Why do I feel like pooping but nothing comes out?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It can be because of lack of fibre in diet and some intestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Try to include high fiber foods such as Pears, strawberries, apple, oat meal, brown rice, banana, broccoli, green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), avocado, carrots, tomato, beans and sweet potato in diet and take plenty of fluids.If issue still persist then consult a doctor.

View allI recently went for a check-up and they found my spleen was enlarged at 13 cm and I have a grade 1 fatty liver. I did a bunch of tests like for malaria, typhoid, diabetes, thyroid, hepatitis B and C, ANA, and lipid profile, and everything came back normal except my bilirubin level is at 1.6 and my SGOT SGPT is around 5990. After sticking to regular exercise and a better diet for 50 days, I lost 6 kg, going from 87 to 81 kg. I still don't have any other symptoms but I feel some pain in my spleen area and now it's 14 cm in the ultrasound. I'm taking Udiliv 300 and vitamin E, but I've talked to a lot of doctors and still don't really understand why my spleen is enlarged. Can you help clarify what's going on?

I'm a bit worried about my bilirubin levels since I noticed some mild variations in my latest report. Could you take a look at my results attached here? My total bilirubin is 1.53, with a direct bilirubin of 0.3 and an indirect level of 1.23. Also, my AST (SGOT) is 53 and AST (SGPT) is 77. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it within normal ranges?

My mom is 60 and she's having issues with her intestines being trapped and swollen. I'm really worried and need to know how this can be treated. It's quite urgent. Could you help me understand what steps we should take?
Intestinal obstruction can be a serious medical condition, especially in older adults. The treatment for intestinal obstruction typically involves hospitalization and may include intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration, nasogastric suction to decompress the intestines, and potentially surgery to remove the blockage. In some cases, medications such as laxatives or enemas may be used to help clear the obstruction. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect intestinal obstruction, as it can lead to serious complications if left untreated. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
