I'm really worried because my histopathological report for a tuberculosis ultrasound-guided biopsy came back negative, but my CT scan shows I have enlarged lymph nodes and tuberculosis. I've been on anti-tuberculosis treatment for over three months, but I'm not seeing any improvement. My abdominal pain is getting worse, especially in the upper abdomen. Could it be something else? The biopsy was negative for cancer, and Buscopan injections don't relieve the pain at all. Only Tramadol helps. What could be causing such severe pain, and are there any tests that could help figure this out? Someone mentioned a capsule endoscopy - could that be useful?

View allI've been having really bad pain when passing stool for the past 3 weeks - it's gotten so bad I can't even go to work. A doctor back home recommended surgery but I'm not sure what to do. Are there other treatment options I could try first or should I go ahead with the surgery?
It sounds like you're dealing with significant pain while passing stool, and it's impacting your ability to work. Given the doctor's recommendation for surgery, it's wise to explore all options, but it's also crucial to get a second opinion. You could start with conservative treatments for painful bowel movements, such as dietary changes, over-the-counter medications, and warm baths. If these don't provide relief, discuss with your doctor if other options like prescription medications or physical therapy might be appropriate before considering surgery.

I'm really worried about my wife. It's been about two months since she had our baby, and she's having really bad pain in her upper abdomen and back. We got an ultrasound done, and it showed multiple stones. Last month, she had a severe pain attack, and she's still having mild pain in her upper abdomen and between her ribs. Is removing the gallbladder the only solution, or are there other options we should consider? Would love some guidance on what we can do.
Given your wife's severe pain, multiple gallstones, and recurrent attacks, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) may be the most effective treatment option

I'm using 10ml of this syrup at night for my fissure, as my doctor suggested for two weeks. It's been 8 days now and I feel like it's getting better. Once I hit the two-week mark, can I stop taking it all of a sudden, or do I need to cut down slowly over a few days? I'm also curious if using it for two weeks is too long. What do you recommend?
kk u can take
