I've been diagnosed with Grade 3 internal hemorrhoids by a gastroenterologist who recommended surgery. Before going that route, I'd like to explore non-surgical options like diet and exercise. Is it scientifically possible to manage or treat Grade 3 piles this way? If so, I'd appreciate recommendations for a good dietician in Thane who specializes in this.

View allI'm curious about drinking water and sleeping; does drinking water before taking a nap or going to sleep at night affect digestion? How long should I wait between drinking water and sleeping to avoid any issues?
It is generally fine to sleep after drinking water, both during the day or at night, as long as you don't drink excessive amounts right before lying down. Ideally, it's best to wait 30 minutes to an hour after drinking water before going to bed to avoid discomfort or indigestion. Drinking moderate amounts of water does not typically cause digestive problems, but drinking too much right before sleep can sometimes lead to bloating or frequent urination during the night.

My mom's got an 11mm gallbladder but she doesn't show any symptoms. What options do we have to clear it up? Does she need surgery, or is there a chance it could resolve on its own? I'm really looking for some guidance on the best steps to take.
There is no permanent medical cure for gallstones. Although there are medical measures that can be taken to remove stones or relive symptoms, they are only temporary. If a patient has symptoms from gallstones, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the best treatment. Asymptomatic (producing no symptoms) gallstones do not require treatment.

I've been feeling this heaviness and tightness on the left side of my chest for over a month now. It all started after eating some oily food. In the mornings, when my stomach is empty, I feel fine, but after breakfast, the heaviness kicks in, though it's not always persistent. Sometimes, I feel normal again. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest any treatments or medications? I'm getting a bit concerned.
Chest heaviness and tightness, especially after consuming oily food, may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, or dyspepsia; consider consulting a gastroenterologist
