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've just finished a 14-day treatment for H. pylori, and while most of my symptoms are gone, I'm still having stomach issues. Eating out or having chicken seems to upset my stomach, and I end up with loose motions. I'm mostly eating food from a mess, so I'm wondering what kind of diet I should stick to and what types of food I should avoid to prevent this from happening. Can you help me figure out a plan?
After completing an H. pylori treatment, it is important to follow a specific diet to prevent stomach upset and loose motions. You should follow a bland diet that includes easily digestible foods. Here are some dietary recommendations: - Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day - Consume foods that are low in fat and fiber - Include foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet) - Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated - Avoid spicy, greasy, and fried foods - Limit or avoid dairy products, caffeine, and alcohol - Avoid eating outside or in places where food hygiene may be compromised

I've been having back pain, acidity, and chest pain for two days whenever I eat spicy or dairy foods. This has been going on for two years and my doctor found gallbladder calculi, suggesting surgery. I'm really scared about the operation what should I do?
It's understandable to be scared about surgery, especially when dealing with ongoing symptoms like back pain, acidity, and chest pain. Here's a breakdown of what you can do to address your concerns and make informed decisions: Gallstones and their impact: Gallstones can cause pain when they block bile ducts, leading to the symptoms you're experiencing Why surgery is recommended: Your doctor likely recommends surgery because gallstones can cause recurring problems and complications if left untreated

My wife's recent USG showed a gallstone the biggest one is 6.7mm. She doesn't have any pain, but she's lost a lot of weight, down to 56 kg over the last 6 months. Does she need surgery, or will medicine be enough? Also, could the stone be causing her weight loss, and how can she regain the weight she's lost?
A 6.7 mm gallstone without pain rarely needs surgery; weight loss is unlikely from the stone—focus on nutrition and rule out other causes.
