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.

My mom .Drunked hydrogen peroxide by mistake

Female | 50

This cleaner contains a strong che­mical. If you accidentally drink it, it causes stomach pain, nausea, and bre­athing troubles. You should quickly drink lots of water. The wate­r dilutes the hydrogen pe­roxide. Then immediate­ly visit a hospital. They have treatme­nts to remove it.

Hey, I am a 22-year-old boy, and I have stomach pain. I feel dizzy due to this; I have a vision issue. Since yesterday, when I go to the washroom to pee, when I pass the urine, it's got a dark yellow colour in it. It is not normal, and please suggest the best you can. 

Male | 22

Having inflammation in the abdomen, dizziness, unclear or distorted vision, and the fact that the urine is darker shade of yellow than usual might point to something. Make an effort to drink more water. In addition to this, you can consume simple and dry meals, as well as, avoid coffee, tea, and alcoholic drinks. If no improvement is experienced, then visit a doctor for a check-up.

I am 48 years old and for the last 4/5 months am having stomach bloating all the time after taking any food

Male | 48

You might be having a dyspepsia, which is a disorder that often affects the upper part of your digestive system. Symptoms may range from bloating, gas, and nausea to abdominal pain and discontent. I suggest you go to a gastroenterologist to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

after A stomach cancer operation , it can be difficult to eat . This is because the stomach may need time to heal .. The patient may only be able to eat small amounts of food AT FIRST . It is Important to follow the doctor's advice on what to eat and how much. EATING FOODS high IN protein can help WITH healing ... The patient may need to eat more often but in smaller amounts. It is important to be patient and not rush the healing process.
