Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Thank you for sharing your concerns about your brother's health. It is clear that you are deeply committed to helping him manage his diabetes (a chronic medical condition characterized by elevated blood glucose), obesity, fatty liver, and high blood pressure. Given that traditional treatments have not yielded the desired results, considering metabolic (also known as bariatric) surgery could be a beneficial next step.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your complaints can be due to peptic ulcer disease and hiatus hernia. Both of them can co-exist at times. Also get yourself checked for H.Pylori (helicobacter pylori) infection, which can be the cause of having peptic ulcer disease.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Sorry to hear about your mother's complaints. Pus from the surgical site is worrisome. It may just be a surgical site infection, usually superficial and confined to the skin and it usually subsides with appropriate antibiotics. But since you have mentioned that the pus is from gallbladder bed, which means it is from an intraabdominal source, then it is a matter of grave concern and needs further evaluation both clinical and radiological along with biochemical parameters.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I went through your query and understood your concern. Lipoma is not of much concern. Lipoma is a benign swelling that happens due to abnormal fat deposition at a localized site. However, they continue to increase in size, usually very slowly.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the MRI report you shared (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), your fistula-in-ano seems complex. A definitive surgery performed at the earliest is required. The surgery will be performed under spinal anesthesia and is not a high-risk surgery. However, at times the wound needs to be left open for secondary healing to occur via granulation tissue, which may be bothersome for a few patients.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I reviewed your pictures (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Blood in stool is often distressing for the patient and can be due to a solitary rectal ulcer, mucosal erosion, gastroenteritis, piles, fissure, or a tumor. A definite cause can only be concluded after a detailed physical examination along with a full-length colonoscopy and CECT abdomen (contrast-enhanced computed tomography) if required. I will suggest you to get in touch with a general surgeon and get yourself examined.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Sorry to hear about your complaints. Bruising following angiography is quite common and usually subsides over time. D-dimer was elevated in your case, so your consultant has gone for a Doppler scan to rule out thrombus formation, which in your case has come out to be normal. You probably do not have much to worry about.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. I can see how committed you are to improving your health, especially in managing your blood sugar, sleep apnea (a serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep), high blood pressure, and obesity. I also understand how frustrating it can be when medications and lifestyle changes have not produced the results you hoped for. Given your current condition, bariatric (metabolic) surgery (weight loss surgery) is a strong option worth serious consideration.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. I understand that you are highly motivated to take care of your glycemic status as well as obesity, and that you have tried medication for it. Despite these efforts, you have not had great results. Bariatric surgery is something that you should consider.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. I understand that you are highly motivated to take care of your glycemic status, liver cirrhosis, hypertension, as well as obesity, and that you have tried medication for it. Since, despite these efforts, you have not had great results, bariatric surgery is something that you should consider. As with everything else, there are risks involved with this type of surgery as well, but the odds of it are rare.
