I'm suffering from severe gastroparesis and the pain is unbearable all the time. Are there any surgical options available in India for this condition and where can I get treated?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, surgical options are available in India for severe gastroparesis, but they are generally considered as a last resort after other treatments have failed. The most common surgical procedures include jejunostomy tube placement, gastric venting tube placement, and in severe cases, even a gastrectomy.

View allI'm having a lot of trouble with gas choking near my heart when I have dinner at 9 pm. It's making it really hard for me to sleep. Whenever I try to rest, I wake up feeling uncomfortable around my heart. I'm also smoking about 4 cigarettes a day. Could this be causing these issues? What should I do?
It sounds like you might be experiencing acid reflux or indigestion, which can cause discomfort near your heart, especially after a late meal. Smoking can also contribute to this. Try to avoid heavy meals before bed and consider quitting smoking for better heart and digestive health. If the discomfort persists, its important to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I have multiple gallstones measuring 45 mm and I'm wondering if surgery is my only option right now. I've been sticking to a diet of just carrots, cucumbers, oranges, and apples with no other food can this kind of diet along with medication actually help dissolve the stones or should I consider other treatments?
healthy diet can help manage gallbladder symptoms and reduce the risk of new gallstone formation, it's unlikely to dissolve existing gallstones, especially those as large as 45mm. Surgery is often the recommended treatment for larger gallstones and those causing persistent pain or complications

I'm having a weird issue where I don't feel the urge to go for a motion in the morning like I used to. However, by the time evening rolls around, I find myself needing to go. What could be causing this change in my routine? Should I be worried about this sudden shift in my digestive habits?
Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals..... Exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week... Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Take your time in the bathroom, allowing yourself enough time to have a bowel movement without distractions and without feeling rushed.....
