I had an ultrasound that showed two echogenic foci measuring 4.6mm and 3mm but my liver, kidneys, spleen, and pancreas are normal. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm hesitant can this be treated with medications instead or should I wait a month to see if it resolves on its own? I really don't want to rush into a laparoscopy unless absolutely necessary. What would you suggest?

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.

View allI'm experiencing this strange sensation like something is crawling in my anus, but I can't see any worms or anything visible. This usually happens after I use the toilet and if I've been using the water pipe a lot. Could it possibly be some kind of infection from the water? There's no itching, just an uncomfortable and weird feeling like something's crawling inside. What could this be?
Possible helminthic infection. I recommend taking a single dose of Albendazole 400mg tablet to treat the possible infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Good day, I've been having trouble sleeping at night for almost 2 months now, and it's really starting to worry me. My throat always feels dry even though I drink water all the time. I also experience some chest pain and burping, sometimes even heartburn. I've noticed bumps on the back of my tongue and a white patch in the center too. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I've got this really sharp, needle-like pain in my stomach, and it's been going on since yesterday. Could this be something serious or is it likely to be something that might just pass? Should I be doing something specific to help with the pain?
