I'm really concerned about this problem I've been having for the last six months. Every time I press on my lower abdomen, it feels like my intestines are being pushed out, and it hurts. After I eat, there's this groaning pain in my stomach and the whole area feels really uncomfortable. I've also been dealing with a lot of indigestion. Could you help me understand what's going on and what kind of treatment I should look into?

try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..Increasing your fiber intake will help promote soft and bulky stool and may relive your symptoms...Foods that are fiber-rich include beans, fruits, whole grains, beans and vegetables

View allI recently had an abdominal ultrasound, and the report said I have fatty liver infiltration with some focal fat sparing spots in front of the gall bladder. What does this mean? Should I be worried or change my diet or anything?

I'm really worried because an ultrasound has shown that I have a 6mm gallbladder stone, and there's also an infection. I've been having really bad pain in my abdomen and feeling nauseous all the time. What do you think I should do about it? Is this something I need to urgently take care of, or are there ways to manage this without surgery?
I understand your concern, and I'm here to provide you with some reassurance and guidance. _Masturbation and Penis Size_ Masturbation, in itself, does not cause a decrease in penis size or width. However, frequent and aggressive masturbation can lead to: 1. _Desensitization_: Reduced sensitivity due to over-stimulation. 2. _Inflammation_: Mild inflammation or irritation, which can cause temporary swelling or changes in penis size. _Thinning and Shortening of the Penis_ The thinning and shortening you've observed could be due to various factors, such as: 1. _Normal fluctuations_: Penis size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, and overall health. 2. _Erectile dysfunction_: Infrequent or inconsistent erections can cause the penis to appear smaller. 3. _Peyronie's disease_: A condition characterized by the formation of scar tissue, leading to curvature or shortening of the penis. 4. _Other medical conditions_: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or hormone imbalances, can affect penis size. _What to Do_ To alleviate your concerns: 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with a urologist or a primary care physician to discuss your concerns and rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. _Reduce masturbation frequency_: Try to reduce your masturbation frequency to 2-3 times a week to give your penis time to recover. 3. _Practice gentle masturbation techniques_: Avoid aggressive or rough handling of your penis during masturbation. 4. _Maintain a healthy lifestyle_: Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management to promote overall health and well-being.

I've been having some pain that's really bothering me, and I can't figure out if it's something serious. I'm 33, female, about 165 cm tall, and weigh 64 kg. Recently, I've been dealing with chest and upper back pain. It's weird because I feel really sharp pain when I lie down, but when I'm sitting up straight or walking, I don't notice it at all. It almost feels like there's something stuck in my throat, and when I swallow my saliva, the pain shoots to the center of my chest and then over to the right side and into my upper back. I also end up burping a lot and have the urge to pass stools when this pain kicks in. If I pay close attention, it seems like the pain starts on my back's right side and radiates to my chest. Is this something related to my heart?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), rather than a heart-related issue. The sensation of something stuck in your throat, pain when swallowing saliva, chest pain that radiates to the right side, upper back pain, and frequent burping are all common symptoms of acid reflux. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids such as Tums or Rolaids to help alleviate your symptoms. You can also try lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods (spicy, acidic, fatty foods), eating smaller meals, avoiding lying down immediately after eating, and raising the head of your bed. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
