I've been having this burning sensation around my rectum for a few days now, and I'm a bit worried. My meals have been pretty spicy lately, so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it. I've been drinking plenty of water, so I'm not sure what else could be causing it. Do you have any advice on how I can make this go away?

I have a 19mm gallbladder stone and my diabetes is really high at 308. Doctors are suggesting gallbladder removal but I'm worried about the risks at my age. Is there a way to dissolve these stones naturally without surgery? I'd really like to avoid going under the knife if possible.

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm Rajesh and I've been having this abdominal pain on the left side of my belly button for about 4 years now. I did a colonoscopy and endoscopy and they told me it's IBS. But just last week, I had an ultrasound and they found a 3mm gallbladder polyp. I'm really worried about it and it's making it hard for me to focus on work. Is this something dangerous? What should I do?

A 3mm gallbladder polyp is generally not dangerous, but regular monitoring is important. No immediate treatment is typically required, but keep an eye on any changes in symptoms. Managing IBS and discussing your stress with your doctor can help improve your overall well-being.
