Is it OK to remove stool with finger?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Manual evacuation of stool with finger may be done sometimes but it can cause trauma and anal bleeding if more force is used. It is always better to visit a nearest doctor who can safely help in removing stools.

View allI've been dealing with acid reflux for the past couple of years and recently got an endoscopy that showed I have an H. pylori infection. I've been on the Nexpro HP kit but still haven't found any relief. Could you suggest what I might try next or what else might be going on?
Since you have been diagnosed with H. pylori infection and have been taking Nexpro HP kit without relief, I would recommend a different treatment approach. You can try a combination therapy with antibiotics such as Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin along with a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole. This combination therapy is often effective in eradicating H. pylori infection and relieving symptoms of acid reflux.
