Lack of excersice

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.

Hi, History told by you favours irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ). There are two alarming signs in your case : Firstly, loss of weight and that to10kg approx. Secondly, sensation of carrying a weight in stomach. Both of them do occurs in IBS. But to be on safer side,I would suggest you to go for colonoscopy again because it was done 1 yr back and symptoms have aggravated few months back. Treatments available for IBS - - Increase the level of physical activity. - Have regular meals and take t ...

Hi, Your raised ggt is simply because of alcohol,and should not be of a problem if your other tests are all fine and within normal range.Just try and reduce your alcohol. Sleep deprivation is a big problem and i think all the steps must have already been taken by you but still let you know again. Kindly follow the following steps 1)Avoid excessive stress 2)Don't lie in bed for long in morning,even if you have to force yourself do that and this will help in resheduling your schedule. 3)Try and s ...

Hi, I am a 22 years old vegetarian male. I have been diagnosed with osteopenia with a T-score of -1.0 on spine and -1.5 on femur. Following this I got my vitamin D checked (25-hydroxy test) and it came out to be 8ng/mL. I think that the low bone density is due to the lack of calcium caused by vitamin D deficiency. I got a throid profile performed and all results came normal. I am thinking of getting a calcium serum check to find out the calcium levels. I have also started taking vitamin D 10000-15000IU per day. Do you think I should get any further checks done? I also seem to have gluten allergy /celiac disease (eating wheat seemed to cause some digestive problems that went away when I stopped taking wheat) and have stopped eating wheat. Do you think I should get any further checks done? I am thinking of checking for mineral deficiency in my body.

hello, my daughter is 20 days old premature baby of 32 weeks birth weight 1.56kgs... due to lack of bf we started with dexolac sc yesterday... since then she is suffering for motion and not taking intake properly... what shall we do

Try to give as much as possible breast milk by expression. This baby needs 250-300 ml of milk in 24 hours. if cannot express sufficient quantity of milk, can supplement with any low birth weight formula (PreNan, Dexolac SC or Lactodex LBW). If baby is passing loose stools, then need to be seen by a pediatrician or neonatologist. If the baby is gaining weight despite loose stools, don't change anything. If the baby is not gaining weight or losing weight or is lethargic, then needs evaluation and ...

Hi Sir, I am 27 years old and i started mansturbating at the age of 17. Till i was 25 i mansturbated almost daily as i read in the internet in various articles that mansturbation is healthy and does not affect overall health. But after the age of 25 i noticed that it could be the cause of my lack of energy,mind fogging, difficulty to concentrate etc. I started to cut it down for the last 2 years but failed many times, though now i keep monthly track of how much i am doing it, but i am not able to stop it completely. Till now my success rate is around 15 times a month or once in 2 days, but i am not able to reduce it further. I wanted to know in what ways it is really affecting my health, what is the ideal frequency in a week we should not go beyond(clearly state what is the danger level-is daily dangerous?), how to control this bad activity, and what natural medicines should i take to regain vitality. Is this a problem with others too, because many of my friends claim that they also do it almost regularly?
