I've been dealing with external piles for 34 years and never told anyone because I'm embarrassed. They swell up, hurt badly, and sometimes bleed. I get constipated easily, can't digest food properly, and there's itching and sharp pain around my anus. The hemorrhoids are about the size of a chana pulse I don't know what stage I'm at but I can't take it anymore. Can this be treated without surgery? I'm really scared of going under the knife.

View allI've been dealing with IBS for the past 5 years, and honestly, it's been really tough. The symptoms like bowel discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, and constantly feeling like I need to go to the bathroom but can't, are just exhausting. I've done the endoscopy and colonoscopy, and my doctor confirmed it's IBS. They gave me some meds to try for 15 days, but unfortunately, I didn't feel any better. Is there any way to permanently treat this condition?
While there's no definitive "cure" for IBS, various treatments can help manage symptoms; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance, and explore options like gut-directed hypnotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, peppermint oil capsules, probiotics, fiber supplements, and low-FODMAP diets, which have shown promise in alleviating IBS symptoms, and in some cases, medications like antispasmodics, antidepressants, or laxatives may be prescribed to help manage specific symptoms.

I'm really stressed about my liver enzyme levels; my SGPT is at 274 and SGOT is 290. I did see an ayurvedic doctor and have been on some herbal medication. I've also been cycling 8 km daily and cut out oily and fatty foods for the past couple of weeks, but instead of getting better, my enzyme levels went up! A month ago, my SGPT was 290 and SGOT was 169. I'm worried because Ive got a job abroad and these high levels are causing issues with my medical tests. Could you suggest any treatment or medication I should consider to bring these levels down quickly? I really need guidance on what I should do next.
