Why it’s happening? What can be the reason?

Ekta

I am feeling upper abdominal pain along with nausea and vomit. I had an appendicitis surgery in 2020 toh it cannot be appendix pain. Few days ago i was experiencing severe piles problem for the first time. He got healed slowly slowly but after that every time i eat something i feel nausea and feel like going to washroom and pass the stool. After my pliles problems got healed my stool color and odour changed. Sometimes its black stool but not tarry and sometimes its orange muddy stool. I have pain in upper abdomen. I also feel pain when i sleep on tummy. I don’tunderstand what’s happening.

What you’re describing sounds like it could be involving your digestive system in a few ways. The combination of upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and changes in stool color suggests there might be a couple of possibilities to consider. The black stool might suggest bleeding somewhere in the gastrointestinal tract, possibly the stomach or the first part of the small intestine. However, since it’s not tarry, it could also be related to dietary factors, or medications (like taking iron supplements or certain medications causing gastritis). The orange muddy stool could be reflecting a faster transit time through your intestines, where bile doesn’t fully get processed, or potentially an issue with bile flow or pancreatic function. The upper abdominal pain and nausea you have described could be linked with gastritis, peptic ulcers, or gallbladder-related issues, such as gallstones. Given that you’ve had surgery for appendicitis, it wouldn’t involve the appendix, but surgery can sometimes lead to adhesions, maybe affecting bowel movements later. Sleeping on your stomach might be causing pressure on any inflamed organs, leading to more discomfort. It’s critical you consult with a healthcare provider promptly to rule out serious conditions, like bleeding or biliary obstructions. They’ll likely want to conduct a physical exam, review your full medical history, and maybe order tests such as blood work, stool tests, abdominal ultrasound, or endoscopy to get a clear diagnosis and start the appropriate treatment for your situation. Drinking plenty of fluids, avoiding fatty or spicy foods, and monitoring your symptoms and dietary triggers can be prudent steps for now, but do seek medical attention without delay.
