Question 1

My 69-year-old mother has been diagnosed with multiple gallstones, the largest being 6mm. The doctor suggested surgery but she's hesitant. Are there any effective Ayurveda or homeopathy treatments to dissolve or remove gallstones without surgery?

Accepted Answer

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy,uretroscopy and extrscorporeal shock wave lithotripsy are advised.

Question 2

My friend has been dealing with gallstones and keeps having bad stomach pain. The doctor recommended surgery, but is that really the only option? Are there other treatments that could help instead of going straight to surgery?

Accepted Answer

While surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is a common treatment for gallstones, it's not always the only option. There are several nonsurgical approaches that may be considered, especially if surgery isn't a good fit or if the patient prefers a less invasive approach

Question 3

I'm having a tough time with this. I saw a general physician who prescribed me flatuna tablets and a gasinoxuni enzyme, but there's been no improvement. Every time I eat, even just a little, I get really breathless for a while afterward. Do you have any other suggestions or medications that might help?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may need further evaluation to rule out other underlying causes of breathlessness, such as digestive issues or respiratory conditions. If the current medication hasn't worked, I suggest revisiting your doctor for a more comprehensive examination or testing. They may consider other treatments, including antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or even a respiratory check.

I've been dealing with bleeding piles and I'm currently breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe for me to use lactulose solution? Could it have any effects on my baby?

Lactulose solution is generally considered safe during breastfeeding, as it is not absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore unlikely to pass into breastmilk
