I'm a 29-year-old guy, and I spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer because of my software job. It's been about a year since I found out my uric acid levels were high, so I cut back on protein and I'm eating vegetarian now. I don't smoke, and I'm not really working out currently. My last uric acid level was at 7.0. I just got some blood work done, including Liver Function Tests, and it showed my globulin level is low at 1.81, and my albuminglobulin ratio is 2.81. Everything else in the LFT was okay. Is this something to be worried about? Should I be doing other tests to figure out what's happening, or could this all be related to my diet? What lifestyle or dietary changes do you recommend? And which kind of doctor should I get in touch with for advice?

Anal Itching and Bleeding

Possible Causes

  1. Anal Fissure: A small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by hard stools, constipation, or anal trauma.
  2. Hemorrhoids: Swollen veins in the anus or rectum, which can cause itching, bleeding, and discomfort.
  3. Anal Abscess or Fistula: A collection of pus or a tunnel-like structure in the anal tissue, which can cause itching, bleeding, and pain.

What to Do

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a proctologist, for proper evaluation and treatment.
  2. Practice Good Hygiene: Keep the anal area clean, and avoid scratching or rubbing the area.
  3. Stool Softeners: Consider taking stool softeners to prevent hard stools and reduce discomfort.

I'm 30 and have been dealing with ankylosing spondylitis since June 2020, with a positive HLA-B27 test. I really want to avoid my vertebrae fusing together but don't want to rely on medicines. Can exercises, physiotherapy, or other therapies help prevent fusion? If fusion does happen, can it be reversed with therapy or will I need surgery? I can handle the pain but the idea of my spine or neck fusing scares me. How long does fusion usually take if it happens? Any advice would mean a lot.

A combination of medicines and exercise will be the best way forward. Taken alone neither will help completely.

I've noticed something unusual these last couple of months. Whenever I have a drink, even just a little, I end up with pain in both my legs. It's weird because this starts about 23 hours after I drink, usually kicking in right when I'm trying to sleep, and sometimes it even lasts into the next day. Is this something you've heard of before, or should I be concerned enough to see a doctor?

My mom is 48 and has been dealing with RA for 17 years, mostly on allopathic meds like DMARDS and Methotrexate. In 2015, she got diagnosed with ILD and was treated with Cyclophosphamide at AIIMS. Recently, she developed Avascular necrosis in both hips (stage 2 and 3) from long-term steroid use and had core decompression surgery. Now her doctors want to stop steroids and switch to Rituximab IV. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that can completely cure these conditions? If yes, how long would the treatment take and what would it involve?

for P/E ORTHO specialist opinion is advised to the patient.
