Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!


Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.

This isn't that simple as it looks like. You need proper investigations and treatment. It may range anything from just an infection of the gastrointestinal tract like gastroenteritis, Inflammatory bowel disease to a carcinoma of the tract. You need to go to a Gastroenterologist who will evaluate the case thoroughly. He may go for Gastroscopy, Colonoscopy, serologic testing, stool examination etc etc. If needed biopsy may be taken to rule out some differential diagnoses. He will treat the case according to the cause.

Till then take Fiberall with plenty of water, good healthy diet, fresh fruits and salads. It will help you a lot.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way.



Regards!
