I've been experiencing this weird sharp pain in my stomach whenever I take a deep breath in, like yawning. It's really concerning me because my stomach is also feeling super bloated and hard. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if it's something I should be worried about?

Could be a sign of gas or indigestion. I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets to help with the bloating and indigestion. You can take 2 tablets as needed, up to four times a day. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg chewable tablets to help relieve gas.

I'm a 25-year-old male and I'm really worried I might have hemorrhoids. I've been noticing a few symptoms lately and it's been quite unsettling for me. Is it possible to treat this with just medications and avoid surgery?
Hemorrhoids can often be managed and cured with medications and lifestyle changes, avoiding surgery; to alleviate symptoms, try stool softeners (psyllium), fiber supplements, topical creams (hydrocortisone, witch hazel), pain relievers (acetaminophen), and warm sitz baths; make lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, avoiding straining during bowel movements, and managing constipation;
