I'm having this stomach pain for the past two weeks, and I can't seem to figure out why. It doesn't seem to matter what I eatwhether it's homemade rice and dal or even spicy or sweet foodsthe pain just keeps coming back. It feels a bit like gastric pain sometimes, but there's no diarrhea or vomiting. Even with light or non-masala meals, the pain persists. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Found a polyp with a stalk in my descending colon and feeling a bit nervous. How complicated is the surgery usually and how many days will I need to stay in the hospital? Also, how long does recovery typically take?

Polypectomy, the procedure to remove polyps, is generally a straightforward outpatient procedure that typically takes 30-60 minutes. You'll likely be able to return home the same day and resume normal activities the next day. Recovery is usually quick, with minor side effects like gas or cramping resolving within 24 hours.

I found out I have gallstones around 0.88 mm in my gallbladder from a USG report but I don't have any pain they were discovered accidentally during a scan for something else. Do I really need surgery or can they be treated with medicine?

Gallstones detected incidentally without pain often don‚Äôt need surgery immediately but should be monitored for symptoms or complications.

I'm dealing with loose motion and I have Norflox TZ and Norflox 400 at home. I'm not sure which one to take and I don't really know the difference between the two. Could you help me out, or maybe suggest something else if these aren't the best options?
