Question 1

I'm a bit concerned about my latest USG report. It mentions hepatomegaly with mild fatty changes, grade 1, and also notes that my uterus is bulky. I'm not really sure what this means for my health. Could this be something serious or is it fairly common? Would love to understand what steps I might need to take or any lifestyle changes that could help.

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and lifestyle habits, here are some possible explanations:

_Possible Causes_

1. _Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)_: Your symptoms of regular gas, watery or semi-solid stool, and loose motions after consuming chilly food are consistent with IBS.
2. _Food intolerance_: You may be experiencing intolerance to certain foods, such as dairy, gluten, or spicy foods.
3. _Gut sensitivity_: Your gut may be sensitive to certain foods or temperatures, leading to digestive issues.

_Recommendations_

1. _Keep a food diary_: Track your food intake and symptoms to identify potential trigger foods.
2. _Avoid trigger foods_: If you notice certain foods exacerbate your symptoms, try to avoid them.
3. _Probiotics_: Consider adding probiotics to your diet to promote gut health.
4. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult a specialist for personalized guidance.

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned about my recent colonoscopy results. The report mentions bits of colonic mucosa with dense patches of lymphocytes and a diagnosis of non-specific colitis. It also says there's no distortion of cryptitis or crypt abscess, and no granulomas were found. Can you tell me what this all means and suggest a treatment plan?

Accepted Answer

Based on your colonoscopy report, the diagnosis of non-specific colitis indicates inflammation of the colon without a specific identifiable cause; treatment typically involves symptomatic relief and may include anti-diarrheal medications like loperamide, antispasmodics like dicyclomine, andor probiotics to manage symptoms;

Question 3

I've been diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and I'm currently taking the prescribed medication. I'm a bit confused and worried because I was diagnosed just by the doctor looking into my throat. Is that normal for an LPR diagnosis? My symptoms include frequent coughing, a lot of saliva, and irritation in my throat. I'm particularly concerned about the redness in my throat. Is that a common symptom of LPR? How long does it usually take for my throat to heal from this condition? The doctor advised me to take RABESEC D SR once daily for 20 days, but I'm still feeling anxious about all this. Also, is it okay to take Gaviscon Peppermint? I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm quite concerned about my health.
