I've been using Anovate for the past couple of years to manage my anal fissure, and I'm a bit concerned about any side effects it might have had or could still cause. Could you let me know what potential issues I should be aware of that I might not have noticed yet?

View allMy dad's HbsAg test came back positive, so it looks like he's got Hepatitis B. I'm really worried about what this means for his health. Can you please help us understand what our next steps should be for treatment and how we might cure this?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. While there is no cure for Hepatitis B, treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and preventing complications. Antiviral medications such as Entecavir or Tenofovir are commonly prescribed to help reduce the viral load in the body and slow down the progression of the disease. It's important for your father to follow up with a healthcare provider regularly for monitoring and to discuss the best treatment plan for his specific situation.

I have multiple gallstones, with the largest being 12mm and others around 8-9mm. I'm also diabetic, and my HIDA scan showed 95% gallbladder function. Should I consider surgery for gallstones? I'm worried about potential future issues like chronic diarrhea, fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, liver problems, or increased gas and acidity after gallbladder removal.
Given your multiple gallstones, including one 12mm stone, and your diabetes, surgery (cholecystectomy) is a strong consideration for addressing the gallstones. While a HIDA scan showing 95% gallbladder function indicates relatively good function, larger stones, especially in a diabetic patient, increase the risk of complications and may outweigh the benefits of maintaining the gallbladder
