Why do I feel weak after pooping?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Weakness after defecation is due to vaso vagal reaction. When you tense abdominal muscles or strain to pass stool, vagus nerve is stimulated which decreases the heart rate. Also, blood flow to the heart decreases causing the blood pressure to drop. Hence, decreased heart rate with drop in blood pressure together makes you light headed or weak after passing stool.

View allI've been having some pain in my testicles, so I went in for an ultrasound yesterday. The results showed that I have a fatty liver grade 1. I'm a little worried and wondering if this is something I can fix or if it's more serious. Can you give me some advice on whether it's curable and what steps I should take?
In your case, having grade 1 fatty liver is a reversible condition. The main treatment for fatty liver disease includes lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, weight loss, and avoiding alcohol consumption. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your condition.

My father has a 9mm CBD stone and has been having abdomen pain and jaundice for the last three days. Can this be treated without surgery or is surgery the only option? What are the alternatives?
CBD stones with jaundice usually need ERCP or surgery—delaying may cause serious complications.
