Q&A

Answered by Dr. Anantha Narayanan Naganathan

Can an internal rectal prolapse and rectocele create an enterocele?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Pelvic floor muscle weakness is the cause of the sagging of internal organs. In addition, poor diet habits, such as a low-fiber diet, can cause constipation. I suggest you avoid lifting weights and coughing to avoid further pressure on the weak pelvic floor.

I have nausea, black stools, belly pain and gas. What could it be?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your symptoms are suggestive of upper gastrointestinal intestinal bleed. Please stop Meloxicam 15 mg tablet immediately. I suggest you take proton pump inhibitor medication like Omeprazole 40 mg tablet straightaway and take preferably cold water. Please check with an accident and emergency department for further care for intravenous proton pump inhibitor, antiemetic medications, and further lab investigations such as complete blood count, bleeding and clotting time, prothrombin time with platelets, APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time), INR (international normalized ratio), stool for occult blood, ultrasound abdomen, complete liver function tests to assess the extent of blood loss through stools.
