I have a 7mm gallstone can it be treated with udiliv 300 or is surgery necessary for this size? What would you recommend?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a 7mm gallstone, surgery is often recommended as the first-line treatment due to the relatively low chance of it passing naturally and the potential for complications. Udiliv 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid) can be used to dissolve small, cholesterol-based gallstones, but its effectiveness is limited and may take months or years.

View allI'm really worried because my CT scan showed that I have IBD, and now I'm dealing with worms in my stomach. I can definitely feel them, and it's really uncomfortable. Should I even consider taking medicine for worms right now? I'm not currently on any medication for my IBD, so I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be great!

I've been on amoxicillin for a bacterial infection and I'm about four days into taking 2 tablets of 625mg each per day. I've started noticing that my stool looks black and tar-like. Is this a normal side effect from the meds or should I be worried about something more serious?
Passing black, tar-like stool can be a concerning side effect known as melena, which may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding. It is important to consult your healthcare provider immediately. In the meantime, you can consider taking a probiotic supplement to help maintain the balance of good bacteria in your gut.

I've been dealing with slow transit constipation and HiFiber seems to be making it worse. My doctor advised against long-term laxative use but I'm not seeing improvement. Could surgery be a viable option for my condition?
