Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a 16 year old step daughter and she has had a period for two weeks and bleeding heavy and she has been put on birth control the nuva ring due to a cyst. she has been on this for a couple of months now. For the past several days she has had super bad gas and gas pains she is not cramping but her stomach hurts when she presses on it or moves a certain way. The pain is bad that she wants to cry at times. She has been going to the bathroom so she is not constipated but I don t know what to do for her
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of painful gas and flatulence which seems to be due to insufficient fibers in diet and due to electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. Condition can be corrected by two ways, first by changing lifestyle and secondly by starting medicine. I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meals especially at night. Take a little walk after every meal. Eat small and frequent meals. Avoid aerated and beverages containing caffeine . Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order endoscopy of esophagus , X-ray of upper respiratory tract and ambulatory acid test. Doctor may prescribe antacid like gelusil , H2 blockers like ranitidine and proton pump inhibitor to correct the condition .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
