I'm hoping for some advice on a couple of habits I've had since I was a kid. I've been eating slate pencil since I was in 4th grade, and now that I'm 23, I'm wondering if that's harmful. Also, every now and then, I find myself eating raw rice. Are there any risks with that? On top of all this, I've been dealing with a pretty severe problem of piles. Could these habits be making my condition worse? Would love to get some insights on this.

View allI've been feeling a bit uneasy ever since this incident a few months back when I was eating crunchy peanut butter and it got stuck in my food pipe. I experienced chest pain for about a week after that. Though it's been three months now, I'm still feeling kind of uneasy. I sometimes notice a vibration on the lower left side of my chest and have been dealing with this back pain for a couple of weeks. Is this something I should be worried about, or could it be related to acidity? Would really appreciate any advice you might have.
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

My friend has been dealing with gallstones and keeps having bad stomach pain. The doctor recommended surgery, but is that really the only option? Are there other treatments that could help instead of going straight to surgery?
While surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is a common treatment for gallstones, it's not always the only option. There are several nonsurgical approaches that may be considered, especially if surgery isn't a good fit or if the patient prefers a less invasive approach

My partner is showing early signs of jaundice and we're already working on treatment and prevention. I'm just wondering, is it safe for us to have sex while they're going through this?
Yes, it is generally safe to have sex during jaundice as long as both partners are comfortable. However, it is important to ensure that the underlying cause of jaundice has been treated and that there are no other complications present. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
