I'm a couple of days post-operation for piles and now I'm dealing with a fever, along with some cold symptoms and body pain. Is this something that just happens sometimes, or should I be worried that it's more serious?
Bathing after eating fruits like mango and banana is generally safe. No specific gap is required, but consider: 1. _Digestion time_: Wait at least 30-60 minutes after eating to allow for digestion. 2. _Blood sugar levels_: Fruits like mango and banana can cause a temporary spike in blood sugar. Bathing shortly after may lead to: - Dizziness - Lightheadedness - Shivering To be cautious: 1. Wait 1-2 hours after eating fruits before bathing. 2. Take a warm shower instead of a cold bath to avoid shocking your system. No serious health issues will arise from bathing after eating fruits. However, being mindful of digestion time and blood sugar levels can ensure a comfortable bathing experience.

I have several 57mm stones in my gallbladder can they be removed without surgery or is that my only option
While gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy) is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, including those as large as 57mm, there are some non-surgical options available. These include medications to dissolve stones, and in rare cases, shock wave lithotripsy. However, the effectiveness and suitability of these alternatives vary, and surgery may still be necessary, especially for larger or symptomatic stones
