I'm really worried because I noticed blood in my saliva today, and I'm not even coughing. A month ago, I also saw blood after I vomited. What could this mean and what should I do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Spitting blood in saliva without coughing or vomiting blood can be concerning. This could be due to various reasons such as gum disease, oral trauma, or gastrointestinal issues. Since you have also experienced vomiting with blood in the past, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. You may need to undergo further investigations such as endoscopy to determine the cause of the bleeding. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter antacids like Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid and protect the stomach lining. However, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I'm dealing with gas and flatulence a lot, like up to 14 times a day for the last three months. My health's pretty good otherwiseall my health check-ups came back normal. I'm 44 years old, weigh 81 kg, and I'm about 5'10". However, about a month ago, I noticed a bit of blood when I was cleaning up after a bowel movement. I went to see a surgeon, and they said I have second-grade external piles. Could the flatulence be causing the piles? What kind of treatment or medicine should I be considering? I work a middle-management job that involves mostly sitting at a desk and some traveling. Right now, I'm using pilorute cream twice a day and taking 15 ml of lactulose at night. Any advice would be really helpful.
No need to worry follow your doctors advice and consume high fibre diet and plenty of water,iif its bothering you much get operated and get them removed.

I've recently been told I have grade 1 fatty liver, and I used to have irritable bowel syndrome. I've been on antibiotics for a liver infection for a few days. I'm experiencing pain in my liver area from the infection, but there's also a constant pain in my abdomen, especially when I press on it, and sometimes even without pressing. This has been going on for months. What could be causing this pain? I had an ultrasound, and it only showed the liver problem. I really want to understand what's going on so it can be treated. Can you help?
The persistent abdominal pain, despite antibiotics for liver infection, could be related to your pre-existing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as fatty liver disease and IBS often co-exist; other possible causes may include inflammation, scarring, or adhesions from past liver or abdominal issues; consider consulting a gastroenterologist to investigate further and develop a comprehensive treatment plan addressing both your fatty liver and IBS symptoms.
