom, and relaxing your bowels when going to the bathroom. Exposing the area to warm compresses is one of the easiest solutions, however, you can also get good pain relief by using over-the-counter creams.

i got mild choking some rice in my throath that make me cough but i can breath can i ask can i drink water?

Female | 61

Sometimes when the food goes down the wrong way it gets stuck in the throat. If you can breathe and cough this means that the airflow is not obstructed. You can try this method: drink a bit of water to help flush the rice down. Do not swallow big gulps as this may lead to more choking interventions. Small sips are recommended and you should keep coughing to remove the dirt from your throat. Get medical care if the problem continues or confirms you have a more serious illness.

Hello I am 13, and I have been suffering from acid reflux for about a month. I have talked to 2 doctors. I have been prescribed pepcid about 2 weeks ago. So my 2 week trial is over. But still I suffer from it. All pepcid was able to do is ease the symptoms a bit. How do I ease my anxiety and get rid of this illness forever?

Male | 13

Acid reflux can be caused by stress and anxiety, as well as dietary and lifestyle choices. You can manage stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation. If your symptoms persist despite medication and lifestyle changes, your doctor can recommend additional testing or referral to a specialist.

Vomiting blood indicates bleeding in your stomach or esophagus. Possible causes include stomach ulcers, esophageal tears, or excessive vomiting. Symptoms may include weakness, dizziness, and stomach pain. Seek emergency treatment immediately for tests and proper care. Do not eat or drink until you are examined.

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.
