Is it safe to drink wine post-gastroscopy without sedation?
Hi I have a very silly question. I had a gastroscopy without sedation. Is it safe to have 1 glass of wine with a friend ? The numbing throat spray has worn off.
Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 6th Sept '24
After a gastroscopy, do not take too much force on your body. The glass of wine can hurt your throat because the numbing spray has already worn off. You might feel some mild discomfort or have a little acidity. It's better to wait one or two days before relishing that wine.

Hi, I am a healthy 54 year old male. I have been doing some routine annual lab tests near my home, where they do comprehensive labs for check-up. I have been doing it for several years, and everything is basically normal. However, I just received a lab result, CA 19-9, which is elevated (44), normal is below 34. I actually had this lab test CA 19-9 way back in 7/2022, when the level was 12 (normal). Then I had it in annual testing on 9/2023, and it was 25 (but within normal limits). In the past 6-12 months, I have had normal lactate and amylase levels too. Also, all my other blood test from yesterday were normal, including liver function test (and normal bilirubin), normal CBC, normal CEA level, normal amylase, normal sedimentation rate, normal TSH, normal blood chemistry. Of note, I also had a normal DNA stool test (cologuard) 3 years ago. I also had normal FIT stool test 2 months ago, and also last year (twice it was normal). I have no symptoms and no weight loss, and no signs of jaundice. I am not overweight either, and I do not smoke nor drink alcohol. And no one in my family has had cancer before. As I mentioned, this was incidental, but I would like to know your opinion if this is ominous, and next steps. I have schedule a full body MRI scan for next week too. Thank you.
Male | 54
An increase in the level of CA 199 causes an alarm. You will get the most thorough examination if you consult a specialist. However, because CA 199 levels can be associated with certain gastrointestinal conditions, you may want to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist as well.

Need better meds for stomach cramps and bloating also intestine churning
Male | 42
Stomach cramps, bloating, and the feeling of your intestines churning can be caused by several things, such as eating too quickly, too much fatty foods, or stress. To help with this, you can try taking antacids or gas relief tablets which are available over-the-counter. Drinking some peppermint or ginger tea may also be beneficial for you. Avoiding the consumption of carbonated drinks and the habit of chewing gum can help.

You might have hemorrhoids. This condition causes itching and bulging around the anus area. Feeling pain when using the toilet is common. An MBBS doctor can help you with this issue. They will guide you on suitable treatments. Different options exist, like medicines, lifestyle changes, or procedures. The treatment depends on how severe your condition is.

Hlo ma'am mai 3 may ko unwanted 72 tablet Li thi aur kl se mere pet me drd h aur loose motions h kya kru
Female | 25
I understand you’re feeling sick after taking Unwanted 72. The pain in your stomach and diarrhea can be due to the side effects of the drug. This happens because it contains hormones that affect your body. Drink lots of water so that you don’t get dehydrated. Eat light meals such as bananas, rice, and bread. Take a rest and do not eat spicy or greasy foods. If the symptoms persist then please visit a gastroenterologist.

Hi im divine, a 16 yrs old girl, recently I've been having pain at the lower left side of my stomach and it's hurts a lot. The pain comes and goes. What illness are they symptoms of?
Female | 16
Your tummy hurt on the bottom-left side could mean you have diverticulitis. Little pouches in your colon swell up. Pain, bloaty feeling, and hot temps come along. A diet full of fiber, lots of water, and some meds can make it better. But go see a gastroenterologist first to find out for sure and get the right care.

Male | 20
Loose motions, diarrhea as doctors call it, can be troublesome. Certain medicines like potassium citrate, magnesium citrate, and vitamin B6 may cause it. These can upset your stomach sometimes. To help, stay hydrated, eat mild foods. Perhaps ask your pharmacist about adjusting the B6 dose or trying a different form.

Hi i am 17 years old and i have doubt that i have colon cancer because i almost have every symptom
Male | 17
While colon cancer predominantly affects older individuals, understanding the potential symptoms is crucial. Noticeable signs include abdominal discomfort, changes in bowel patterns, bloody stools, and unexplained weight loss. Adopting a healthy lifestyle with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and regular exercise can help reduce risks. If you have concerns, consulting a gastroenterologist is advisable.

Hi doc i have been recebtly diagnosed for having gallstones but now im itching uncontrollably and i have dark urine is that of concern?
Female | 26
Feeling an intense itch and noticing dark-colored urine raises red flags if you have gallstones. The dark urine likely stems from bile flow blockage in the liver. Meanwhile, the persistent itching sensation may result from bile salts seeping into your skin. These distressing symptoms could signal underlying issues with your liver or bile ducts. It's crucial to promptly seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.

Female | 23
After childbirth, some mothers can undergo stomach pain problems due to uterine contractions or it may be due to the changes in the uterus. This is a process that can naturally occur as your body recovers. It is important to rest, drink enough water, and apply heating pads for comfort. However, if the pain worsens or you have other symptoms like fever, bleeding, or unusual discharge, check in with a gastroenterologist.

I am DEV from Delhi my age is 21 year old. I have stomache its kind a pain at touch never goes away from 2 months i got ct scan usg xray every report is normal i have gas problem i am so much in depression for my health kindly help me
Male | 21
Dealing with stomach troubles for two months can be tough, but the good news is that your tests are all clear! However, your ongoing pain and gas might still be caused by gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even anxiety. Gas buildup can make things uncomfortable, so it's a good idea to watch your diet—avoid gassy foods like beans, fizzy drinks, and dairy for now. Exercise can also help relieve gas discomfort. Don't forget to manage stress, as anxiety can worsen stomach issues. Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation. If these changes don't help, it's best to revisit your gastroenterologist.

Male | 23
Testicle pain related to digestion could be caused by referred pain. In this case, discomfort from the abdomen gets felt in the testicles. Inflammation or nerve irritation in the stomach area can lead to this. To help, focus on improving digestion through nutritious eating. Stay hydrated, and limit spicy or greasy items. Regular physical activity promotes better digestion too. However, if the pain persists or worsens, see a gastroenterologist for a proper examination and treatment plan.

I want to get my mother checked for Piles. She has some problems. A preventive check up for Piles.
Female | 58
Piles oriented as hemorrhoids can sit uncomfortably. Defining features are potential pain, itching, and bleeding in the area around the bottom. Strains during bowel movements, sitting still long, or lacking fiber in the diet are reasons for it. Alternatives may include a high-rope diet, drinking lots of water, and applying top-rated ointments on the skin. Take care of your diet and go to a gastroenterologist if necessary.
