I've been really constipated and my USG showed gaseous distension in the stomach are there any treatments besides medicines to get rid of the gas? Like, could surgery or something else help? It's pretty urgent and I'm not sure what to do
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For gaseous distension and constipation, lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, hydration, and regular exercise can help. Surgery is rarely needed unless there’s a structural issue causing the gas retention.

I've been dealing with IBS for the past 5 years, and honestly, it's been really tough. The symptoms like bowel discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, and constantly feeling like I need to go to the bathroom but can't, are just exhausting. I've done the endoscopy and colonoscopy, and my doctor confirmed it's IBS. They gave me some meds to try for 15 days, but unfortunately, I didn't feel any better. Is there any way to permanently treat this condition?
While there's no definitive "cure" for IBS, various treatments can help manage symptoms; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance, and explore options like gut-directed hypnotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, peppermint oil capsules, probiotics, fiber supplements, and low-FODMAP diets, which have shown promise in alleviating IBS symptoms, and in some cases, medications like antispasmodics, antidepressants, or laxatives may be prescribed to help manage specific symptoms.
