I've had Crohn's disease since 2018 and my recent MRI and colonoscopy show my rectum has narrowed. I'm currently on mesalamine, azathioprine, and Shelcal livogen do you think I'll need surgery for this or can medication help reduce the risk of a rectum blockage?

If narrowing causes blockage risk or worsening symptoms, surgery may be needed—continue meds and monitor closely.

View allI'm really worried because last night I used my teeth to cut some cello tape and ended up swallowing it. It's stuck in my throat, and I'm feeling really uneasy and anxious about it. Can you tell me what I should do to handle this situation? I really need your help, doctor.

Can a 14mm gallstone be healed without surgery and how long would it take Is there a chance it might come back even after treatment I don't have any symptoms right now but I'm wondering if homeopathy can dissolve the stone completely or if surgery is the better option If homeopathy can make the stone disappear, I'd like to know before visiting the clinic
A 14mm gallstone is unlikely to be resolved without surgery. While homeopathy might help manage symptoms, it's not a proven method for dissolving gallstones, especially of this size. Surgery, like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is the most common and effective treatment for larger gallstones to prevent complications

I'm really concerned about my husband. He often struggles with gas and acidity, and it usually takes him a couple of days to feel better. What's really puzzling is that when he has gas, he feels pain behind his ear. I'm having a hard time figuring out what might be causing this gas problem, and I'm wondering if you could help us understand what's going on.
