Question 1

I'm scheduled for surgery next week for 4th-grade piles, and I'm a bit nervous. My main concern is post-surgerywill I be able to sit comfortably during the five-hour drive home from the hospital?

Accepted Answer

After piles surgery, it's generally recommended to avoid prolonged sitting (more than 30-45 minutes) for 2-3 weeks to reduce swelling and promote healing; since you have a 5-hour journey home, consider the following: break the journey into smaller segments with regular breaks (every 1-2 hours) to stretch, walk, and rest; use a doughnut-shaped cushion or a pillow to reduce pressure on the surgical site; and follow your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions regarding travel and activity.

-I'm sorry to hear about your dad's condition. The treatment seems to include standard care for dengue and typhoid, with fluids and antibiotics like ciprofloxacin. However, platelet count should be monitored closely, and other treatments may be necessary

Question 5

I'm really worried because my height hasn't increased at all since I was in 7th grade, and now I'm already 17 years old. Is there anything I can do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

In summary, if your growth plates are still open, there may still be some opportunity for growth. However, if they are closed, height growth is likely to stop. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting good nutrition, staying active, and keeping your posture good. If you're still concerned, consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your growth potential.
