How can I clear my bowels every morning?

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.

I was just diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and I'm a bit worried - can this be managed with meds or will I need surgery? I'm not sure how serious it is and what the best treatment options are

A hiatal hernia is a condition where a part of the stomach pushes up into the chest through an opening in the diaphragm. While many people with hiatal hernias don't experience symptoms and don't need treatment, others may experience symptoms like heartburn or acid reflux that can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications. In some cases, especially with large or symptomatic hernias, surgery may be needed to repair the hernia

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's making me quite worried. I recently dealt with a lower respiratory infection which is now better, but I've been having these digestion issues since. After I eat, it feels like there's gas building up in my chest. It's strange because there's no pain, just a lot of discomfort. Lately, I've been feeling this tightness or gas build-up in my throat area, or maybe it's the food pipe, again without any pain but really uncomfortable. This tightness is mostly around the lower throat, and sometimes I feel it behind my sternum. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

I'm a bit concerned after an ultrasound during my wife's health checkup showed a small gallbladder polyp. The doctor mentioned it's around 15mm and said not to worry too much, but I'm still wondering about the implications. Can you suggest a good doctor in Bangalore to consult for a second opinion or further advice? Additionally, I'm curious about what role homeopathy treatment might play and if there are any reputable homeopathy doctors you recommend.

A small gallbladder polyp of 15mm size is generally considered to be low risk for malignancy. However, it is important to monitor it regularly as there is a small risk of it developing into a cancerous growth over time. In Bangalore, you can consult with a Gastroenterologist or a Hepatobiliary Surgeon for further advice on the management and monitoring of the gallbladder polyp. As for homeopathy treatment, there is limited scientific evidence to support its efficacy in treating gallbladder polyps. It is always recommended to follow evidence-based medical treatments for such conditions. If you still wish to explore homeopathy, you can consult with a qualified and experienced homeopath for personalized treatment options.
