Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Your height is influenced by a combination of genetics, nutrition, and overall health. It's great that you're observing these changes, like growing hair in different places. It shows that your body is going through puberty, a time of significant growth. While it's hard to predict exactly how tall you'll end up, looking at your family history can give us some clues. Since your great uncle was 180 cm, there's a possibility you could reach a similar height. To support your growth, make sure you're eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and staying active. If you have any concerns, it's always a good idea to talk to your physician for personalized advice.

I am a 30 years old female. It been some few weeks I'm experiencing a crying stomach from time to time even if I have eaten food

Female | 30

There are several possible causes for this, including eating too much or too quickly, or certain foods not reacting well with your stomach. Do you find that it gets worse with particular foods? Try having smaller meals at a slower pace and see if there’s anything that consistently triggers your stomach ache. If the problem persists, it would be wise to consult a gastroenterologist.

Am suffering in stomach pain stomach bloating and pain below left rib cage food not digesting properly

Male | 30

You likely have gastritis, which refers to the inflammation of the stomach lining due to irritants. Gastritis can result in various symptoms including pain, bloating, and digestion difficulties. Pain that occurs below the left rib cage may also be a possible result of gas accumulated in the colon. The causes of these problems may be attributed to eating too fast, spicy foods, stress, or an infection. To improve your health, eat smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, and practice stress management.

Sir I have pain on left side of stomach. When I am taking and living oxygen as I am feeling pain and I not that much. And this pain is for yesterday onwards. can u please give me the suggestion on this problem

Male | 21

You're experiencing pain on the left side of your stomach. That doesn't sound pleasant at all. Well, this type of pain could be caused by various reasons, such as gas, indigestion, or even muscle strain. It's good that you've noticed it started recently. In fact, sometimes stress or dietary changes can trigger such discomfort. To help ease your symptoms, you can try drinking plenty of water, eating light meals, and avoiding spicy or oily foods for now. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it's best to consult with a gastroenterologist for a proper evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Acid reflux coming out from the stomach at night no appetite weight lose is there

Male | Rhishi

This could be due to a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus. It's essential to make some lifestyle changes like avoiding spicy or acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down right after eating. I recommend seeing a gastroenterologist for a proper evaluation and possibly getting some tests done to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Female | 64

Vomiting, headaches, and pain on her right side can mean she has pancreatitis, which is very serious. Take her to the hospital now. They’ll be able to find out what’s wrong and make her feel better. Also, bring along her insulin and any medicine she takes for high blood pressure.

I m 20 years old I have symptoms like tail bone pain, inflammation nd blood in stool

Female | 20

Inflammation of the tailbone and blood in your stool together may be warnings of a condition called hemorrhoids which is the consequence of the expansion of blood vessels around the rectum or anal area causing pain. Generally, we can say that blood vessels in the rectum or anus swell up which leads to pain. The most common causes are straining when going to the toilet and sitting for prolonged periods. To help with your symptoms, drink a lot of water, eat fiber rich foods, and not sit for too long. If symptoms remain, consult a gastroenterologist for personalized care.

I have a acid reflux problem around 2 months I already consult with doctors but acid reflux not going properly what should I do I get to much tension about this disease please help me

Male | 27

Acid reflux actually occurs when the stomach acids irritate the esophagus, which leads to symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and bad taste. Some of the means to comfort it involve eating small portions, avoiding the foods that trigger it, and not sleeping immediately after eating. Raising your head during sleep is also a concern. Also, don't forget to reduce stress because it will also contribute to acid reflux.

I have had dizziness for a year now. It only seems to be at night when I am laying down and when I can't get all of my poo out. I get a bit constipated every period and this effects my head every month.

Female | 20

You might have vasovagal syncope. This occurs when there is a rapid drop in blood pressure and heart rate, which causes fainting. Additionally, being constipated can aggravate this condition as it compresses your nerves. To alleviate it, make sure to drink more water, eat foods rich in fiber and consult with a gastroenterologist for further assessment and treatment options.

Why am I gaining weight five years after my gastric sleeve surgery?

Female | 42

You may be gaining weight because of a stretched stomach pouch or an enlarged gastric sleeve opening. Other causes, including hormonal changes or lack of healthy diet and physical activities may also play a role. I suggest contacting a bariatric specialist to address the problem and determine possible solutions.

I am 24 years old and by mistake I Swallow cool lip. What should I do? It is dangerous or not ?

Male | 24

Swallowing a cool lip (assuming you mean a small object or part of a lip balm) is usually not dangerous, but it can potentially cause discomfort or minor issues. It's best to consult a gastroenterologist to ensure there are no complications. If you experience any pain, difficulty breathing, or other unusual symptoms, seek medical help immediately.

hello doctor, i’ve recently came down with a fever and a headache in the past few days that has been resolved now. but i have a new set of symptoms, whenever i am stood up i cannot stop belching/burping. this does not happen when i am lying down, however, my stomach and abdomen rumble a lot when i’m lying down. my only other symptom is constipation

Male | 15

The symptoms you are showing, such as wheezing standing up, a rumble in the stomach while lying down, and constipation, could be a sign of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). This can be produced by stress, certain meals, or even hormonal shifts. Maintaining a food diary and doing deep breathing exercises may help you relax. It's also important to drink water and consume a diet rich in fiber which will help constipation. If your symptoms persist, do not hesitate to contact a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and guidance. Take care!

Female | 14

Stress or certain foods may cause stomach issues. Try tracking what you eat to pinpoint problem foods. Relaxation techniques like deep breaths, meditation, or gentle exercise could help reduce stress. Eat smaller meals more often, and drink plenty of fluids. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, consult a gastroenterologist.

my gut health is not good even if i took a good diet :- 1 bowl green moong(soaked)+curd+peanut after that my parents forced to eat home food so i ate 3 chapati with 250ml milk my poop not came good i think i have digestion issue from a week poop(potty) is not normal even i dont eat any of the jink foods

Male | 15

Digestion issues can really throw us off balance. It's great that you're mindful of your diet. Sometimes even with all the right foods, our bodies can still act up. Your symptoms might be due to a sudden change in your diet - switching from your usual to home-cooked food can sometimes unsettle your gut. The combination of green moong, curd, and peanuts is quite fibrous, which could also affect your digestion if you're not used to it. Try incorporating home-cooked meals gradually, along with staying hydrated and adding some probiotic-rich foods. If things persist, schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I was a mild stinging in my throat and was prescribed rabeloc rd for 1 month followed by esomeprazole for another month. After the course of the medication I was free from the symptoms but then I started having a terrible chest pain heartburn stomach ache one week after I stopped the ppi.

Female | 24

You might feel chest pain, heartburn, and stomach ache. It could be acid rebound. Your body makes more acid when you stop taking PPIs fast. This causes symptoms like heartburn and stomach pain. To help, eat smaller meals. Avoid foods that trigger it. Use antacids if needed. But talk to a gastroenterologist before changing anything.

Some people experience nausea, heartburn, and stomach cramps after eating. This discomfort is indigestion. It happens when your stomach has trouble digesting food. Causes include eating too fast, or consuming fatty or spicy foods. To get relief, eat slowly. Stay away from foods that trigger symptoms. You can also visit a gastroenterologist.

Female | Keerthi

This may be a consequence of gastritis, a stomach problem, but the other options still need to be examined. The pain coming back could mean that there is something else going on. Your heart and lungs also need to be considered. It is imperative to see a gastroenterologist for them to ask more inquiries, do an examination, and even run some tests to determine the source of the pain
