Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it got better for a while, but then it started again. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of dysentery?Doctor's answer:
For dysentery, the main symptoms are commonly abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and tenesmus with mucopurulent bloody stools being typical symptoms. At the same time, it may be accompanied by fever. In severe cases, it may lead to recurrence of infection and shock, resulting in life-threatening conditions such as toxic encephalopathy. Patients with dysentery are advised to immediately adopt oral medication for treatment. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek hospitalization for close observation and treatment.
