I'm a 21-year-old guy with a sliding hiatal hernia, and my doctor said surgery isn't needed right now. I really want to start going to the gym but I'm worried about making my condition worse. Can I still do workouts or should I avoid certain exercises? Feeling pretty down about this and need some guidance.

For sliding hiatal hernia, you can still work out, but avoid exercises that strain the abdomen, such as heavy lifting or intense core workouts. Focus on low-impact activities, and discuss with your doctor for a safe exercise plan.

I've been dealing with piles for the past 3 months and it's been painful when I pass urine. I got a colonoscopy done and have the report do you think I need surgery for this?

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional (like a gastroenterologist or surgeon) for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan for your piles. While they can be managed with lifestyle changes and non-surgical treatments, surgery might be necessary in some cases. Painful urination could be related to other issues, so a consultation is crucial to determine the underlying cause and appropriate course of action.
