Question 1

My father has stage 2 internal hemorrhoids and keeps having heavy bleeding episodes. He takes Daflon when it happens, which stops the bleeding for about two months, but then it starts again. Is this cycle going to keep repeating, or is there a permanent fix? Would surgery help, or are there better medicines to stop the bleeding for good?

Accepted Answer

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

Question 2

I'm really concerned because I've always noticed a bad smell in my mouth and nose. I've already seen a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and even enteric specialists, but they all say there's no problem. I'm not sure what to do next, and honestly, it's been really upsetting. Any advice on what steps I should take now?

Accepted Answer

Maintain oral hygiene and consume warm water during bed time, that will help in your problem of bad breath.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried about my bilirubin levels since I noticed some mild variations in my latest report. Could you take a look at my results attached here? My total bilirubin is 1.53, with a direct bilirubin of 0.3 and an indirect level of 1.23. Also, my AST (SGOT) is 53 and AST (SGPT) is 77. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it within normal ranges?

Accepted Answer

Pimples or small bumps on the urethra can be caused by:

Meatitis (inflammation of the urethral opening)
Urethral irritation or allergic reactions
Folliculitis (infected hair follicles)
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like herpes or HPV
Poor hygiene or tight clothing

Consult a urologist or a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I've been having this pain just above my belly button for about 23 days now. I recently noticed this thick, light yellow puss lightly oozing from my belly button. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you advise me on what type of doctor I should see for this issue?
