Question 1

I'm dealing with a severe piles issue with bleeding, swelling, pain, and a burning sensation. Bowel movements are really difficult, and I have to strain a lot. I read that thuthi keerai might help treat piles, but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old baby is it safe to take right now? I don't want surgery, just some temporary relief since I can't pass stool normally. What can I do to manage this?

Accepted Answer

To manage severe piles while breastfeeding, prioritize gentle relief strategies. Focus on fiber-rich foods and stool softeners to ease bowel movements, and consider topical treatments like witch hazel or aloe vera for pain and swelling. Sitz baths and ice packs can also provide temporary relief. Avoid straining and long toilet sessions, and consult your doctor or a lactation consultant regarding the safety of any specific medications or herbal remedies while breastfeeding

Question 2

I've been diagnosed with cholesterosis of the gallbladder and deal with daily acid reflux even after eating normal foods. I also have fatty liver should I be worried about needing gallbladder surgery? What are my options for managing this?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

I've had gallstones for 10 months now and tried homeopathic treatment from four different doctors some gave constitutional remedies, others specific gallstone medicines. While it helped with gas and pain, my stones actually increased from 4-5 to over 10. The biggest is 13mm and the rest are around 8-10mm. Is there still hope with homeopathy, or should I consider surgery as my last option? Can Ayurvedic medicine dissolve stones larger than 10mm?

Accepted Answer

A 13 mm stone in the gallbladder is considered a medium-sized stone, posing a moderate risk of complications. While it may not always necessitate immediate surgery, it warrants careful monitoring and may require surgical intervention if symptoms develop.

I've noticed something strange with my stomach. When I'm sitting down, I can press on it and it feels completely normal, but as soon as I stand up, it feels a lot harder and I can't really press it in the same way. Is this something I should be worried about or is it normal?
