I've been experiencing really bad stomach pain lately so I went to see a gastroenterologist. They prescribed me LMX 500 and Rabesec 20 for a 5-day course. It's been 3 days now, and I'm still struggling with heavy gas and now a sharp pain in my back. Should I consult my doctor again right away, or is there something I can try at home to help with this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Delayed menstruation can be concerning. Given your symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain and backache, it's possible that your period is imminent. Consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause for the delay. If the test is negative, consult a gynecologist for further evaluation. They may perform an ultrasound or other tests to determine the cause of the delay. In the meantime, track your symptoms and maintain a menstrual calendar to help your doctor diagnose the issue.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my stool patterns. I've noticed that while in the morning it's more solid, in the afternoon and evening it tends to be flat. Could there be any potential reasons for this?

I've been experiencing a lot of gas, pain, and loose stools every morning for about a year and a half now, and I never really feel relaxed after going to the bathroom in the morning. Sometimes in the evening, my stool looks like my food is only partially digested. And it doesn't matter whether I eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner - I feel pressure every time. I'm getting worried and would like to know what's going on with my digestion. What could be causing these symptoms?

Question

I'm a bit worried after my recent full body checkup. The results showed I have Hepatomegaly with Grade 2 fatty liver. My doctor gave me some medicines to help treat it. But when I looked online, I found posts saying it's best to stop taking medicines since they can harm the liver. I'm confused about whether to trust the medication or follow the advice I saw online. Any guidance would be really appreciated.
