I've been feeling really concerned lately and I'm hoping you can help. I don't quite understand the difference between erosions and ulcers. What can actually cause these issues? And most importantly, how can I treat or cure them?

View allI accidentally swallowed a housefly the other day and my friend told me that it could lay eggs inside my body. I'm really worried about this. Is there a chance that something bad could happen? Can you help me understand if I should be concerned or not?
Accidentally swallowing a housefly is unlikely to cause any harm. The acids in your stomach will most likely break down the fly. There is no need to worry about the fly laying eggs in your body. Just drink plenty of water to help flush it out of your system. If you experience any unusual symptoms, please consult a doctor.

I'm 27 now but had my uterus removed at 25 and gallbladder surgery 2 years ago. Been having mucus in my stool which makes me scared to eat anything - I've gotten really weak and medicines don't seem to help. What could be causing this and how can I improve my condition?
Try to have a routine for yourself Be happy dont think about past

I've been noticing blood mixed with mucus in my stool and had a capsule endoscopy that showed duodenal and proximal jejunal lymphangiectasia along with small bowel erosions. My sigmoidoscopy also found areas of hyperemia and superficial ulcers in the rectum. Earlier CT scans showed clumped ileal loops, but after surgery, the obstruction cleared though there's still mild wall thickening, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, and a bit of straw-colored free fluid in the abdomen. Could this be IBD like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis? And what exactly is lymphangiectasia?
gastroenterology opinion is advised.
