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 allI've been having this chronic dry mouth and really bad breath, so my general physician suggested an Upper G.I Endoscopy and some other tests. Everything else like stool and urine tests came back normal, but the Endoscopy showed I've got mild antral gastritis. I went to see a gastroenterologist and took the prescribed meds for about three weeks, but sadly, there's been no improvement. Can you recommend any medicines or treatments specifically for mild antral gastritis? I'm really looking for some relief here.
Kindly continue the same medicine given by gastroenterologist for one more week if it is still not reduced kindly consult your respective gastroenterologist.

I'm dealing with nonstop burping for the past couple of days, and it all began when I was doing some neck exercises. It just doesnt seem to stop. Could you please help me figure out whats going on and how I can make it go away?
The continuous burping issue, triggered by neck exercises, may be related to swallowing air, irritating the throat, or stimulating the vagus nerve, which can cause stomach contractions; to alleviate the issue, try the following: eat slowly, avoid chewing gum, drink water slowly, avoid carbonated drinks, apply heat to your stomach, and practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing;

I'm really worried about my dad's condition. The doctor mentioned he has to take this Pantocid HP kit, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to use it. Also, are there any side effects we should be aware of? Since he's diabetic too, does that pose any additional risks with these meds? Could really use some guidance here.
The Pantocid HP kit is commonly used to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterial infection in the stomach, which can cause ulcers. The kit usually contains a combination of three medications: Pantoprazole (40mg), Clarithromycin (500mg), and Amoxicillin (1000mg). It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of the treatment to ensure effectiveness and minimize the risk of side effects. Since your father is a diabetic patient, it is important to monitor his blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication, as it may interact with his diabetes medication. It is advisable to inform the doctor about his diabetes and any other medications he is taking to avoid any potential drug interactions.
