I've been dealing with nausea, stomach pressure, acidity, and weight loss even though I've been eating normally. Recently, after getting an upper endoscopy, they found I have antral gastritis and tested positive for H. pylori. So, I'm on Nexpro L, Gaviscon syrup, an H. pylori treatment kit, and a probiotic. It's been 8 days on these meds, with another week to go. While my symptoms have improved and I'm feeling better, I'm still dropping weight. I'm really confused and a bit worried why this is happening. Could it be because of the H. pylori infection? Once the treatment's over, will I be able to gain weight back? I used to weigh around 71 kg last year; now I'm down to 65.5 kg. I also have piles, and it's kind of freaking me out. How should I approach gaining weight again?

View allI've got this small echogenic foci in my gallbladder that's 2.9mm and it's sticking to the anterior wall. My doctor suggested I take Nexpro RD40 capsules, and I've been on them for over 45 days. But every time I try stopping them, I get this burning feeling in my stomach. Any ideas on what I should do?

I accidentally swallowed a small piece of a toothpick, probably about a quarter of it, and now my throat feels a bit strange. I dont have any other symptoms, but I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about this? What should I do?
Since you've swallowed a small piece of toothpick and aren't experiencing severe symptoms, monitor your condition closely, and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any signs of intestinal perforation, such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or difficulty breathing; however, if your symptoms remain mild, it's likely the toothpick fragment will pass through your system without issue.

I'm a bit worried because after I masturbate, I can't seem to poop, and there was blood at the end when I finished. What could be going on here, and should I be concerned about this?
I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It could be due to pressure or irritation, but seeing blood is a concern. If it's just a small amount and resolves quickly, it might not be serious, but I strongly recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.
