Question 1

I'm really worried about my wife. It's been about two months since she had our baby, and she's having really bad pain in her upper abdomen and back. We got an ultrasound done, and it showed multiple stones. Last month, she had a severe pain attack, and she's still having mild pain in her upper abdomen and between her ribs. Is removing the gallbladder the only solution, or are there other options we should consider? Would love some guidance on what we can do.

Accepted Answer

Given your wife's severe pain, multiple gallstones, and recurrent attacks, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) may be the most effective treatment option

Question 2

I'm dealing with a lot of saliva production, especially in the mornings when I wake up. Within minutes my mouth gets full of saliva, and I have to keep spitting throughout the day to manage it. It's a bit better after I brush, but it's still an issue. What's going on here, and how can I get this under control?

Accepted Answer

Excessive saliva production, also known as hypersalivation, can have various causes such as medication side effects, GERD, infections, or neurological conditions. In your case, since the issue improves after brushing, it could be related to oral hygiene. I recommend using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% solution twice daily after brushing. Additionally, you can try using tablets containing atropine sulfate 0.5mg to reduce saliva production. If the problem persists, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I've been having this pulsating feeling in my abdomen which causes me to bloat and have cramps. It's stressing me out a lot because I can't sleep with all these thoughts racing through my head. It's been three years, and even with all the tests and medicine, I'm still not better. Why isn't this going away?

Accepted Answer
