    My belly was the size of a 7 months pregnant woman from Ascites a year ago. Caused by fatty liver disease. The junk I was eating and the quantity was unbelievable. The diagnosis scared me straight. I eliminated 90% of the salt and sugar from my diet. Joined a gym and exercised daily. Now my belly is slimmer than it was before these health issues. I weigh less than I have in 20 years. Didn't need a paracentesis or meds.

    I never knew that my doctor did a biopsy from my stomach in my endoscopy and I am scared like hell now! I heard stories that it would lead to spread of bad cells and heaven forbids Cancer! Is that true? I don't even know why my doctor took biopsy while I did not have many symptoms and it was more of my family Doctor recommendation to do a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy together to ensure it is my hemorrhoid that causes occasional bleeding! I don't feel good to have done any of them! As I ended up removing one sigmoid area 3mm hyperplastic polyp and Nothing in the endoscopy biopsy + Hemorrhoid which I knew I had! All those unnecessary steps that led me to feel bad to have caused trauma to my organs for a fit 38-year-old individual, nonsmoker and with no family history! It's been 3 months since the procedures and I can't sleep at night thinking what will happen to me as a result of my procedures! I don't even know why my doctor asked me to come back for a Colonoscopy when I am 50! I mean whyyy? why should I have this nightmare stress until then?!! AM I NOT DEEMED LOW RISK and HEALTHY?!!!

    • @MarkCooperMD
      @MarkCooperMD 5 дней назад

      Why would you presume that everything done for you was wrong? By the sound of it, everything done was reasonable. If anything you should have a repeat screening sooner than 50 based on current evidence (though where you live influences that). Taking a biopsy of the inner lining of the stomach during an EGD does not spread cancer, especially if there is no cancer to spread. So I wouldn’t expect anything to happen to you from these procedures. Hopefully you sleep better and don’t read more healthcare stories. I find most of the stories reported in the news make major factual errors that make the story sound much scarier and much more likely to happen to you too. Sensationalism of healthcare is dangerous.

    • @FARSHADT-un5yp
      @FARSHADT-un5yp 2 дня назад

      @@MarkCooperMD I appreciate your explanation, however, I am still not convinced why they did the biopsy when I did not have abnormalities! they said for a thorough examination and specially H bacteria, though, it would better not to do it when I did NOT have any symptoms given potential risks and dangers in long term. I don't know if it is my mind or not but I have had a minor nausea since last week when I want to start eating and I can't stop thinking what I have cancer! All I can say, better NOT be proactive if you have no risk factors at all or you'll end up caged in fear

    • @MarkCooperMD

      I think it’s your own choice to be caged in fear and something that may be worth seeking help to free yourself from it. A biopsy does not cause cancer. You have misinterpreted something you read.

This diagnosis was made based on testing she had on some subaceous adenomas that were removed from her face. Her doctors are recommending her siblings and children get genetic testing done. The thing is, there is no history of cancer in our family. None! Can a hereditary condition be latent in some carriers? Or is this possibly a random mutation?
