I have daily used my finger for my bowel movement and manually try to get clean my colon for about 5 -6 years and now I have stop that shameful act from about 2 years. I have started this from about 8 standard and I do not know much about bad or good this at that time. But as I understand that this is unnatural I feel shameful and regretted but then I am not able to get bowel properly and I continued it for about 5-6 years. After that I am getting medication for the irregular bowel habits it help me lot but not completely. Even after that it is about 4 to 5 times to go daily for bowel without figure enema. I do not have that courage to say my cause of irregular bowel habit is that shameful act to any body including my gastrointestinal doctor to which I consult. Is there chances of permanent damage to my colon or rectum? How can I treat this situation. Please suggest some specialist doctors for medication.

Father-in-law was unable to pass motion for a week. In the meantime, elder brother died who he is very close to. The next day after his death he starts behaving and talking in a very disoriented manner. Upon consultation by a gastroenterologist, he starts taking medicines but is still unable to pass motion for the next 2 days. Gastroenterologist advises to take him to a hospital for an enema. He starts passing some motion after the procedure. The next day he starts having continuous loose motions and becomes weak, unable to sit up and his legs start shaking. He is admitted to icu. His brain ct scans, chest ct scan and rt pcr is also done for covid. Covid test comes negative and his brain scan also does’t show any problems. Mild pneumonia is detected in lungs. Oxygen saturation is normal with cylinder support at around 96, sometimes without support also he can breath normally. It has been 5 days now since hospitalization but he is still disoriented and lung infection is there. Pls help.

Um. Hi. I was looking for some help i've been having this constipation for almost 6 years now. It happened before when I was 7 now im 18 and I still have the problem. The doctors told me I have ibs, gerd and was asked to have a barium enema and then I was told I have mucous colitis and redundant colon the doctor told me to just eat healthy and always take laxatives and I will be fine but it's not working anymore I still have bloody stool and I don't even feel the urge to go. My symptoms are abdominal pain in the left side, pelvic pain, im always tired, dizzy most of the time, I have lower back pain, low appetite, without laxatives it takes me from 4: 6 days to feel like I wanna go, my hands keep shaking and i've been having blood in stool for a while which made my hemoglobin drop to 9.1. Im sorry my question is too long I just need to know what the next step should be or how should I live normally with that?

Hi . low hb , you need to increase hb.
• have warm water early in the morning. 
• fiber rich diet.
• steamed vegetables , fruits .
• banana at breakfast daily.
• Cut down on coffee, milk products. 
• Regular walks and exercise . Constipation, anaemia, ibs etc is permanently curable by homoeopathy. The need for daily laxatives can be drastically brought down with the homeopathic medicines.
you can consult me online for homoeopathic treatment without side effects.

This is the 17th week from the day I had intercourse with a escort. From last 1 week I am having the continuous burning sensation on tip of my penis and sometime pain spread to testicles. 1 week before the pain was acute but now it does not hurt much. Sometime I find little pain while urinating and sometime for days I feel ok. I do not have any discharge coming. No pus, no yellow or green fluid. Sometime I feel like something is coming from my penis but nothing comes. I do not have any symptoms like rashes or blisters. This thing happened when I had a much alcoholic consumption 1 week ago and the next morning I woke up with this feeling. Now the pain spread into my back. I have a joint pain issue from last two years but for the last week it got increased little bit. I thought it was UTI but I was do not have any symptoms like peeing again and again and continuous burning sensation. I got little etching but my skin seems to be clean. I also had a anxiety as soon I finished the intercourse. Because I had a doubt that she had a STD. I started taking PEP withing 60 hours. The after 1 month back I tested for PCR DNA. Which came out negative. I did a protected intercourse but I still doubt that I used it properly as it was my first time I had intercourse. Badly Irritated about the burning sensation in the tip of my penis. Pain is normal and bearable but sensation continues. I took advice of Urologist. There was no UTI infection. He said be to go for STD test again and gave some medicines for relief but conditions are same. I have checked for herpes, clamdiya and Gonnorea and they all were negative. I also did pcr dna test after 17th week and it was undetectable. Can I get a false negative result after 17th week. Urologist said to do endoscopy as all reports were negative. 120 days over, this is to be noted that after checkup and after 120 days I am getting seroconversion (ARS) symptoms. Had a small lump in my groin (i guess it is a swollen lymph node), pain in eyes ,fissure (from 2 week) neck pain, blisters on right cheek (big fluids pimples), mouth ulcer for 2 days (and den vanished) and gastro issues. Back pain (pain got less within week) and little heaviness in my back head and I have that feeling when I close my hands something under my armpit feeling. I have suffered all these issues earlier too. Now within week, they all are coming together, is a indication of something? May be my immune was strong, so I seroconverted late after 4 months? Can PCR test be false negative after 3.5 months? I am scared of being tested again as I afraid of being seroconverted. Seems like bad luck after using protection, prep medicine, getting the negative hiv in pcr test, still getting seroconverted. Seeking for emotional help Very scared! seems to be like a dark future! I know hiv patient can also live the normal life like others but having Suicidal feeling in the society where Hiv is a taboo! taking mobizox, Pan20, contiflo and Livoluk and lox jelly for piles. Back pain near rib was enormous when moving. Pain started from lower back then moved to upper left back near rib when moving now pain.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user. Read your query completely. The symptoms are haphazard may be due to antibiotics usage. First of all stay calm as you have protection during the intercourse and the DNA PCR is negative. Simply perform HIV antibody test after 3 months and that is enough. Remember you are an educated and in youth. It's your responsibility to fight against a taboo rather fearing it blindly. We will not disclose patient's status to anybody and a HIV patient who takes ART medicine regularly is...more

The escort seems to have ruined your life. Even if you get HIV, World Health Organization with present medicines says people can have normal life span, so do not worry. Do not get depressed and anxious, if these are severe consult a psychiatrist. Be bold and test for HIV again. You might have got or acquired some other Sexually transmitted virus too, which has started affecting you. There are very many.
