I have several gallstones with the largest one around 5-6mm. Is there any medication that can help dissolve them? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. What options do I have?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Small gallstones may dissolve with ursodeoxycholic acid over time, but response varies. Regular monitoring is essential if avoiding surgery.

View allI've had air stuck in my throat for several months and I'm burping a lot. Usually, it goes away, but tonight there's this pressure that's not letting up. When I drink water, it seems to help for just a moment, but then the air comes right back up. It's really making it hard for me to sleep, and I feel like I can't breathe properly with all this air stuck there. What could be going on?
That could be Gastritis,no need to worry avoid spicy foods visit Gastroenterologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with a grade 2 fatty liver, and I'm currently on medication for it. But I'm really worried because if I stop my meds even for a day, I've noticed the pain comes back. It's on the left side just below my ribs, and it's usually triggered by gas buildup. I'm taking Udiliv 150mg, Eiref, and Fibator. Do you think these meds are right for me? And how long does it usually take to get better with this condition?
It seems like you are on the right track with your current medication for fatty liver grade 2. Udiliv 150mg is a good choice to help improve liver function and Eiref can help with gas build up. Fibator is also commonly used to manage cholesterol levels which can benefit liver health. It is important to continue taking these medications as prescribed by your doctor. As for the time it will take to cure you, it is important to understand that fatty liver disease is a chronic condition that may require long-term management. The goal of treatment is to prevent progression of the disease and manage symptoms. It is best to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm experiencing quite a bit of pain when I pass stool and even when I'm sitting. It feels like it might be related to piles or possibly a fissure. On top of that, I have a lot of issues with gas. Could all these symptoms be connected, and what should I do to feel better?
It must be A Fissure. You can try conservative treatment for some time. If not relieved, surgery will be required. See that you do not have constipation. Stools should be soft. You can take Cremaffin Pink at night after dinner for that. Before passing stools & after that apply Anovate ointment around the fissure.
