I'm really struggling with this pain I've had for a month now. I've seen several doctors, and they've given me tablets, but nothing seems to help. I don't have a cough or fever, just this persistent pain in my right upper abdomen. Sometimes the pain spreads to my back and other times to my right chest. I'm worried if I might have broken ribs or a liver issue. What do you think I should do?

I thought I might have hemorrhoids because I've been taking phentermine for weight loss and heard that could be a side effect. It started with my anus being swollen and painful during bowel movements, and it's been like this for over a week now. But just now, I noticed a green, booger-like discharge from my anus. I took a picture to get a better idea of what's happening, and it looks like there's a blister down there. It's really painful around the blister and the surrounding area. I'm a bit freaked out because it shouldnt be an STDIm married and was just tested not too long ago. There's only this one blister. It's red around the edges and white on top. I really don't know what's going on. Any advice?

Is surgery really not a good option for hiatal hernia? Can Ayurveda actually cure it or does it sometimes heal on its own without treatment? I'm worried about the best approach for this issue

I had surgery for piles a while ago and have been using laxatives for about 9-10 months to help with recovery. Now I can't seem to pass stool without them. How do I know if I've become dependent on laxatives and what can I do to fix this?

Long-term laxative use may cause dependence; gradually taper under medical supervision and increase fiber and hydration.
