I'm Rajesh and I've been having this abdominal pain on the left side of my belly button for about 4 years now. I did a colonoscopy and endoscopy and they told me it's IBS. But just last week, I had an ultrasound and they found a 3mm gallbladder polyp. I'm really worried about it and it's making it hard for me to focus on work. Is this something dangerous? What should I do?

A 3mm gallbladder polyp is generally not dangerous, but regular monitoring is important. No immediate treatment is typically required, but keep an eye on any changes in symptoms. Managing IBS and discussing your stress with your doctor can help improve your overall well-being.

Question

I've been feeling something really weird on the left side, just below my ribs for the past three months. It's like a mix of pain, ticklish sensations, and bubbling. At one point, I thought maybe I'd torn a muscle, so I rushed to emergency. They did an ECG, checked my blood pressure, and even took an X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm on some meds that the doctor gave me from the GD Diabetes Centre like Voveran SR, Pan D, and Trinerve 75. But still, when I touch the area, it hurts a bit, and when I don't, it feels ticklish and painful at the same time. Any idea what's going on or if I should be concerned?

Question

I'm experiencing upper abdomen pain and loose motions, and my family doctor said it might be because of the augmentin 625 tablets I'm taking. I started using BIFILAC as he suggested, and it worked, but whenever I stop taking it, the loose motions come back. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm new to Bangalore, and I'm wondering if it's the change in food that's causing this. Could you help me figure out what's happening?

Question

I've been having this problem with vomiting for the past four days, and no food seems to be getting digested. Ive already taken some medicine, but it hasn't helped much. I've also got my blood test report with me. What should I do next?
