Question

I'm a 25-year-old male and I'm really worried I might have hemorrhoids. I've been noticing a few symptoms lately and it's been quite unsettling for me. Is it possible to treat this with just medications and avoid surgery?

Hemorrhoids can often be managed and cured with medications and lifestyle changes, avoiding surgery; to alleviate symptoms, try stool softeners (psyllium), fiber supplements, topical creams (hydrocortisone, witch hazel), pain relievers (acetaminophen), and warm sitz baths; make lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, avoiding straining during bowel movements, and managing constipation;

What is a natural laxative?

Question

I've been dealing with some stomach issues lately, feeling really heavy and having a lot of gas and acidity whenever I eat. It's making me feel tired all over, with weakness, fatigue, and headaches. Also, for the past 25 days, my legs have been feeling weak and fatigued, especially when I'm trying to sleep at night. It's been pretty tough on me, and I'm really hoping for some advice or support on what might be causing this and how I can feel better. What do you think could be going on and what should I do?

Question

Hey, so I've got some bilirubin levels here, and I'm a bit confused about what they mean. My Bilirubin Total is 1.95, Bilirubin Direct is 0.57, and Bilirubin Indirect is 1.38. I'm not sure if these numbers are something I should be worried about. Could you let me know which type of doctor I should talk to about this?
