I'm really worried about having stones in my stomach. Can you tell me what could be causing this to happen? And if someone has this issue, are there specific foods they should eat or avoid? I'm also curious if it's okay to eat cucumbers or tomatoes. I'd really appreciate your advice on this.

Stomach stones, also known as gastroliths, typically form due to accumulation of calcium salts, bile, and other substances, often caused by factors like excessive gastric acid, bile reflux, or dietary habits; to manage stomach stones, it's recommended to eat foods that are easy to digest, such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and lean proteins, while avoiding spicy, fatty, or acidic foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and cucumbers, which can irritate the stomach and worsen symptoms.

View allMy mom has severe burning in her rectum but no blood in her stools. We thought it might be piles, but the doctor recommended surgery. What could be the exact issue and is surgery really necessary? Are there any effective ointments or tablets that could help instead?
The burning sensation in the rectum, especially if it's not related to blood in the stool, could be due to several conditions besides hemorrhoids, including anal fissures, proctitis, or even infections. While hemorrhoid surgery is sometimes necessary, it's not always the first line of treatment and other options should be explored. Topical creams, ointments, and in some cases, oral medications can provide relief and may be sufficient to manage the symptoms without surgery

I'm a 25-year-old male and I'm really worried I might have hemorrhoids. I've been noticing a few symptoms lately and it's been quite unsettling for me. Is it possible to treat this with just medications and avoid surgery?
Hemorrhoids can often be managed and cured with medications and lifestyle changes, avoiding surgery; to alleviate symptoms, try stool softeners (psyllium), fiber supplements, topical creams (hydrocortisone, witch hazel), pain relievers (acetaminophen), and warm sitz baths; make lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, avoiding straining during bowel movements, and managing constipation;

I've been dealing with this loose motion issue for the past couple of days, and it's getting really concerning. It's not really watery, but there's a lot of mucus in it, and Ive had to go about 45 times. Plus, there's this annoying pain in my stomach. What could be going on?
