Can you tell me if there's a surgery to stop bile from flowing into the stomach? I've been having issues and want to know what options are out there
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, there are surgical options to address bile reflux and prevent bile from flowing into the stomach. These procedures typically involve diverting the bile flow or strengthening the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to prevent it from leaking bile.

View allMy mom is 56 years old, 5'2¬ù tall, and weighs 55 kg. She has multiple gallstones ranging from 4mm to 10-11 mm. Can this be treated naturally with homeopathy or ayurvedic medicine, or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend for her condition?
For gallstones, especially those larger than 10mm, surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is generally recommended for effective removal. While homeopathic and ayurvedic approaches may offer symptom relief and support overall digestive health, they are not proven to dissolve or remove gallstones.

My mom's been having some pain in her upper abdomen for the past few days. It only seems to happen when we press around that area or if she does some unusual movements. I'm really worried about what's going on there. Could it be something serious or should we just wait it out?
Your mother may be experiencing some musculoskeletal pain in her upper abdomen. This type of pain can be due to muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend she take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
