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?

Small gallstones may dissolve with ursodeoxycholic acid over time, but response varies. Regular monitoring is essential if avoiding surgery.

I'm experiencing some discomfort due to eating spicy food. It's causing pain in my rectum, especially at the tip of my anus, and it's making bowel movements really painful. My digestion feels off and I can't seem to have a proper motion. Could you recommend a specialist who might be able to help with these symptoms?

I'm dealing with really painful hemorrhoids and it's getting hard for me to function properly. My stool is really hard and difficult to pass, and I just end up feeling so bloated if I don't have a clear stomach. It's painful whether I'm sitting or walking and I'm honestly super stressed out about it. I've been trying homeopathic medicines but they don't seem to do anything for me anymore. Can you suggest anything that might actually help? Also, things like isabgol that are supposed to act as stool softeners seem to harden it more, which is confusing. What should I do?
