Can surgery is possible for superior mesentric artery syndrome Tell me about various treatment.I have consulted many doctors but not able to get rid from it.

Another surgical approach to treating SMA syndrome is a duodenojejunostomy, in which the compressed portion of the duodenum is released and an anastomosis is created between the duodenum and jejunum anterior to the superior mesenteric artery. This is the classic approach to SMA syndrome.

View allI have a 31mm gall bladder calculus but my gallbladder wall thickness and CBD are normal. Is it possible to treat this without surgery? If I do get surgery, will the stones come back again?
Yes, it's possible to treat a 31mm gallbladder calculus without surgery, and the likelihood of stones returning after surgery varies. While surgical removal (cholecystectomy) is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, non-surgical options like medication or percutaneous cholangioscopy may be considered. The risk of gallstones returning after surgery is low if the gallbladder is removed.

I'm really worried because I noticed blood in my saliva today, and I'm not even coughing. A month ago, I also saw blood after I vomited. What could this mean and what should I do?
Spitting blood in saliva without coughing or vomiting blood can be concerning. This could be due to various reasons such as gum disease, oral trauma, or gastrointestinal issues. Since you have also experienced vomiting with blood in the past, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. You may need to undergo further investigations such as endoscopy to determine the cause of the bleeding. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter antacids like Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid and protect the stomach lining. However, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I've been dealing with bleeding piles and I'm currently breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe for me to use lactulose solution? Could it have any effects on my baby?
Lactulose solution is generally considered safe during breastfeeding, as it is not absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore unlikely to pass into breastmilk
