I'm really concerned about my husband's health. He has gallstones, and theyre about 6.5mm in size according to his recent reports. I'm just wondering if they really have to be operated on. If surgery is necessary, could you recommend a good doctor in Hyderabad? If its not urgent, what can he do to manage or prevent any complications?

Your husband's gallstone size of 6.5mm is considered relatively small, and surgery might not be immediately necessary. However, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

I've been having these recurring stomach aches every time I try to go to the toilet, but nothing actually happens, just pain on that side. It's really frustrating because it doesn't seem to improve. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just clear up on its own? I've been trying to figure out what could be causing it. Any insights?

It sounds like you're experiencing frequent bowel movements and pain on one side, which could be due to a digestive issue, such as irritable bowel syndrome or an infection. It's important to consult with a doctor to identify the exact cause and get appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with functional bowel disease, and my stool consistency is all over the place. Sometimes it's semisolid, and other times it's suddenly hard. I'm wondering if taking Bilwadi lehyam might help improve this? I also have a tendency to get anal fissures, so could it make my stool too hard?
