Hi Doc, My wife undergo with series of test and it was diagnosed of colitis and there are so many medicine that she will take however when one of the doctor press her stomach with his four finger around it, the air has release to the stomach of my wife then the doctor performed a rec tile test which he insert one finger of course with gloves to the anus of my wife then suddenly my wife feels okay now. I m so confused now and I thought that it is only gas pain? So do you have any idea how to release air to the stomach if she has gas pain again?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood your concerns. The pressure caused by gas in the colon or rectum can cause inconvenience and when the Doctor performed pressure and then per-rectal examination the gas got a give-way hence the pressure and pain gets released. If this happens in future your wife can do the same this with gloved finger. Or use Glycerine Suppositories as these might facilitate the passage of gases. Flatus tube was used in the past wherein the lubricated flatus tube is passed per-anal route. Also needed is to find the cause for excessive gases which can be as follows: Stress and anxiety cause aerophagia. Stop aerated drinks. If the stool test shows infection a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole can help to cure the problems. Also use activated charcoal and probiotics. Avoid all the foods and beverages that cause instigations or enhancement of the problems.
