I'm dealing with a severe piles issue with bleeding, swelling, pain, and a burning sensation. Bowel movements are really difficult, and I have to strain a lot. I read that thuthi keerai might help treat piles, but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old baby is it safe to take right now? I don't want surgery, just some temporary relief since I can't pass stool normally. What can I do to manage this?

To manage severe piles while breastfeeding, prioritize gentle relief strategies. Focus on fiber-rich foods and stool softeners to ease bowel movements, and consider topical treatments like witch hazel or aloe vera for pain and swelling. Sitz baths and ice packs can also provide temporary relief. Avoid straining and long toilet sessions, and consult your doctor or a lactation consultant regarding the safety of any specific medications or herbal remedies while breastfeeding

View allI've been dealing with this annoying acidity every morning for the last few days. It's like I wake up and feel this urge to vomit, and sometimes there's a lot of gas too. Lately, it even feels like there's acid being released or something. Could you tell me what might be going on and what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux. I recommend taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help with gas. Make sure to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help alleviate your symptoms.

I'm a bit worried about a small polyp in my gallbladder. Can it lead to any type of gallbladder cancer? Also, I feel some minor pain in my abdomen when I'm hungry. Could that be because of the polyp?
Having small size polyp in the gallbladder can potentially increase the risk of developing gallbladder cancer, although it is rare. The minor pain in your abdomen when you are hungry may or may not be directly related to the polyp. It is important to monitor the size of the polyp regularly through imaging studies and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. As for medication, there is no specific drug to treat gallbladder polyps. However, if you are experiencing pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed, following the recommended dosage instructions on the package. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
