I've been dealing with hemorrhoids, but my last doctor said they were low grade. Lately, they've flared up a bit, and I've been feeling constantly tired and weak, sometimes even a little sick. I do feel better after a good bathroom trip, but there's no blood in my stool. Can hemorrhoids cause these kinds of symptoms, and what should I do about it? At what point do you think I should go back to the doctor for another check-up?

Incomplete bowel movements can lead to uneasiness and a sickly feeling. A consult with a general surgeon will help determine the extent of your hemorrhoids, and thereafter determine what kind of treatment will be suitable for you. You may require corticosteroid ointments with laxatives, or even surgical intervention. Lifestyle modifications which may help you include a high fibre diet, natural laxatives to help bowel movement, regular exercise to promote gastric motility, maintenance of a healthy BMI, and avoiding straining during bowel movements.

I've been dealing with some pretty bad gas and acidity for the past month, and I recently found out I have a gallbladder stone. I'm worried these might be related. What should I do? Are there any ways to ease these symptoms naturally, or should I consider medical treatment right away? Any advice would be appreciated!

gall bladder stone is not the reason for acidity
