Question 1

I'm really struggling with IBS, and it's been about five years now. I had a colonoscopy three years ago, but it didn't show anything. I've tried Colospa and some other medications, but nothing seems to be helping. I have diarrhea and then normal stool, but it's happening like five to six times a day. Lately, I've been experiencing a burning sensation after using the bathroom, and it lasts for an hour or two. It's really concerning, and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice?

Accepted Answer

Given your symptoms:_

1. _Episodic vertigo_: Your vertigo episodes last 3-4 seconds, triggered by changes in movement.
2. _Morning exacerbation_: Vertigo worsens in the morning, making it difficult to stand properly.

_Consider the following:_

1. _Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)_: Your symptoms suggest BPPV, a common inner ear disorder.
2. _Inner ear problems_: Despite a normal CT scan, inner ear issues like labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis might be contributing to your vertigo.
3. _Vitamin deficiencies_: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or vitamin D might exacerbate vertigo symptoms.

_Current treatment:_

1. _Vitcofol, Neurobian Forte, Stmetile, Verin 16_: These medications are often used to treat vertigo, but their effectiveness varies.

_Recommended next steps:_

1. _Consult an ENT specialist or a neurologist_: Seek a specialist's opinion to determine the underlying cause of your vertigo.
2. _Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT)_: VRT can help improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms.
3. _Consider canalith repositioning procedure (CRP)_: If diagnosed with BPPV, CRP can help alleviate symptoms.

Question 2

I'm experiencing some issues and could really use some advice. Every time I masturbate, I end up with gastric and digestive problems. It's puzzling and a bit concerning. On top of that, my skin has gotten rough, and I've noticed a few small pimples popping up. I've been having this habit for a long time, around 67 years, and now do it about once a week. I'm really trying to break this cycle, but I keep failing. Can you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do?

Question 3

I've been having some issues for about a month now with not being able to completely pass my stools. Even when I try hard, it feels like my bowels aren't getting fully emptied, and I'm constantly feeling tired and sleepy. There's also this pain that's been persistent in my legs, right side of my stomach, and back area. I've noticed I'm coughing more often than usual too. Sometimes my lips feel a little burnt, and I keep getting this odd taste in my mouth. I often feel the urge to have a bowel movement, but when I get to the bathroom, the feeling just slows down. I can't seem to pass gas completely either, and it's like I can feel the gas moving around in my stomach. What could be causing all this?

Accepted Answer

-It sounds like you're dealing with constipation, fatigue, and digestive issues, possibly related to a blockage or slow digestion. The pain in your legs, stomach, and back, along with increased coughing and discomfort with gas, could be signs of digestive

I'm a bit concerned about my liver function test results. My SGPT value is 49, bilirubin total is 1.66, and bilirubin indirect is 1.47. The fibrosis value with liver stiffness is 6.3. Should I be worried about these numbers? What steps should I take next?
