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.

View allI'm having some trouble and could use your advice. Every time I go to the toilet, there's blood, and I'm really worried it might be piles. I've tried using this cream called beclomethasone, but it hasn't helped at all. Do you have any advice on other ways I can find relief or should I be doing something different?

I'm feeling fit and have no pain, but my pre-employment test showed my SPGT is 75 and SGOT is 40. The examiner suggested I take Udiliv 300 twice a day. Could you please tell me how long it might take to get these levels back to normal if I follow a balanced diet and abstain from alcohol? I don't drink often, so I'm wondering about my career prospects with these results. Should I consider taking Liv.52 DS instead?
SGPT and SGOT are mildly elevated and you are non alcoholic. We need to rule out other causes. A detailed Medical history including your height and weight, diet history, recent history of fever and jaundice may help us to guide you accordingly. There are ways to evaluate it. You may need to get few investigations based on history to make a diagnosis. LIV52 is an ayurvedic preparation and so I may not comment on it. About udiliv it has got some specific indications.
