Masturbation is not inherently harmful to individuals with ulcerative colitis. However, its important to listen to your body and be mindful of how it affects your overall well-being. If you experience any negative impact on your UC symptoms, it might be helpful to adjust your habits and consult with a healthcare provider.

I've been having some issues since my C-section delivery about 10 days ago. I've noticed a mild constipation problem, but today was kind of alarming. I had stool twice, and the first one was a bit painful, but the second time, a few hours later, I noticed blood in my stool. My stool still feels pretty hard, and I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any advice on how to fix this?

Hey, I was wondering if it's normal for someone to release gas about 50 times a day without any stomach pain. But there's this weird thing: whenever the muscle twitching stops, there's pain in the stomach. Could these be related? What could be going on here?

Can you tell me if there's a surgery to stop bile from flowing into the stomach? I've been having issues and want to know what options are out there

Yes, there are surgical options to address bile reflux and prevent bile from flowing into the stomach. These procedures typically involve diverting the bile flow or strengthening the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to prevent it from leaking bile.
