I get hiccups at least once or twice a day and they can really hurt. Ive been doing some research and found out I have a cyst on my chest. Could there be a connection between the hiccups and the cyst, or is this something I should be worried about?

View allI'm really struggling with anal fissures because of constipation for over a year now, and I've been in a lot of pain. I tried seeing a gynecologist, and they gave me some meds for five days, but nothing's changed. I'm usually on a routine in the morning with bowel movements, but it's been painful for so long. I've switched up my diet to include more fiber and fluids, but I still feel the pain. The only relief I get is from using Cremaffin Plus syrup at night and nifecaine cream around bowel movements, but if I miss the syrup even for a night, the pain is unbearable the next day. We're thinking about having kids, but I'm concerned if these medications might affect conception. How long can I keep using the syrup without any long-term effects? Is there a solid solution for my situation, and what can I expect if there's a treatment?
It sounds like you're experiencing chronic pain due to an anal fissure, which can be aggravated by constipation. Despite your efforts with diet and medications, if the pain persists, it might be worth seeking a second opinion, as other treatments like topical nitrates or botox injections could help. Regarding conception, Cremaffin Plus and nifecaine cream are generally safe for short-term use, but it's advisable to discuss them with your doctor during the planning phase. Treatment duration and improvement vary, but typically, with proper management, healing can occur in a few weeks to months.

My dad's HbsAg test came back positive, so it looks like he's got Hepatitis B. I'm really worried about what this means for his health. Can you please help us understand what our next steps should be for treatment and how we might cure this?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. While there is no cure for Hepatitis B, treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and preventing complications. Antiviral medications such as Entecavir or Tenofovir are commonly prescribed to help reduce the viral load in the body and slow down the progression of the disease. It's important for your father to follow up with a healthcare provider regularly for monitoring and to discuss the best treatment plan for his specific situation.

I'm worried about my health. My SGPTALAT level is at 47, but I heard the normal range is 10-40. Is this something I should be concerned about? I also experience a lot of gas and occasionally feel like vomiting. Spicy foods seem to trigger some problems for me, and it sometimes forces me to rush to the toilet 3-4 times. Could you please give me some advice on what's happening?
avoid spicy and junk food
