Found a polyp with a stalk in my descending colon and feeling a bit nervous. How complicated is the surgery usually and how many days will I need to stay in the hospital? Also, how long does recovery typically take?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Polypectomy, the procedure to remove polyps, is generally a straightforward outpatient procedure that typically takes 30-60 minutes. You'll likely be able to return home the same day and resume normal activities the next day. Recovery is usually quick, with minor side effects like gas or cramping resolving within 24 hours.

View allI'm having this weird issue where my burp just gets stuck halfway, and I've been burping a lot lately. On top of that, I've got this burning feeling in my chest, and my nose feels super dry but blocked at the same time. It's really frustrating. I'm also experiencing dizziness and sometimes even a burning sensation in my feet. All of these symptoms started after I had COVID in 2021. I've had allergic rhinitis for over 5 years, but I've never dealt with GERD before. My upper endoscopy and colonoscopy came back normal, as did my ECG and echo. I'm really starting to feel desperate and kind of pathetic. Do you have any ideas on what could be going on with me?

I have multiple gallstones measuring 45 mm and I'm wondering if surgery is my only option right now. I've been sticking to a diet of just carrots, cucumbers, oranges, and apples with no other food can this kind of diet along with medication actually help dissolve the stones or should I consider other treatments?
healthy diet can help manage gallbladder symptoms and reduce the risk of new gallstone formation, it's unlikely to dissolve existing gallstones, especially those as large as 45mm. Surgery is often the recommended treatment for larger gallstones and those causing persistent pain or complications
