Can Ulcerative Colitis Affect Male Sexual Function?
Im wondering if Ulcerative Colitis can affect a man's sexual ability causing ED. Either that or is it possible for UC to cause low testosterone? Is this possible without me taking any medications?

Answered on 23rd May '24
A situation that inflames the colon, ulcerative colitis, can result in symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue. Even though inflammation and stress brought on by UC do not cause directly erectile dysfunction (ED) or low testosterone; they can have an impact on sexual health. The best way forward is to treat UC effectively while also finding ways of reducing stress.

Initially I was facing gas issues with my stomach for quite a few years now especially during the evening time. From almost last 2 years, started to have issues with my chest bloating after eating or drinking and just below the chest in the middle lots of irritation after eating as it feels heavy. Especially at night after dinner even after an hour or more i cannot lie down as the food seems to come up my throat and i start to feel the pain near my esophagus, what should I do? I also have had medicines i.e. Nexium and Lesuride but it only gives relief for some time and then same issue. Please suggest.

You may be experiencing symptoms related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). These conditions can cause discomfort like chest bloating, irritation in the chest area after eating, and difficulty lying down due to regurgitation of food. It's important to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. They can recommend lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and possibly other medications or treatments tailored to your specific condition. Regular follow-ups with your specialist will help in managing and improving your symptoms effectively.

Iam suffering from irritable bowl syndrome
Female | 17
Many people get irritable bowel syndrome, also called IBS. It can make your stomach hurt and cause bloating, loose stool, or hard stool. Things like stress or certain foods might worsen it. Eating smaller meals could assist. Avoiding foods that trigger it, such as spicy items, can be beneficial too. Managing stress helps a lot of people. Drinking lots of water daily and keeping active may ease symptoms for some people.

I am a 26 year old female and I have been suffering from chronic fissure for the last 6 months. I have been on homeopathic medication for last 5 months and I have recovered fully almost but last few days ago I suffered from constipation and due to strain in my bowel movement,the fissure was back with a little pain and pricking discomfort while passing stool.
Female | 26
Fissures are small tears in the lining of the anus and can be extremely painful. Doing this is most effective if you keep your stool soft, drink plenty of water, eat foods that are high in fiber, and use stool softeners if necessary. The bathroom should be straining-free during your period of healing.

I feel a bulge when i press down in my lower left abdomen. I dont feel any pain.
Male | 28
You might be suffering from a hernia in your lower left abdomen. A hernia is a condition in which an organ or a tissue pushes through a weak area in the surrounding muscle. So it is possible that it feels like a bulge when you touch it. Hernias can sometimes be painless, but it's always a good idea to see a doctor to make sure of a diagnosis. Treatment usually includes surgery to repair the hernia. Visit a gastroenterologist to make sure you get the right treatment.

According to the signs you’ve mentioned, it seems that you might’ve overdosed on some drugs particularly paracetamol which can harm the liver. The weight loss along with persistent symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, and fatigue is worrying. You should see a hepatologist immediately so that your liver function can be checked.

I had a colonoscopy on Friday and I am super bloated with major cramps. I also have barely been able to use the restroom since and it hurts to touch my abdomen.
Female | 35
You're having some unpleasant sensations after your colonoscopy. After the procedure, one may feel a little bloated with cramps and experience a difficult time using the restroom. It can be attributed to the air that gets stuck in your colon or the irritation of your intestines. To relieve the discomfort, drink plenty of water, walk around gently, and eat light and easy-to-digest foods like fruits and veggies. Your body needs some time to recover, but if the pain continues or worsens, contact a gastroenterologist for more advice.

It can be gastrointestinal issue since you're experiencing chest pain, stomach pain, and a loss of appetite. Even stress and anxiety causes chest pain. Seek medical attention as soon as possible to properly diagnose and treat your symptoms. Check with a gastroentrologist first.

You could have appendicitis. Your appendix is infected, causing constant pain on the lower right side. Dizziness, high fever, poor appetite, weakness - those symptoms suggest appendicitis. Your infected appendix needs surgical removal immediately, or complications may arise. Visit a gastroenterologist.

Female | 22
You may have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS causes stomach discomfort, nausea, fatigue, constipation, vomiting, intestinal spasms, and painful bowel movements. Flare-ups make test preparation difficult. To manage IBS, eat healthy foods, reduce stress, and stay hydrated. Consult a gastroenterologist for further guidance.

I am 65 years old lady i had my gallbladder operation in the year 2021 the report came out it said I have chronic cholecysticis .Now after drinking milk tea for 21 days I am having sharp needle like pain in my upper right abdomen.
Female | 65
This discomfort may be associated with a condition called chronic cholecystitis which is related to your past problems with the gallbladder. Symptoms of this disease include sharp or needle-like pains felt in the upper right side of the abdomen. To relieve yourself, it would help not taking dairy products and beverages rich in fat. It’s also advisable to see a gastroenterologist for more advice on what to do next.

Swallowed a tiny rubber band? No need to worry! It usually passes through your body without any issues, and you might not even notice it. However, if you experience stomach pain, nausea, or difficulty passing stool, seek medical attention immediately, as it could indicate a blockage.

These irritation types may be the result of gastritis and acid reflux. It's a blessing that your tests came back normal and that you maintain a healthy diet. Since you're still experiencing the same, discuss with your gastroenterologist the possibility of modifying your medication or seeking other treatment options to help manage your symptoms.

What the doctor is saying sounds like there is a problem with passing stool which can be caused if you eat coal. This in turn can cause constipation. Positively, eating more fiber can be of great help in this case. Reject the idea of eating coal and instead drink a lot of water. Eating fiber like fruits and veggies can also help. If the issue persists, go to a gastroenterologist.

Male | 32
You may have a stomach bug. The condition may lead to shivering, stomach pain, and general weakness. The cause of this can be either eating something bad or a virus. It may help to relax, hydrate, and eat bland foods. Greasy and spicy food is preferable to stay away from. If you can, consult a gastroenterologist about medicines that can soothe your stomach.

You may be suffering from a UTI and diarrhea. UTI can cause frequent urination and a feeling of discomfort in the bladder. UTI and diarrhea can sometimes occur simultaneously. A good way to improve your health is by drinking a lot of water and going to the doctor so you can get antibiotics.

You might have experienced a tearing of the anal tissue through the process of passing hard stools. The presence of mucus and blood will show signs of inflammation. You should visit a gastroenterologist specialist for an exam.

The infection fixed but my intestines are now destroyed. The rectum encounters occasional pain (stabbing like) after using the toilet and the stool is covered in mucus. The stool color is dark red/ brown. No diarrhea. Heart pain that radiates to the left arm, probably under reactive inflammatory context. No tachycardia. Do I have to start 250mg vancomycin hydrochloride PO each 6 hours for 7 days? All the doctors in my city are saying that this antibiotic is only for diarrhea people. What should I do? I'm also nauseous. Took fluconazole 3 weeks then itraconazole 3 weeks in winter, no help, just probably made the situation worse. Today WBC 11.9. Anti-streptolysin, sedimentation rate & reactive C protein are normal. Abdominal tomography displayed inflamed lymph nodes around aorta (reactive inflammatory context). What would you do if you were me? Not currently taking any medication/ having any known condition.
Male | 29
Your symptoms seem worrying. The dark red or brown stool mixed with mucus and rectal pain points to issues in your intestines. Additionally, heart pain and a high white blood cell count raise concerns. Vancomycin usually treats bacterial infections, not these symptoms. It's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate you properly based on your test results and medical history.
