Answered by Dr. Adam Namingsan

Can my gut issues cause hemorrhoid bleeding?

Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Based on what you describe, a burst haemorrhoid (swollen, enlarged veins that form inside and outside of your anus and rectum) can indeed cause sudden bleeding and even clots, but it usually stops after a short while, as you experienced after wiping. However, large clots, recurrent bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and a history of gut problems for two to three years raise the possibility of other underlying conditions, such as:Anal fissure (a crack or tear in the lining of your anal canal) or severe haemorrhoid.Inflammatory bowel diseases (inflammation in your gastrointestinal tract).

Can IBS in women be safely diagnosed and managed long-term?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is classified as a functional gastrointestinal disorder, which means that while the structure of the bowel appears normal, its function is often disrupted. Currently, there is no single test that can definitively diagnose IBS. Instead, the diagnosis is typically based on a person’s symptoms and medical history.

Why is my urine brownish after a rough travel?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com Thank you for that query and for being detailed on it. Your concern about dark urine and very low output is not something to ignore. These suggest moderate dehydration due to long travel, limited fluid intake, caffeine, alcohol, and physical labor. Which is more likely in your case, however, other serious causes need to be considered, like muscle breakdown due to prolonged physical stress, labor, and dehydration, which can damage muscle cells, turning your urine brown. If left untreated, it can lead to kidney injury.

Why does a 23-year-old feel dizzy after playing futsal?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. Thank you for being thorough on your query. As you have said, you have already done several diagnostics, including ECG (electrocardiogram), echocardiography, and cholesterol, which decreases the likelihood of heart disease or major cardiac problems. Possible causes of your symptoms may be autonomic system imbalance, like stress, lack of sleep, and or irregular sleep pattern, in which you say you work night shift, which can contribute to the symptoms you are experiencing.
