I've been dealing with constipation for about a year now, and it's been really tough. I end up straining a lot, and sometimes a small part of my rectum sticks out after I use the bathroom. It's kind of worrying because I can push it back in, but it still causes some pain, especially when I'm sitting. I also feel like I need to go to the bathroom around six times a day, which is pretty embarrassing and scary. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this without having to go through surgery. Any advice would be super helpful.

My mom is 60 and she's having issues with her intestines being trapped and swollen. I'm really worried and need to know how this can be treated. It's quite urgent. Could you help me understand what steps we should take?
Intestinal obstruction can be a serious medical condition, especially in older adults. The treatment for intestinal obstruction typically involves hospitalization and may include intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration, nasogastric suction to decompress the intestines, and potentially surgery to remove the blockage. In some cases, medications such as laxatives or enemas may be used to help clear the obstruction. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect intestinal obstruction, as it can lead to serious complications if left untreated. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm experiencing some issues and would appreciate your guidance. Since yesterday, I've been having loose motions and sour burps. Yesterday was toughI had a lot of stomach pain and just slept through most of the day, but the symptoms didn't seem to persist into the evening. However, today, as soon as I woke up, the loose motions started again with those same sour burps. Is this something serious or should I be worried enough to make a doctor's appointment? What could be causing these symptoms?
Given your situation, it's essential to consider the risks and benefits of immediate versus delayed surgery. *Risks of Delayed Surgery* 1. *Increased risk of complications*: A 17 mm stone is considered large, and delaying surgery may lead to complications, such as: - Gallstone pancreatitis - Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) - Jaundice 2. *Potential for stone growth*: The stone may continue to grow, making it more challenging to remove and increasing the risk of complications. 3. *Risk of gallbladder cancer*: Although rare, a large stone like yours may increase the risk of gallbladder cancer. *Benefits of Immediate Surgery* 1. *Reduced risk of complications*: Removing the stone and gallbladder now can prevent potential complications. 2. *Less risk of stone growth*: Removing the stone now will prevent it from growing larger and causing more problems. 3. *Improved quality of life*: Surgery can alleviate anxiety and concerns about potential complications. *Recommendation* Considering your age and the size of the stone, it's recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. The risks of delayed surgery outweigh the benefits of waiting.
