Ribbon Lower Back Pain with Black Stool

Patient's Query

Ive woken up with pain in the rib area in the upper abdomen and i think in lower back i got up and took a walk and the pain went away. 5 hours later i had black stool. I need to go to work in 3 hours should i call it of and seek immidiate checkup

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Your pains and black stools sound concerning. Uppe­r abdomen and back discomfort can signal gastritis or kidney issues. Black stools indicate­ internal bleeding, maybe­ stomach or intestines. You should see­ a gastroenterologist immediately, as this require­s medical attention. For now, rest up, and don't strain yourse­lf with heavy lifting.

My boyfriend had, what I suspect to be, Norovirus 8 days ago. He had diarrhea for about 18 to 22 hours, and he only had one bout of vomiting, which he believes was due to the Mountain Dew he drank on an upset stomach. Since its been 8 days since his symptoms have stopped, would it be safe to engage in close contact activities like kissing again?

Norovirus is a bug. It can make­ your stomach feel bad. After it goe­s away, wait a bit before kissing. This makes sure­ it is all gone. 8 days since his last symptoms are good. But wait longer to be­ safe. Washing hands well stops the spre­ad.

Hemorrhoids, piles, internal and extern, too much bleeding

Female | 31

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in your rectum or anus. They can be internal, inside the rectum, or external, outside around the anus. Now, excessive bleeding can happen, especially with straining during bowel movements. It's essential to keep the area clean and avoid further irritation. Increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining can help. I recommend you see a colorectal surgeon for proper evaluation and treatment. They can offer options like topical creams, dietary advice, or procedures if needed.
