I'm a bit worried because during a routine check-up, the real-time pelvis ultrasound showed mild splenomegaly. Could you tell me what steps I should take to manage this? Should I be doing anything specific, like taking certain precautions or medications? I'm looking for a bit of guidance here.

View allI'm experiencing some itching and a sensation of something pinching in my anus, but I can't see anything there. It mostly happens when I'm sitting or if I'm walking quickly. What could be causing this?
Your symptoms suggest anal itching (pruritus ani) or rectal pain, possibly due to hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or levator ani syndrome, exacerbated by pressure from sitting or walking; consult a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about my health and could use some advice. I've been dealing with Spleenomegaly and Portal Vein Hypertension for the past four years, and on top of that, I've got esophagus varices. I recently had EVL banding done twice, but honestly, I haven't noticed any improvement. I'm just not active at all, and it's really bothering me. Can you help me understand the root cause of all this and what might be a permanent solution?
refer to gastroenterologist and get an endoscopy done

I'm really puzzled right now. I recently finished a course of Flagyl for what my gi doctor suspected was giardia since I was having diarrhea, stomach pains, and nausea. So today, I had a plain hamburger with some ketchup and cheetos, and my diarrhea came back for about 2 hours. I'm trying to figure out why this happened. Could it be something about the food I ate, or is there another issue I might be dealing with?
The return of diarrhea after eating could be related to the foods you ate or your bodys ongoing recovery from the giardiasis infection. Monitor your symptoms and adjust your diet accordingly. If symptoms dont improve or if they worsen, consider following up with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues or complications.
