Can I dissolve gallbladder stones with medication or do I need surgery to just remove the stones without taking out the whole gallbladder
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While medications can sometimes help dissolve small, cholesterol-based gallstones, they are not a primary treatment and often require long-term use. Surgery, specifically laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder), is usually the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, as it's effective and the gallbladder is not essential for life. Removing the gallbladder is a common and safe procedure, and you can live without it

View allI'm a bit worried and curious if there's any connection between not masturbating for a while and having stomach issues like acid reflux. I've been experiencing acid reflux and thought maybe it's linked to this. Is there any harm in masturbation related to this, or is it okay if I start again since it's been tough to resist?
There is no direct link between masturbation and acid reflux. Masturbation is a normal activity and, in general, doesnt cause digestive issues like acid reflux. If you're experiencing acid reflux, it may be related to diet, stress, or other factors. If you feel the urge, its fine to engage in the activity in moderation, but focusing on managing your reflux through lifestyle changes and medical advice may help more with your symptoms.

I've been noticing that I'm experiencing a bunch of issues like hair fall, fatigue, weak bones, frequent urination, and even lower back and stomach pain. I used to masturbate a lot, and I think this might be related. I'm currently seeing an Ayurvedic doctor but since last night, I've started having headaches and more stomach problems, like I can't digest food properly. Every time I eat, I feel the urge to use the washroom and my stomach hurts. My bones feel so weak that I can't lift anything without them starting to hurt. What do you think could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do?
There is no such relation between your habbit and symptoms that you face, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I've been dealing with slow transit constipation and HiFiber seems to be making it worse. My doctor advised against long-term laxative use but I'm not seeing improvement. Could surgery be a viable option for my condition?
