Question 1

My mom has multiple gallstones with the biggest one at 15mm but she's scared of surgery and doesn't want her gallbladder removed She also has high sugar levels at 272 before food and a 43cm cyst The doctor gave her four medicines Ulyses 300 Qtil 500 chymoral forte and cap happi d Should we go ahead with surgery or try homeopathy or ayurveda instead

Accepted Answer

Given the large gallstone (15mm), symptoms, and high blood sugar, a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is generally recommended for your mother. While homeopathy and Ayurveda can offer complementary therapies, they are not a replacement for conventional medical treatment.

Question 2

I've been dealing with a fissure issue and my homeopathy doctor prescribed oral meds along with liquid drops for sitz baths. Just wanted to check if this treatment approach sounds right or if surgery might be needed down the line. The discomfort's been bothering me and I'm not sure how effective these remedies are long-term

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy and sitz baths may help mild cases, but chronic fissures usually need surgery like LIS or laser. Track symptoms and pain.

Question 3

I've been experiencing these sharp, needle-like pains in my chest that come and go within a few seconds. At first, they were on the right side, but now they're also happening on the left and sometimes even under my left arm. This all started after I began having that burping, indigestion feeling last week. I've noticed that physical exercise gives me a bit of relief, but it still feels like maybe there's a burp stuck in my chest or something. Should I be concerned about this?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids such as Tums or Maalox. Additionally, you can also try medications like Omeprazole (Prilosec) or Ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. It is important to avoid trigger foods such as spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and alcohol. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm supposed to get an operation as my doctor recommended, but I'm really not comfortable with endoscopy surgery. On top of that, I'm working and it's tough to get time off. Is there any alternative option that might work for me?
