I'm really stressed out about my health right now. I've been dealing with hemorrhoids and started taking Himalaya Pilex tablets because I heard they could help. I was taking two tablets, twice a day, but after 14 days, my hemorrhoids got worse instead of better. Plus, I've noticed the nerves in my arms and legs are swollen, I'm hearing noises in my ear, and my TSH levels jumped to 9.2 from normal. I've stopped taking the Pilex tablets, but the swelling and noise in my ear keep getting worse. I'm really worried and looking for advice on how to stop the effects and what I should do next. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Your symptoms may be multifactorial and could involve both a side effect from the Pilex tablets and a potential thyroid issue. Stopping the medication was a good first step, but a thorough evaluation by a doctor is essential to rule out other health concerns and guide you on the next steps for treatment. It's crucial to monitor your thyroid function and address any potential underlying issues.
Please get medical attention as soon as possible.

I've been experiencing pain in my rectum for about a month now, especially when I'm passing stool. It's really uncomfortable and I'm worried about what might be causing it. What could this issue be, and what type of doctor should I reach out to?
Rectal pain can have many causes, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, constipation, infections, or even more serious conditions like abscesses or inflammatory bowel disease. It's important to consult with a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, focus on gentle self-care methods like warm sitz baths, increasing fiber intake, and avoiding straining.
