I've been dealing with a chronic fissure for the past 3 months and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hesitant about going under the knife is there any other treatment option that could help me avoid surgery and still get relief from the pain and discomfort

View allI noticed a 6.1mm calculus in my GB lumen and I'm really worried does this size definitely need surgery or can it be treated with meds? I'd like to avoid an operation if possible
Incisional hernias after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery (lap chole) are not very common, but they can occur. The risk is estimated to be between 0.02% to 3.6%. Symptoms usually show up within three to six months after surgery, but can appear later as well.

I've been dealing with some really bad-smelling burps since around 5 pm on 41317, and it's embarrassing how they clear the area. Plus, my mouth has this nasty taste. My stomach feels like it's full of gas even though I'm farting. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing excessive gas and foul-smelling burps. This could be due to various reasons such as indigestion, gastritis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (500mg) to help with the gas and indigestion. Additionally, you can try simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling strange for the past couple of months, and it's happened twice already. I get this itchy feeling in my throat, and there's a heaviness right in the middle of my chest and the tube that leads from my throat to my stomach. It gets really uncomfortable. Breathing feels really tight, although it's still okay, but then I also get this uneasy feeling in my stomach. After about a week, it settles down, but then I start having pain in my lower abdomen. I used pantocid before, which helped, but now I'm confused. Is this a gastric issue, something heart-related, or maybe a breathing problem? Can you offer any advice?
