I am 17 year old boy from three days I see blood in my stool and a little pain. This happens before but after one or two days it gets okay .

Gastroenterology

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Someone may see blood in their stool sometimes. Hemorrhoids and a small tear in the anus can cause this. It may be constipation or inflammation that's causing your pain. To help with this, try drinking more water, eating foods rich in fiber and not pushing too hard when you go to the bathroom. If these measures don’t yield any results within a few days consult a gastroenterologist who will give you appropriate advice tailored for you.

Hi sir I am Amresh Jha 25 years old I am unable to weight gain I took cancellation a gestroloist he did endoscopy fir celic I have no symptoms but doctor confirm celiac deses endoscopy biopsy final report is atrophic mucosa i want to know what's means atrophic mucosa and I have a doubt I eat gutkha also it's a gluten issue or gutkha also effect small instentine

Male | 25

The "atrophic mucosa" means the lining of your gut is unhealthy. Eating gutkha can hurt your gut, but it does not relate to gluten. With celiac disease, you may have diarrhea, weight loss, and feel tired. The fix is following a strict no-gluten diet. This means avoiding foods with wheat, barley, and rye. By doing this, your gut can heal up and you will feel better overall.

My mother 59 who has been recovering from ascites over the past two years, has been experiencing a fever recently. Given her liver's ongoing weakness, I wanted to seek your advice on the next steps. Should we be concerned, and would you recommend any immediate tests or treatment? Thank you for your guidance.

Female | 59

Fever in someone with a history of ascites can indicate an underlying issue that should not be overlooked. It may be a sign of infection or other complications related to liver function. I recommend monitoring her symptoms closely, such as fatigue or abdominal pain and consult a gastroenterologist. They may suggest blood tests, imaging, or other evaluations to determine the cause.

Stomach ache since 2 days ant tlc count 11100 as per reports

Female | 28

Stomach aches are possible due to numerous causes. So when you have 11100 TLC, it indicates the possibility of a certain infection in your body that the immune system fights against, which makes your stomach ache. Be sure to consume enough liquids, and light foods, and sleep well. When the pain doesn't go away or worsen, go to a gastroenterologist for treatment.

I have got hemorrhoids this id out side from backbum not in side

Male | 26

You might have external hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are blood vessels downright back near your passage that can be sore and itchy. They can be caused by the straining of bowel movements, obesity, or pregnancy. The application of warm baths, over-the-counter creams, and fiber-rich foods are some of the ways to help with the symptoms. It's important to check with a gastroenterologist if the problem persists.

Male | 23

Drinking alcohol frequently can lead to digestive issues and chest pain. These symptoms may be due to gastritis or acid reflux caused by alcohol irritating your stomach and esophagus. To help alleviate your symptoms, try to reduce or stop drinking alcohol and opt for a healthier diet with smaller meals. Drinking plenty of water can also aid digestion. If the issue persists, please seek medical advice.

Hey .I got my gallbladder removed onthe 3rd October 2022 but I still get pains on right side .I'm always bloated what is scaring me Is i feel like my muscles or nerves are stiff and always in pains.what could cause more unexplainable complications after gallbladder removal and should be done .I go to the doctor they give me ulcer medd and pain blocks

Female | 32

Having lingering discomfort after gallbladder removal isn't unusual. However, ongoing right-side pain might indicate complications. You could potentially be dealing with post-cholecystectomy syndrome. This condition sometimes occurs due to affected bile ducts or digestive troubles. Consulting your gastroenterologist is crucial for relief. Additional tests or medications may be recommended to manage persistent symptoms. Take care!

Male | 38

You're dealing with diarrhea, intense belly pain, feeling weak, and no appetite for a week. That's rough! It might be a stomach bug or food poisoning causing these issues. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of fluids. Stick to plain foods like toast and rice. But if it persists, consult your gastroenterologist right away.

Female | 34

You may have symptoms of gastritis, which is the inflammation of the stomach lining. Stress, some drugs, and H. pylori infection are common causes of this. For relief, eat smaller portions but more frequently., avoid foods that are spicy or high in acid, and try to manage your stress. There’s also ginger tea that can help with nausea. When these signs won’t go away, seek a gastroenterologist's help.

i am a 19 year old female currently about to be 36 weeks pregnant and for the past week ive had horrible diarrhea i did have fevers but they stopped two days ago now only the diarrhea remains and its only gotten worse it seems. ive been to urget care and my obgyn but they haven’t given me the answers im looking for, waiting on some test to come back. my question is my diarrhea has been bright yellow and its been every other hour. since my fever went down ive started getting pain in my stomach everytime i get up and move mainly due to needing to go to the bathroom ( baby is completely fine says the doctors and i do feel her moving the same as before) when i go to use the bathroom its like i cannot get it out only little bits of the diarrhea and now today it is black. so far its like every ten or so minutes my stomach starts hurting and i need to go back but its so swollen and has started to bleed a little bit from so much diarrhea that it really hurts but yet barley any comes out should i try a stool softener?

Female | 19

Bright yellow diarrhea may indicate bile in your stool, while black diarrhea can suggest stomach bleeding. These symptoms could be due to infections or other medical issues that need attention. In my opinion, using a stool softener may not be ideal at this time. It's important to continue following your doctor's advice closely.

How to cure Diarrhea ? I am having loose motions about 4 times a day.

Male | 30

Your body is trying to get rid of something bothering it, like a virus, bacteria, or food that didn't agree with you. To help, drink lots of liquids so you don't get dehydrated. Stick to bland stuff like toast or rice. If it doesn't improve after a couple of days, check with a gastroenterologist.

You might have hemorrhoids. This condition causes itching and bulging around the anus area. Feeling pain when using the toilet is common. An MBBS doctor can help you with this issue. They will guide you on suitable treatments. Different options exist, like medicines, lifestyle changes, or procedures. The treatment depends on how severe your condition is.
