View allI'm really concerned about my health lately. I've been experiencing stomach pain for the past two days and it's been getting worse whenever I pass gas. The pain seems to be focused on the left side. Along with that, I've noticed that I'm going to the bathroom to urinate way more frequently, like every 20 minutes, and I end up going about four times in that period. I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to worry me. Could you help me understand what might be happening?
Based on your lab results, it appears that you have: 1. _Subclinical hypothyroidism_: Elevated TSH levels (>4.5 UmL) with normal T3 and T4 levels. 2. _Possible Eltroxin (T4) dosage adjustment needed_: Your current dosage might not be sufficient to maintain optimal TSH levels. _Treatment:_ 1. _Dosage adjustment_: Your doctor may increase your Eltroxin dosage to achieve optimal TSH levels (typically between 0.5-4.5 UmL). 2. _TSH monitoring_: Regular blood tests (every 6-8 weeks) to monitor TSH levels and adjust your dosage accordingly. 3. _Consider adding T3 (liothyronine)_: If your TSH levels remain elevated despite T4 dosage adjustments, your doctor might consider adding T3 to your treatment regimen. _Important:_ 1. _Do not adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor_. 2. _Continue taking your current dosage until your doctor advises otherwise_. 3. _Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss your lab results and treatment plan_.

I'm really worried because I've been having this left side stomach pain for nearly a year now, and it seems to be getting worse each day. What can I do about it?
Persistent stomach pain on the left side that's worsening over time may indicate an underlying condition such as gastritis, peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, or diverticulitis; consider consulting a gastroenterologist

I've been diagnosed with multiple gallstones measuring 45 mm and get severe pain every 15 days if I eat anything other than raw fruits and vegetables. Right now I'm only eating cucumber, apple, orange, carrot and other fresh uncooked foods - no cooked meals at all. Is homeopathy effective for treating this or is surgery my only option? The pain keeps coming back and I'm worried about my restricted diet
For multiple gallstones causing frequent severe pain, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is generally the most effective treatment, Homeopathy may offer some symptom relief, but it's not a proven treatment for gallstones,
