Question 1

i have an endoscopy says and it is says as pylorus: prepyloric erosions. what does it mean? im taking mosid md5 and ezomprazole 40mg for 6months now.

Accepted Answer

Ulcers : The pyloric area is a part of the stomach. Erosions are the technical term for findings that are what is commonly called an ulcer.

Question 2

how many times can an egd with dilation of the pylorus be done?

Accepted Answer

EGD & Dilation: If the reason it was done was to relieve a stricture, you may have to undergo periodic dilations, depending on how long it takes to "open up" the stricture. As with any invasive procedure, you want to limit the number of times it is performed. Only your gastroenterologist knows your complete medical history well enough to advise you on follow up for your symptoms.

Question 3

can taking stimulant laxatives for constipation cause the the pylorus or the pylorus sphincter to spasam abnormally

Accepted Answer

It's always possible: But hard to prove. It's likely to cause spasm of the fundus/ body of the stomach more than the sphincter.

Question 4

is there any treatment for a double pylorus besides pump inhibitors like prilosec and prevacid (lansoprazole) . need answers?

Accepted Answer

Usually no therapy: Most commonly a double pylorus is due to prior ulcer disease. If there is ongoing ulcer disease than a proton pump inhibitor (eg Prilosec or prevacid) is the standard of care. If you have ulcer disease, a test for helicobacter pylori should be done. If there is no ulcer than no therapy for the double pylorus is required.

Question 5

what does this finding mean? abnormal circumferential thickening and edema seen of the distal gastric antrum at its junction with the duodenal bulb and involving the pylorus. a few tiny reactive mesenteric lymph nodes are seen in this area?

Accepted Answer

: It isn't possible to know the meaning or importance of these results without knowing your symptoms and why your doctor ordered the test. It's often a mistake to concentrate on the details of an Xray, CT, MRI, etc, which are written for the physician and other health professionals, not the patient. Skip to the end of the report and look for "diagnosis", "interpretation", etc. Or ask your doctor.

Question 6

diagnosed marked antral gastritis & pylorus gastric erosion w-tiny ulcers
i can eat small amount, else i have nausea
do i have to force myself to eat?

Accepted Answer

Special circumstance: For someone in your condition, it is best to eat small, frequent meals throughout the day to ensure you receive nutrition throughout the day.  This will allow you to receive the nutrients throughout the day without feeling nauseated or heavy.  This will prevent the heartburn if you eat something every 3-4 hours throughout the day until the ulcers heal.

Have you taken antibiotics for the h.Pylori?

Question 7

why my throat pain severly and what i should do.? i have pylorus ulcer what to do. i used to take severe tobacco doma

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). A couple days of throat lozenges and tylenol (acetaminophen) can decrease throat pain.

Question 8

what does this ct finding mean? abnormal circumferential thickening and edema seen of the distal gastric antrum at its junction with the duodenal bulb and involving the pylorus. a few tiny reactive mesenteric lymph nodes are seen in this area?

Accepted Answer

: Above findings suggest inflammation/infiltration involving the lower part of the stomach, pylorus, the valve between the stomach and the duodenum and the first part of the duodenum. An upper endoscopy will help in clarifying as current findings are not diagnostic.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

See below: Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.  It is a bacteria (s. Aureus) that is resistant to methicillin, an antibiotic.  This makes it resistant to several other standard antibiotics and also gives it a unique virulence due to its genetics.
