I'm dealing with hemorrhoids for about a year and a half now, and I'm really eager to find a solution. Could it be an issue if I start going to the gym or playing sports? Any advice would be great!

Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day..... Don't use dry toilet paper. To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper that doesn't contain perfume or alcohol.
Apply cold. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on your anus to relieve swelling.
With these treatments, hemorrhoid symptoms often go away within a week.

View allMy mom has gallstones that are 34mm in size can they be treated with medications or will she need surgery
For gallstones of 34mm, surgery is generally recommended, rather than medication. While medications can sometimes be used to dissolve cholesterol stones, this is not a reliable approach for large stones or stones causing symptoms.

I'm dealing with functional bowel disease, and my stool consistency is all over the place. Sometimes it's semisolid, and other times it's suddenly hard. I'm wondering if taking Bilwadi lehyam might help improve this? I also have a tendency to get anal fissures, so could it make my stool too hard?

I've been dealing with some bilirubin level issues and it's got me a bit worried. So, around 40 days ago, my bilirubin was at 2.27 and my doctor put me on Udiliv 300mg for 10 days. Thankfully, all the HAV, HCV, and HBs tests came back negative. After a week of the meds, my levels dropped to 1.4, which was great. I kept taking the meds till September 8th and followed a strict diet. But when I checked again on September 18th, the bilirubin jumped back up to 2.6, even though everything else like SGOT, SGPT, protein levels were fine. Then, on October 4th, it increased again to 2.83. I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on why my bilirubin keeps rising like this?
The cause of the fluctuating bilirubin levels despite taking Udiliv 300mg and following a strict diet could be due to various reasons. It is important to consider factors such as medication adherence, underlying liver conditions, diet, lifestyle habits, and other possible causes of elevated bilirubin levels. It is good that your SGOT, SGPT, and protein levels are normal, indicating that there may not be significant liver damage. However, the rising bilirubin levels suggest ongoing liver stress or dysfunction. One possible reason for the increase in bilirubin levels could be a recurrence of the underlying liver condition that was initially treated with Udiliv. It is also important to consider other liver function tests, imaging studies, and possibly a liver biopsy to further evaluate the cause of the elevated bilirubin levels. In this case, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and further management.
