Question 1

I'm curious about something that keeps coming up in my ultrasound scans. They always mention that the pancreas is obscured by bowel gas. Is it normal to have gas around the pancreas, or should I be concerned about this? Can gas be around other organs too? I'm just trying to understand if there's anything I should be worried about.

Accepted Answer

The phrase "pancreas obscured by bowel gas" refers to the fact that the pancreas is not clearly visible on an ultrasound because gas in the bowel is blocking the view. This is a common occurrence and not necessarily abnormal

Question 2

My wife has an 18 mm stone in her gall bladder and sometimes she feels pain because of it. I'm wondering if there are ayurvedic treatments for this or if she will have to rely only on allopathic medicine.

Accepted Answer

For an 18 mm gallbladder stone, Ayurvedic treatments like certain herbs (e.g., Gokshura, Triphala) may help manage symptoms, but they might not dissolve large stones. Allopathic treatment, including possible surgery or non-invasive methods like lithotripsy, is usually recommended for stones of this size. It's best to consult a doctor for a personalized approach.

Question 3

I'm having this issue where I keep throwing up this yellowish, bitter liquid in the morning. It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what's going on. I also feel really nauseous when I try to eat, like my stomach's already full. It's quite uncomfortable. Any idea what might be causing this? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

Accepted Answer

Is it OK to remove stool with finger?

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.
