Can you reverse redundant colon without surgery and what treatments are available for it
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Redundant colon, or dolichocolon, is a condition where the colon is longer than normal, creating extra loops and folds, which can sometimes cause symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation. While surgery is sometimes necessary to address severe cases or complications, many people can live with a redundant colon without needing intervention. In some cases, nonsurgical options like decompression procedures or lifestyle changes can be used to manage symptoms.

View allI've been dealing with constant diarrhea for the last couple of days, and even though I'm taking loperamide and using O.R.S., it hasn't stopped. Should I be worried? Is there anything else I can do to help stop it?
Persistent diarrhea despite taking loperamide and ORS warrants further attention; consider consulting a gastroenterologist or a primary care physician to rule out underlying causes like bacterial or viral infections, food poisoning, or inflammatory bowel disease; they may prescribe additional medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents, and recommend stool tests, blood work, or other diagnostic procedures to determine the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

I had a tonsillectomy about a month back, and ever since, I've been dealing with constant acid reflux. There's this acidic liquid that seems to keep coming up into my mouth, and it's making me feel like I need to vomit. Could this be related to having my tonsils removed? What should I do about it?
It is possible that your acid reflux symptoms are related to your recent tonsillectomy. The condition is known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) and can occur after throat surgeries like tonsillectomy. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole. Additionally, you can use Gaviscon (antacid) as needed for relief. It is important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
