I've developed this habit of eating raw rice every day, even in the middle of the night sometimes. It's like I can't control it. Recently, I've been getting stomach aches and I'm noticing a lot of hair loss. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything I can do to stop these symptoms or this craving?

View allI'm feeling uneasy because after having an endoscopy, I started having pain in my windpipe when I swallow food. On top of that, I sometimes experience mild to moderate stomach pain, usually when my stomach's empty like in the mornings. I never had any issues like this before the endoscopy, and now I'm really worried that there might have been a perforation in my stomach when they took a tissue sample, especially since I felt pain in my stomach during the procedure. Could this be serious? What should I do?
No i can't be a perforation. Take some anti gastric medication for one week and monitor for symptoms

I'm having some discomfort when I have a bowel movement. The first part of my stool is really hard and sometimes it feels like a small piece of tissue, about 0.3 to 0.5 cm, is coming out from my anus when I clean up. The area around my anus gets itchy now and then too. I'm really not sure if Im dealing with piles or if it's something else. Can you help me figure this out and maybe let me know what foods I should avoid?
Based on your symptoms, its likely that you are experiencing hemorrhoids , which can cause discomfort and the sensation of tissue coming out of the anus. The best course of action is to increase your fiber intake, stay hydrated, and avoid straining during bowel movements. Over-the-counter remedies and sitz baths can help relieve symptoms. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a proctologist or gastroenterologist for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm feeling quite tired all the time and I don't smoke or drink. My ultrasound report shows that my liver is enlarged to 16.5 cm. Do you think I should be taking any medication for this? I'm really curious about what might be going on and how I can manage it better.
Enlargement of the liver can be caused by various conditions, and feeling tired could be a symptom of liver dysfunction. I recommend taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce fatigue. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support liver health. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
