Question 2

I'm a bit concerned after an ultrasound during my wife's health checkup showed a small gallbladder polyp. The doctor mentioned it's around 15mm and said not to worry too much, but I'm still wondering about the implications. Can you suggest a good doctor in Bangalore to consult for a second opinion or further advice? Additionally, I'm curious about what role homeopathy treatment might play and if there are any reputable homeopathy doctors you recommend.

Accepted Answer

A small gallbladder polyp of 15mm size is generally considered to be low risk for malignancy. However, it is important to monitor it regularly as there is a small risk of it developing into a cancerous growth over time. In Bangalore, you can consult with a Gastroenterologist or a Hepatobiliary Surgeon for further advice on the management and monitoring of the gallbladder polyp. As for homeopathy treatment, there is limited scientific evidence to support its efficacy in treating gallbladder polyps. It is always recommended to follow evidence-based medical treatments for such conditions. If you still wish to explore homeopathy, you can consult with a qualified and experienced homeopath for personalized treatment options.

I've been diagnosed with GERD grade 3 reflux and I'm wondering if surgery is an option for me. I'm really concerned about post-op complications is there a way to avoid them or are there alternatives I should consider?

If your symptoms did not improve with lifestyle changes or drug therapy, you may be a candidate for surgery. Some patients prefer a surgical approach as an alternative to a lifetime of taking medications. The goal of surgery for reflux disease is to strengthen the anti-reflux barrier.
