My father is 78 years old and has been suffering from constipation for the last 2 years. He has also lost a lot of weight around 10 kgs in this time span. In the last couple of months he has been complaining that his abdominal muscles have torn due to bowel straining and now he says there is loss of muscle in his stomach area. Which is why when he lies down everything is fine but when he sits up and walks around he feels like he is carrying a weight in his stomach. After intake of food it becomes worse and he also gets bloating. We have done all possible tests - colonoscopy, CT scan, ultrasound sometime last year and everything was clear. The doctors gave a verdict of idiopathic constipation and left it at that. His blood work is fine, haemoglobin levels, cholestrol etc. He still suffers from constipation. His prostrate is enlarged but results are fine. What is the solution to his stomach muscle problem ? Is it lack of exercise, lack of protein ? He doesnt have a pot belly and has never had and had always been physically active and fairly slender.

Doctor's Answer

Hi, Urinary problems are not common in flu and should not be related. However this can happen if you have low immunity then you can have multiple problems together. Usually flu are viral in nature which will take some time at least whether or not you take drugs (antibiotic),but taking an antibiotic will help you so that you don't have any other infection. Viral has a fixed period cycle Have plenty of water(that will help you flush your system) Have fresh fruits and vegetable Pain can be due ...
