Is it okay to exercise if I have a painful anal fissure? I found that working out helps relieve the pain a bit, but I'm worried about making the tear worse or experiencing more pain. Should I keep working out, or is it safer to stop until it heals?

pregnancy test with two lines, one faint, is generally considered a positive result.

Here's why:

  1. Two lines indicate pregnancy: Even if one line is faint, the presence of two lines suggests that the test has detected human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine.
  2. Faint line may indicate low hCG: A faint second line can be a sign of low hCG levels, which is common in early pregnancy.
  3. Test sensitivity: Different pregnancy tests have varying levels of sensitivity. A faint line may be more noticeable on a more sensitive test.

To confirm your result:

  1. Retake the test: Try another pregnancy test, preferably with a more sensitive brand, to confirm the result.
  2. Wait a few days: If you're testing too early, wait a few days and try again.
  3. Consult a healthcare professional: If you're still unsure or have concerns, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

I'm experiencing a tightness in my chest that's been going on for about two weeks now, and I also have loose stools and have noticed some weight loss. I went for an ECG, and it came back normal. I initially thought it might be gastric issues, but even after taking gastric medications, there's been no relief. Could there be something else going on? I'm a bit concerned about these symptoms. What should I do next?

I'm wondering about the normal range for pus cells and epithelial cells in a stool test. Also, if the stool test shows its reactive to acidic, is that something I should be worried about?

In a stool test, the normal range of pus cells is typically less than 5 cells per high power field (HPF), and the normal range of epithelial cells is usually less than 10-20 cells per HPF. If the stool is reactive to acid, it may indicate a potential concern such as malabsorption or infection.

I've been struggling with chronic GERD for two years now and it's really affecting my daily life especially the difficulty swallowing food. I've tried medications like Pan tablets and Sucralfate syrup, but they only give temporary relief before the symptoms come back. Is surgery a good option for me at this point? Will it actually provide a permanent solution? The constant discomfort and trouble swallowing from acid reflux are making it hard to function normally.
