Can rectal prolapse get better without surgery or do I always need an operation What treatments or home remedies actually work to fix it Would doing Kegel exercises help pull it back up or is that not effective for this issue
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In adults, rectal prolapse typically requires surgical intervention, as it often doesn't resolve on its own or with conservative treatments. While some lifestyle changes and exercises like Kegels can help manage symptoms and strengthen pelvic floor muscles, they are not a definitive cure for a prolapse.

View allI'm dealing with multiple stones in my gallbladder, and the biggest one measures 10.6 mm with another at 7.5 mm, along with some smaller ones. I recently had quite a bit of pain and got an ultrasound done. I'm curious to know if there are treatment options available that don't involve gallbladder removal. Is it possible to remove or dissolve just the stones?
If you have multiple gall bladder stones and abdominal pain surgery is recommended for removal of gall bladder itself as there might be a high chance to develop stones again in the future. Medical therapy can not dissolve stones but can only manage symptoms like pain and vomiting.

I was cooking and noticed some tiny plastic bits in the food, which I removed right away. Now I'm a bit worriedwhat if I swallowed some by accident? Could something like that be harmful, even if it's a really tiny amount?
It's natural to worry, but if the plastic bits were very small and you removed most of them, there's likely no need for concern. Tiny, negligible amounts of plastic typically pass through the digestive system without causing harm. If you feel any discomfort or symptoms, consult a doctor for reassurance.

I've had stage 3 hemorrhoids and SRUS diagnosed by colonoscopy back in August 2019. They weren't painful before but for the past month, I've been getting sharp stabbing pains during bowel movements and even at rest. Oxerutin isn't helping much. Should I get another colonoscopy to check on the hemorrhoids and SRUS or try natural remedies first? Also, is it safe to split the Oxerutin pill into thirds since I can't swallow it whole?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
