Chronic Constipation
The possible causes are Anal Fissure, Bowel Obstruction, Colon Cancer, Narrowing of colon or bowel stricture, abdominal cancer, rectal cancer, rectum bulge through the back wall of the vagina.
- Chronic constipation is common among people suffering from nerve damage due to any health conditions or any injury to the nerve system such as autonomic neuropathy, Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Spinal cord injury, Stroke etc.
When pelvic muscles weaken or don't relax during a bowel movement (anismus) or don't coordinate relaxation and contradiction (dyssynergia), it leads to problems in passing stools thereby, leading to chronic constipation.
People suffering from conditions such as diabetes, Overactive Parathyroid Gland (hyperparathyroidism), Pregnancy, Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) etc. are more likely to suffer from constipation. The reason being these conditions change the hormonal balance in the body.
Varicose Veins
Spider veins, or thread veins, are smaller than varicose veins. They are usually red. They may look like tree branches or spider webs. Spider veins can usually be seen under the skin, but they do not make the skin bulge out like varicose veins do. Spider veins are usually found on the legs or the face.
- There are two main systems of veins in the legs:
- Deep veins: The leg muscles squeeze the deep veins during walking, carrying most of the blood back up the legs to the heart
- Superficial veins: These occur under the skin which are less important and can form varicose veins
Maybe. During pregnancy, you have more blood pumping through your body to support your unborn baby. The extra blood can cause your veins to get larger. Your growing uterus (womb) also puts pressure on the veins. Varicose veins may appear around the vagina and buttocks.
For some women, varicose veins shrink or disappear after childbirth. For others, varicose veins stay after childbirth, and symptoms continue to get worse. Women may also get more varicose veins or spider veins with each additional pregnancy.
Compression stockings put pressure on your veins, which increases blood flow from your legs. There are three kinds of compression stockings:
- Support pantyhose, which give the least amount of pressure. These are sold in most stores.
- Over-the-counter gradient compression hose, which give a little more pressure around the foot, ankle, and lower leg, where pressure is needed most to move the blood back toward your heart. These are sold in medical supply stores and some drugstores.
- Prescription-strength gradient compression hose, which offer the greatest amount of pressure to the feet, ankles, and lower legs. You may need a prescription from your doctor to buy them. Make sure you get help from someone who has already used these stockings. These hose are sold in medical supply stores and some drugstores.
Some stronger compression stockings can hurt people with certain medical conditions, such as certain types of heart disease or heart failure. Ask your doctor or nurse if it's safe for you to use prescription-strength compression stockings or what strength would be safe for you.

- Cholesterol Stones: These are stones which are yellow-green in color and develops due to the high level of cholesterol. Normally, your bile contains enough chemicals to dissolve the cholesterol excreted by your liver. But if your liver excretes more cholesterol than your bile can dissolve, the excess cholesterol may form into crystals and eventually into stones.
- Pigment Stones: These are stones which are dark in color and develops due to excessive bilirubin. Bilirubin is a chemical that's produced when your body breaks down red blood cells. Certain conditions cause your liver to make too much bilirubin, including liver cirrhosis, biliary tract infections and certain blood disorders.
Appendicitis Surgery

Achalasia Cardia
The Esophagus is the muscular tube which helps pass food and liquid to stomach from the throat. As we know, the wall of the esophagus is made up of several layers of tissue, mucous membrane, muscle, and connective tissue.
It is a type of diagnostic test. In Barium Swallow, a patient is asked to swallow or drink the liquid which is called barium which may create a coating of esophagus and stomach. This helps to get images inside the esophagus. This procedure is also called an upper GI series. In people who have achalasia, the X-rays reveal a dilated (enlarged) esophagus and a narrowing of the lower end so that it resembles a birds beak.
In this, a thin tube-like tool with lens and light which is called esophagoscope is inserted through the mouth down the throat into the esophagus. It may also have a tool to remove tissue samples, which are checked under a microscope for signs of cancer.
In this, a thin tube is inserted into the esophagus which is connected to a pressure recorder and it measures the muscle contractions of the esophagus when the patients swallow.
