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 allMy sister has been dealing with dengue and fever for about six days now. Her blood test showed her SGPT level is at 432.80 and SGOT is 551.30. I'm really concerned about what this could mean. Could you explain the implications of these levels and any way we might be able to bring them down?
To help reduce these levels and support her liver function, she can take a medication called Liv 52. The recommended dosage is 2 tablets twice a day after meals. Additionally, she should drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and avoid alcohol and fatty foods. It is important for her to follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of her condition.

I was diagnosed with an 11mm gall bladder stone last year and currently can't get surgery because of covid. Are there any medicines that can help dissolve the stone or at least manage the pain and vomiting until I can get the operation
Gallstones can sometimes be managed with ursodeoxycholic acid; however, surgery is the definitive treatment once symptoms appear.
