How can I clear my bowels every morning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated is a great way to regulate digestion. People who support a water flush for colon cleansing recommend drinking six to eight glasses of lukewarm water per day. Also try eating plenty of foods high in fiber & water content. This includes fruits and vegetables like watermelons, tomatoes, lettuce, and celery.

View allI've been having really bad pain when passing stool for the past 3 weeks - it's gotten so bad I can't even go to work. A doctor back home recommended surgery but I'm not sure what to do. Are there other treatment options I could try first or should I go ahead with the surgery?
It sounds like you're dealing with significant pain while passing stool, and it's impacting your ability to work. Given the doctor's recommendation for surgery, it's wise to explore all options, but it's also crucial to get a second opinion. You could start with conservative treatments for painful bowel movements, such as dietary changes, over-the-counter medications, and warm baths. If these don't provide relief, discuss with your doctor if other options like prescription medications or physical therapy might be appropriate before considering surgery.

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm a bit concerned after having my gallbladder removed about six weeks ago, since my recent report shows fat changes in my liver and that its enlarged to 16.4 cm. The surgeon didnt mention anything about it, which has left me wondering how serious this might be. Im all about sticking to a low-fat diet and havent hit any bumps there, but Im curious about how I can help my liver reverse these fatty changes. Are there specific foods I should be eating or avoiding? Also, would adding a liver tonic to my routine be useful, and if so, could you suggest any? One last thing that's been on my mindcan I enjoy alcohol now, just in moderation and on occasion? I'm a 23-year-old male, 5'10", weighing 87 kg, and luckily, I dont have any issues with sugar levels or blood pressure.
Avoid drinking and smoking as they increase the load on your liver. Avoid fried foods and processed snacks. Restrict yourself from having spicy foods and try to opt for a bland diet. You may need to take liver protective medication such as Ursocol or Tricholine.
