I'm a mom to a 23-day-old baby and was diagnosed with gallbladder stones during my 8th month of pregnancy. Today I'm feeling pain in my upper abdomen again. The stone size is 9mm. Is it safe for me to take drotin tablets right now? I can't consider surgery at this stage with such a small baby

Drotin is generally safe post-pregnancy but consult your OB; manage diet and hydration, and avoid surgery if pain is mild.

View allI'm a bit worried since my scan showed a polyp in my gall bladder. Is this similar to a stone, or is it more like an overgrown cell?
Boil on Foot _Healing Process_ 1. _Self-limiting_: Most boils heal on their own within 1-3 weeks. 2. _Warm compresses_: Applying warm compresses can help bring the pus to a head and encourage drainage. _When to See a Doctor_ 1. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience severe pain, swelling, redness, or pus. 2. _No improvement_: If the boil doesn't improve or worsens within 1-2 weeks. 3. _Recurring boils_: If you get recurring boils or have a weakened immune system. 4. _Fever or chills_: If you have a fever or chills, which can indicate a more serious infection. _Home Remedies_ 1. _Warm compresses_: Apply warm compresses 3-4 times a day. 2. _Keep clean_: Keep the affected area clean and dry. 3. _Avoid squeezing_: Avoid squeezing or popping the boil, as this can lead to infection.

Why do I feel weak after pooping?
Weakness after defecation is due to vaso vagal reaction. When you tense abdominal muscles or strain to pass stool, vagus nerve is stimulated which decreases the heart rate. Also, blood flow to the heart decreases causing the blood pressure to drop. Hence, decreased heart rate with drop in blood pressure together makes you light headed or weak after passing stool.

I've had Crohn's disease for two years and now I'm dealing with vomiting and frequent bowel movements. Doctors say there are obstructions and I might need surgery. Can this be treated with medication or is surgery really necessary?
In Crohn's disease, vomiting, and frequent bowel movements, along with obstructions, can indicate a need for surgery, especially if medical treatment doesn't provide relief. While medications like anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and biologics can help manage inflammation and symptoms, they might not fully resolve severe obstructions or complications like strictures or fistulas. Surgery may be necessary to remove damaged tissue, relieve blockages, or address complications like abscesses or perforations.
