How can I clear my bowels every morning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated is a great way to regulate digestion. People who support a water flush for colon cleansing recommend drinking six to eight glasses of lukewarm water per day. Also try eating plenty of foods high in fiber & water content. This includes fruits and vegetables like watermelons, tomatoes, lettuce, and celery.

View allI had a lap appendectomy a while back in June 2021, and recently I've been getting this pain on the right side of my abdomen, back, and even my groin area. I had a CT scan done, and it showed something called non-specific lymphadenopathy. I'm pretty worried about what this could mean. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take next?
Post-COVID-19 Nose Bleeding and Hemoptysis _Possible Causes_ 1. _Dry air_: Dry air can cause nasal dryness, leading to bleeding. 2. _Nasal mucosa damage_: COVID-19 can cause damage to the nasal mucosa, leading to bleeding. 3. _Increased blood pressure_: COVID-19 can cause increased blood pressure, which may lead to nose bleeding. 4. _Pulmonary embolism_: Although rare, pulmonary embolism can cause hemoptysis (coughing up blood). 5. _Pulmonary infarction_: COVID-19 can cause pulmonary infarction, leading to hemoptysis. _Other Possible Conditions_ 1. _Sinusitis_: COVID-19 can cause sinusitis, leading to nose bleeding and headache. 2. _Allergic rhinitis_: Allergies can cause nasal congestion, leading to nose bleeding. _Recommended Actions_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a pulmonologist to rule out underlying conditions. 2. _Monitor symptoms_: Keep track of your symptoms, including the frequency and severity of nose bleeding and hemoptysis. 3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to keep your nasal passages and airways hydrated. 4. _Use a humidifier_: Dry air can exacerbate nose bleeding; using a humidifier can help maintain a healthy moisture level. _When to Seek Emergency Care_ 1. _Heavy bleeding_: If you experience heavy bleeding that doesn't stop after 10-15 minutes. 2. _Severe headache_: If you experience a severe headache, confusion, or difficulty speaking. 3. _Chest pain_: If you experience chest pain or difficulty breathing.

I had a CT scan of my abdomen and pelvis that showed a scrotal hernia but my small bowel looks normal is it okay to get an endoscopy done to check for other stomach issues before going ahead with the hernia surgery
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm a bit worried because I just got my liver function tests back, and it says my SGPT level is 111.4 and SGOT level is 90.17. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Is there something serious going on?
Your SGPT and SGOT levels are elevated, but this doesnt necessarily point to a serious issue. It's important to investigate the cause with your doctor. Early detection and lifestyle changes can often help manage and reverse mild liver dysfunction.
