Health Q&A
Constipation

I have constipation issue since years. But since sometime I am facing fecal impaction kind of thing. Stool is not coming out on its own. It use to happen sometime earlier but since last 10 days i am taking mepreat, I can't pass stool in the noon. I took (glycerine suppository and lexapeg) same day for 2 alternative days. Now I am not able to pass morning stool as well. Earlier atleast morning stool was passed but stuck feeling was there. I have too much gas. No bloating, vommiting or pain but not no stool passing as well. I am drinking 2 liter water atleast per day. Eating also less. Should I take glycerine suppository and lexapeg more? I don't want to be dependent on that.

Pain stiffness and pressure in anal area

It feels as if passing a little more stool would relieve the pressure, but no more stool comes out. I also have a dull aching pain and a feeling of pressure or tightness inside the rectal/anal area. My stool is generally soft, and I do not have bleeding

Persistent Acidity and Digestive Issues

I am a 30-year-old male experiencing frequent acidity and digestive discomfort for the past few weeks. I often feel a burning sensation in the stomach and chest, especially after eating spicy, oily, or heavy meals. Sometimes I experience bloating, excessive gas, sour belching, and a feeling of fullness even after eating a small quantity of food. The symptoms are more noticeable at night or when lying down after meals. I occasionally feel nausea and mild stomach discomfort but have not noticed vomiting or blood in stools. Temporary relief is obtained with antacids, but the symptoms keep recurring. I would like to know the possible cause, whether this could be gastritis, acid reflux (GERD), or another digestive condition, what investigations may be required, and the most effective treatment along with dietary and lifestyle modifications to achieve long-term relief.

Mouth ulcer, constipation, joint pain

I am facing recurrent mouth ulcers (mouth, throat) and constipation from childhood. I also have occasional joint pain in most of the joints. Please suggest blood test that I should take to rule out issue.

Outside food, oily food undigested

Whenever I continue to eat for 2 days outside of food or outside non veg or more oily and spicy food at home, they get me sick like either getting a stomach ache with bloating or loose stools. Is this due to the gastric problem only? Or something else?
