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.

Sometimes, stomach pains strike on one side. Gas or overeating may cause this discomfort. It also could be because of a strained muscle. However, more serious issues like ulcers or organ inflammation could also trigger such pain. If severe or persistent pain, medical consultation from a gastroenterologist is necessary. Meanwhile, stay hydrated. Rest up. Eat gentle and consume healthy food.

Me and my daughter always listen each other's heart sound using stethoscope but today I noticed that her heartbeat sound wasn't normal and it sounded like some extra sounds are coming and her right side lower bowel sound of stomach wasn't normal as well as I was putting stethoscope on her stomach she was feeling pain.

Female | 12

You noticed strange sounds from your daughter - her heartbeat seems off and her tummy's making odd noises. The heartbeat might be a heart murmur, which could mean nothing serious or suggest a heart issue. As for her stomach, it probably indicates an upset belly. To be safe, schedule a gastroenterologist visit soon to check if everything's alright with her health.

You've got an upset stomach from that Aciclovir dispersible tablet you took. Tummy aches and weakness can happen with that medicine. It might be irritating your belly. Try eating before taking it to avoid this issue. Drinking lots of water can also help soothe things. But, if the problem persists, definitely let your doctor know about it.

Not proper digestive system work , continue flow nose cough, acid reflux in stomach , not stomach properly clean washroom timing

Male | 24

Your stomach might act up, causing a runny nose, coughing, acid reflux, and irregular bathroom breaks. This could be from eating too fast, stress, or certain foods. Eat slowly, avoid spicy or greasy meals, and stay calm. Drink lots of water. Fruits and veggies help clean your stomach and make you feel better.

My name is Sachin i have been experiencing bloating, cramps, stomach pain, and feeling like your stomach is hard, especially after eating cauliflower and grams. My symptoms started gradually and have been consistent since morning. The severity of my symptoms is around 6 to 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. I have not experienced diarrhea or constipation along with these symptoms.

Male | 32

Bloating, cramps, and stomach pain after eating cauliflower and beans might occur if your digestive system is unable to function properly. They can lead to gas production, which in turn, can make your belly quite firm and you may feel uncomfortable. Try to stay away from these foods for the moment and drink a certain amount of water to see if your symptoms are relieved. If the situation persists, you can consider consulting a gastroenterologist for some additional guidance.

It appears that you may have a medical problem called rectal prolapse. This occurs when the rectal tissue which is lining the rectum comes out through the anus. Symptoms include a feeling of something coming out of the bottom, bleeding, and discomfort. It can occur because of straining during bowel movements or weak pelvic floor muscles. To prevent this, it is essential to stay away from constipation by consuming a fiber-rich diet and drinking sufficient water. You need to consult with a gastroenterologist to receive the right care.

• Hepatitis B carriers are persons who carry the hepatitis B virus in their blood but do not experience symptoms. Between 6% and 10% of persons infected with the virus will become carriers and will be able to infect others without knowing it.

• A considerable proportion of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) patients are in the inactive carrier state, which is characterised by normal transaminase levels, limited viral replication, and little liver necroinflammatory activity. After at least one year of frequent monitoring, a diagnosis is made, and lifelong follow-up is required to ensure that this status is maintained.

• In case there is no improvement in HBVDNA levels, consult your expert but do not stop the medication on your own.

• Drugs prescribed such as Tafero (tenofovir) acts by ceasing the production of new viruses, blocks or slows viral proliferation in human cells, and eliminates the infection and also boost the level of CD4 cells (white blood cells that fight infection) in your blood. Entaliv (entecavir) acts by inhibiting the viral replications processes like reverse transcription, DNA replication and transcription.

• Seek the advice of a hepatologist so that your treatment may be adjusted according to your specific needs and preferences.

You may feel something unusual in your bottom area. That's called rectal fullness. It happens when gas or stool builds up in your intestine. Your body thinks something is there, but it's not. Eat lots of fiber and drink water to help. If it doesn't go away or gets worse, see a gastroenterologist.

You might have a stomach bug. These bugs are usually viral and quite contagious. Be sure to drink lots of fluids such as water or clear soup while staying away from solid foods until you feel better. When you’re able to, try eating small easy-to-digest meals. If your symptoms persist or worsen, see a gastroenterologist who can give more advice on this matter.

I have piles . I want to help

Male | 18

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are enlarged veins located in the anus or rectum area. These swollen vessels may cause discomfort, irritation, and bleeding when having bowel movements. Excess pressure on the blood vessels results in piles forming. Contributing factors include difficulties passing stools, being overweight, or prolonged sitting periods. Preventing piles involves consuming fiber-rich foods, drinking adequate water regularly, and avoiding straining during bowel movements. Incorporating gentle exercises can also prove beneficial. If piles develop, over-the-counter ointments and creams offer relief temporarily. However, consulting a gastroenterologist regarding any concerning symptoms is advisable.

Sure! You might have food allergies or intolerances, which can make certain foods cause problems like stomach aches, rashes, or trouble breathing. These happen because your body mistakenly thinks some foods are harmful. The best thing to do is avoid these trigger foods. An allergist can help you find out which foods to avoid and how to manage your symptoms.
