Loss

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, The first thing we want to rule out is whether or not you are pregnant,although there are many causes to missing periods but since you have history of thyroid and you have ruled that you can't be pregnant so i would recomend you to get a throid test. When was the last time when you got your throid test and if you got them recently then please attach the reports. There can be many more hormonal causes to it,and periods can be corrected by giving hormonal drugs which will cause withdrawl ble ...

Hi, In Jan2010 one fine morning I woke up to find permanent heaviness + tinnitus in my right ear with hearing loss. Repeated audiometry tests show 50% hearing loss. Now I have permanent Tinnitus along with hearing loss. Of late, I have noticed constant pain in my skull's right side (areas including: upper & lower molars jaw bone, joint where jaw fits into the skull, joint just above the eyebrows). This pain is cyclical, sometimes very noticeable & sometimes not. During my initial examination tests, doctors had suspected tumour for which MRI scan was negative. That time I had no pain in the skull, however now I do and hence I fear the worst. Thus wanted to know your opinion of what should I do; which kind of opinion / treatment must I seek? Thanks.

Please email me your MRI Images and Audiometry reports to *********@*****.com and I will get back to you.... ...
