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've been having this issue where I feel a strong urge to pass stool, but once I'm actually on the toilet, it just doesn't fully evacuate. It's like I can go a little, but then something seems to block it. It ends up happening in bits over the day, like 3 or 4 times. Is this something I should be worried about, like why can't I just get it all out in one go?

My mom's been having some pain in her upper abdomen for the past few days. It only seems to happen when we press around that area or if she does some unusual movements. I'm really worried about what's going on there. Could it be something serious or should we just wait it out?
Your mother may be experiencing some musculoskeletal pain in her upper abdomen. This type of pain can be due to muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend she take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I have multiple 8mm stones in my gallbladder is there any way to get rid of them without surgery or operation
Gallbladder stones, especially multiple 8mm ones, usually do not dissolve on their own and can cause pain or complications. Non-surgical options like oral bile acid pills (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid) have limited effectiveness and are rarely successful for stones this size. Surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) remains the most effective and permanent treatment.
