I've had GERD for three years and now my doctor is recommending surgery. I'm trying to figure out whether laparoscopic fundoplication or endoscopic surgery would be better for me. What are the pros and cons of each option?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my recent colonoscopy results. The report mentions bits of colonic mucosa with dense patches of lymphocytes and a diagnosis of non-specific colitis. It also says there's no distortion of cryptitis or crypt abscess, and no granulomas were found. Can you tell me what this all means and suggest a treatment plan?
Based on your colonoscopy report, the diagnosis of non-specific colitis indicates inflammation of the colon without a specific identifiable cause; treatment typically involves symptomatic relief and may include anti-diarrheal medications like loperamide, antispasmodics like dicyclomine, andor probiotics to manage symptoms;

I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?
Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.
