I was wondering if you could help me with something. Last night, I felt something moving in my anus after going to the toilet. There's also this little pain I've been experiencing in my lower left stomach and groin area. Sometimes it even feels like there's some kind of obstruction when I'm trying to have a bowel movement or when I urinate. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

The sensation of something moving in your anus, accompanied by pain in the lower left stomach and groin area, and occasional obstruction during bowel movements or urination, may indicate a possible rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, or anal fissure; schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist,

I've been told I have a gallstone just one, around 4.9mm. Can homeopathy actually help dissolve it, or is surgery my only option? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.

Actigall (Ursodiol) is the primary drug used to dissolve gallstones. It is a naturally-occurring bile acid. This drug has almost no side effects but can rarely lead to increases in cholesterol or diarrhea. This is in marked contrast to other drugs which have been used in the past.

My friend has been experiencing stomach pain ever since she lifted a heavy bucket of water two days ago. She's tried some meds, but they didnt help at all. She even tried a massage to relieve the pain, but it seems to have made things worse. She saw a doctor who said its normal and will heal soon, but there's been no improvement. Should we be concerned, or is there something else we could try?

I've been experiencing some trouble breathing after I have dinner and then lie down in bed. It's strange because it doesn't really happen all the time, just usually after I eat and go to lie down. I end up having to take these deep breaths through my mouth because it feels like I'm not getting enough air. But what's odd is that if I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't have the same problem. Is this something I should be concerned about?
