I've been dealing with GERD and gas issues for 10 years now and my doctor suggested nissen fundoplication surgery would this surgery actually help me or are there other options I should consider first
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Nissen fundoplication can be effective for GERD resistant to meds. Discuss surgical risks, especially gas-bloat syndrome. If meds work well, surgery isn’t urgent.

View allI'm a bit worried because I've noticed blood in my stool for the past two days. What could be causing this and what should I do to take care of myself?
Passing blood in stool, also known as hematochezia, can be caused by various factors, including: constipation, anal fissures, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colon cancer, or gastrointestinal infections; to care for yourself, drink plenty of water, eat a high-fiber diet, avoid straining during bowel movements, and consider taking a stool softener or fiber supplement; however, if bleeding persists, worsens, or is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever, seek immediate medical attention to rule out underlying conditions that require prompt treatment.
