Gastroenterology

I am a 29-year-old male, 5'10", and my weight has dropped from 57 kg to 53.75 kg over the last 4 weeks. I have blood and black stool only 1 time 2 weeks ago.I have no blood or black stools now, but earlier I had some gastric issues like burping, and mild nausea. Stool frequency is usually 1–2 times a day, sometimes yellow or dark brown. Appetite has been low but is slowly improving. I recently had a CECT scan and basic blood tests which seemed okay. My questions: 1. Could this weight loss be due to gastritis or malabsorption? 2. Can stress and anxiety also lead to such weight fluctuations?

I often feel bloated and stomach filled with gas and frequent gas blowing out too.. what could be the reason and how to reduce the same ..

Cramps in stomach. Urgent to stool. Mucus in stool . Sometimes white sometimes red. Heaviness in right lower abdomen.

Sir, I am experiencing fullness ONLY in right side of stomach as if if is stretched or pressure,  since last few months. It is not persistent, it comes and go...whenever it happens, it last for around 4-5 days and it goes...and again it happens... Consulted Gastroenterology, on first instance he gave me Nexpro 40, and told me to do 3 tests- 1) XRay Abdomen 2) USG Abdomen 3) Endoscopy with Biopsy I have done above 2 test Xray and USG Abdomen which came  Normal. Doctor is firm to go for endoscopy as well to rule out. Please let me know if it is necessary for endoscopy even if reports are normal If yes then endoscopy or endoscopy with biopsy. Pls let me know.. Also possible reasons for such fullness and strech in stomach right side.pls

My brother is 28 years old and has been having epileptic seizures. After starting the medications prescribed—Clobazam 10 mg and Topiramate 100 mg—his seizures have stopped However, he’s now experiencing some serious side effects. He feels very drowsy all the time, almost like he's intoxicated. He stays sleepy, sluggish, and his body has become weak and very thin. The biggest concern right now is that he hasn't been able to pass stool properly for the past Month. He can’t sit for a bowel movement, and it's coming out very slowly on its own. This is causing him a lot of discomfort. ??

If there are any new allopathic medicine for effective treatment of ulcerative colitis. Currently I am taking medicines like mesacol and occasionally prednisolone depending on severity. Basically I am trying to look for non steroid medicines which can give  quick relief.

My father's direct bilirubin is 0.34 mg/ dL. Reports indicates its higher than the normal level. He drinks alcohol. What is the meaning of this? Is it a liver damage? ( his serum creatinine is lower than the normal level)

My husband has undergone fistulectomy on April 17 2025 . Most of his surgical wounds have got healed  but a small area is still not healed. There is not much pain in that area but a little yellowish fluid is there in that area . I think that might be because of sweat.. After 15 days of surgery we went for a review the doc gave genticyn injection for 5 days he took that also. Even after that, the wound is still there and there is not much improvement. Can you please prescribe some ointment which can help to fasten the curing process.

Recently I did an abdomen USG and there it was found that- Eechogenecity seen in liver, S/O hepatic calcification. The doctor told me it is nothing to worry about and no treatment needed as of now. I have joint issues for which I take calcium tablets. I want to know that is the calcium tablets causing hepatic calcification? What is the cause of the hepatic calcification? Can I continue to take the calcium tablets for my joint issues without worry of increase in hepatic calcification? Pls advise.
