Patient's Query

If fibroscan report is 8.8kpa,,is it curable and what are it's symptoms

Gastroenterology

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

A FibroScan reading of 8.8 kPa indicates some degree of liver stiffness, which may suggest liver scarring or fibrosis. Common signs can include fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal discomfort, though some individuals may not experience noticeable symptoms. Causes often include alcohol consumption, viral infections, or metabolic disorders. Treatment may involve lifestyle adjustments like a healthier diet, regular exercise, and managing underlying conditions. While complete reversal can be challenging, many therapies can help improve liver health. It’s essential to consult your gastroenterologist for personalized advice and further evaluation to determine the best course of action.

Your signs like high heat, loose poop, and low energy could be from typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is caused by a germ called Salmonella typhi that can be found in dirty food or water. The cure is antibiotics and drinking lots of water. It is important to see a doctor for the right help and cure.

There are chances you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms. When stomach aches, rumbles, and diarrhea occur, that suggests gut sensitivity. Antibiotics sometimes trigger these by disrupting gut bacteria balance. To ease discomfort, consume mild foods like rice, bananas, and toast in small portions. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water. If problems persist, it's crucial to consult your doctor again.

You would want to consult a general physician or a primary care doctor for the symptoms you mentioned. They'll conduct an initial assessment, ask about your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may order some tests if necessary to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Based on their evaluation, the primary care doctor may refer you to a gastroenterologist if they suspect a specific gastrointestinal condition or if further specialized care is required.

My tummy is growling bigger new

Male | 35

A noticeable increase in abdominal size can often relate to various factors, such as gas buildup, bloating, or dietary changes. You might also experience discomfort, indigestion, or changes in appetite. Gentle modifications like reducing carbonated drinks, eating slowly, and avoiding high-fiber foods for a short period may help. Staying hydrated is important as well. If these suggestions do not bring improvement, or if you notice any severe symptoms like pain or weight loss, I recommend discussing your concerns with a gastroenterologist for assessment and tailored advice.

Combinational drug diclofenac-misoprostol is widely used to alleviate pain symptoms. But it may cause some severe side effects including abdominal pain and bleeding, especially in patients with ulcer history. If any of these symptoms occur, you should visit a gastroenterologist immediately. It is highly advised that you do not take any medications unless a doctor has prescribed such.

To help with IBS, eat fewer meals, avoid trigger foods, drink water, and manage stress through relaxation techniques or exercise. Consult with a gastroenterologist to get personalized advice on managing your symptoms.

I m suffering from Lax LES III. What is the best treatment?

The valve separating your food pipe from your stomach isn't functioning properly, causing Lax LES III. This lets acid goes up your esophagus, leading to heartburn and reflux. You may experience chest pain, trouble swallowing, or feel something stuck in the throat. Being overweight, smoking and certain foods can trigger it. Making some lifestyle adjustments like eating smaller meals helps treat it. Taking medications or surgery may also provide relief. Visit a gastroenterologist for further treatment.

Female | 20

Your symptoms suggest a possible underlying issue that may affect your overall well-being. Factors such as stress, dietary changes, or dehydration could be involved. It's important to stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure adequate rest to support your recovery. Gentle exercise, like walking or stretching, may alleviate some discomfort. However, given the variety of symptoms you’re experiencing, I strongly encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored advice.

Female | 27

Trying to treat this with one of the diseases rather than a hormonal shift or malnutrition is just one of the issues that come to make us fall ill. That's just a small part of what you can do to assist a healthcare professional in evaluating your health. They can provide the necessary information about your health status and can also guide you in the decision-making process to find a solution to your medical issue. I should be amiss if I helped you answer everything and did not stress the importance of your gastroenterologist approval of the solutions. If you want to discuss this with your doctor after the appointment, you do not have to wait for an answer. You have the right to healthcare and, in this matter, jockeying with a skilled liar remains the last resort.

I was diagnosed with intestine obsertruction on 04 May 24, Subsequently, I was treated with antibiotics and painkillers. Urine catheter was inserted on 05/05/24 and removed on 10/05/24. However, I am having irritation (burning) while urination and bleeding on first urination in the morning. I am in constant pain.

Male | 28

You might have a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs may occur after using a urinary catheter and can make you feel like peeing is painful or that it causes bleeding. This discomfort would not kill you; however, take enough water then consult with a urologist. More antibiotics might be recommended to deal with the problem and ease the symptoms.

Your body pain, fatigue, constipation, swelling in the area of private, morning vomiting, and swallowed food are some of the reasons that may make your body feel stressed. These symptoms may guide you to a digestive problem or an infection. To begin, you should increase your water intake, take in small meals, and avoid spicy and oily food.
