Question 1

My wife Rita Datta is 58 and from Kolkata. She's been dealing with indigestion and loss of appetite, which has led to a lot of weight loss. A gastroenterologist at Peerless Hospital suggested an USG, and the report showed a large mass pushing her left kidney and spleen. They recommended a CT scan, which we did, and the gastrosurgeon advised immediate surgery. We've attached all the reports could you take a look and let us know what you think? We're really worried and not sure what the next steps should be

Accepted Answer

I can understand your concern. You haven't attached any reports as such with this question here. Also, why did you change doctors? And if immediate surgery is required, then i think you should get the surgery done. Consult a gastroenterologist in person for further evaluation and management

Question 2

I'm really worried about my wife. It's been about two months since she had our baby, and she's having really bad pain in her upper abdomen and back. We got an ultrasound done, and it showed multiple stones. Last month, she had a severe pain attack, and she's still having mild pain in her upper abdomen and between her ribs. Is removing the gallbladder the only solution, or are there other options we should consider? Would love some guidance on what we can do.

Accepted Answer

Given your wife's severe pain, multiple gallstones, and recurrent attacks, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) may be the most effective treatment option

Question 3

For the past week, I've been having this constant gas issue, and for the last three days, I've needed to go to the bathroom three times in the morning. The first two times are fine, but the last one is pretty loose. I'm not sure if this is just from gas or if it counts as loose motion. Could you let me know what might be going on and whether it's okay to take Vitazyme capsules for this?
