I'm really worried about my 16-year-old son. He's been having pain in his lower abdomen for the last couple of days, and it seems to stretch towards the left. This is the third time it's happened in the past two months. The last time, we got all the urine tests, CBC, and an ultrasound done, and they all came back normal. Our physician just gave him some regular medication, and the pain went away. I'm wondering if there's something else we should be doing or if there's a specific cause we might be missing?

View allI've had this stomach issue for 7 months where it feels like there's a constant knot in my upper stomach and throat. Did an endoscopy 5 months ago showing small hiatus hernia and some erosions. Tried multiple meds like rabeprazole, levosulpride, montilucast for months with no relief. One doctor now suggests surgery but I'm unsure. What could be causing this persistent discomfort and is surgery really needed?
upper GI endoscopy,urea breath test and USG is advised.RW with the report.

I have multiple 8mm stones in my gallbladder is there any way to get rid of them without surgery or operation
Gallbladder stones, especially multiple 8mm ones, usually do not dissolve on their own and can cause pain or complications. Non-surgical options like oral bile acid pills (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid) have limited effectiveness and are rarely successful for stones this size. Surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) remains the most effective and permanent treatment.

Can rectal prolapse get better without surgery or do I always need an operation What treatments or home remedies actually work to fix it Would doing Kegel exercises help pull it back up or is that not effective for this issue
In adults, rectal prolapse typically requires surgical intervention, as it often doesn't resolve on its own or with conservative treatments. While some lifestyle changes and exercises like Kegels can help manage symptoms and strengthen pelvic floor muscles, they are not a definitive cure for a prolapse.
