I'm dealing with a peptic ulcer and I'm really not sure what foods are okay for me to eat. Could you give me some guidance on a diet that would help with this? Also, any advice on the best times to eat would be super helpful. I'm just trying to manage this the best I can.

Decapeptyl Injection Before Frozen Embryo Transfer (IVF)
What is Decapeptyl?
Decapeptyl is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) injection, containing triptorelin, used to suppress ovarian function.
Why is Decapeptyl used before Frozen Embryo Transfer (IVF)?
- Ovarian suppression: Decapeptyl helps suppress ovarian function, reducing the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and improving embryo implantation rates.
- Synchronization: Decapeptyl synchronizes the menstrual cycle, allowing for better timing of the frozen embryo transfer.
Administration and Dosage
- Injection timing: Decapeptyl is typically administered 7-14 days before the planned frozen embryo transfer.
- Dosage: The recommended dosage is 0.1-0.2 mL (0.1-0.2 mg) of Decapeptyl, administered via subcutaneous injection.
Common Side Effects
- Hot flashes
- Mood changes (e.g., anxiety, depression)
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Sleep disturbances
- Vaginal dryness
- Mild pain or swelling at the injection site
Less Common Side Effects
- Ovarian cysts
- Changes in liver function
- Allergic reactions (rare)
Precautions and Contraindications
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Decapeptyl is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Hypersensitivity: Avoid Decapeptyl if you have a known hypersensitivity to triptorelin or other GnRH agonists.

I've had this stomach issue for 7 months where it feels like there's a constant knot in my upper stomach and throat. Did an endoscopy 5 months ago showing small hiatus hernia and some erosions. Tried multiple meds like rabeprazole, levosulpride, montilucast for months with no relief. One doctor now suggests surgery but I'm unsure. What could be causing this persistent discomfort and is surgery really needed?
upper GI endoscopy,urea breath test and USG is advised.RW with the report.

I recently got my liver function test results and I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level came back at 49. Is that considered high? Should I be looking into any kind of treatment for this? Also, my SGOT level is 34. Could you help me understand if these numbers are something to be concerned about?
Your SGPT (49) is slightly elevated, as normal levels are typically below 40 UL. SGOT (34) is within the normal range. It's important to discuss this result with your doctor to understand the underlying cause, but mild elevations may not always require treatment. A healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise can help maintain liver health.
