Question 1

I've been dealing with internal hemorrhoids for about 3 years now, but over the last 6 months it's gotten worse with frequent bleeding. I'm really worried and don't know much about this condition. Surgery isn't an option for me are there natural ways to treat this? What would you suggest for relief and healing?

Accepted Answer

Internal hemorrhoids can be managed naturally, especially with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments. Increasing fiber in your diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can significantly reduce symptoms and promote healing. Over-the-counter creams and suppositories containing hydrocortisone, lidocaine, or witch hazel can also provide relief from pain, swelling, and itching.

Question 2

I found out I have a 13 mm gallstone but I'm not feeling any pain or discomfort right now is there any way to get rid of it without surgery

Accepted Answer

While you don't have symptoms currently with a 13mm gallstone, the best approach is usually to consult with a general surgeon. While some options exist to dissolve or remove gallstones without surgery, the decision on whether or not to intervene depends on your overall health, the size and type of gallstone, and your individual risk factors.

Question 3

I've been dealing with some pretty bad gas and acidity for the past month, and I recently found out I have a gallbladder stone. I'm worried these might be related. What should I do? Are there any ways to ease these symptoms naturally, or should I consider medical treatment right away? Any advice would be appreciated!

Accepted Answer

gall bladder stone is not the reason for acidity

I'm having trouble finding Silybon 140 that was prescribed for me to take three times a day. Would it be okay if I instead take two doses of Silybon 70, also three times a day? I'm a bit worried about making sure I get the right amount of medication.

-Yes, you can use two Silybon 70 tablets three times a day as a substitute for Silybon 140, as the total dosage will be the same. However, it's always best to confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before making any changes.
