Question 1

I've been struggling with chronic GERD for two years now and it's really affecting my daily life especially the difficulty swallowing food. I've tried medications like Pan tablets and Sucralfate syrup, but they only give temporary relief before the symptoms come back. Is surgery a good option for me at this point? Will it actually provide a permanent solution? The constant discomfort and trouble swallowing from acid reflux are making it hard to function normally.

Question 2

I've been dealing with worms for a while now, but lately, my anus has become super itchy. I'm also noticing worms in my stool every night. What's going on with me, and do you have any advice on what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

Based on the ultrasound report:

*Key Findings*

1. *Left Renal Cortical Cysts Grade II*: Two small, non-cancerous cysts (2.3 x 1.9 cm) are present in the lower pole of the left kidney.
2. *Fatty Changes in Liver*: Indicates a potential liver condition, possibly related to high blood pressure or other factors.
3. *Prostatomegaly*: Enlargement of the prostate gland, which can be a normal part of aging.

*Recommendations*

1. *Regular Follow-ups*: Schedule regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor the cysts and other conditions.
2. *Blood Pressure Management*: Continue to manage your high blood pressure through lifestyle changes and medication (if prescribed).
3. *Prostate Monitoring*: Discuss prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing and other monitoring options with your doctor.
4. *Liver Health*: Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to support liver health.

Question 3

My ultrasound report says the gall bladder isn't visible but there's a dilated common bile duct measuring 20mm at the porta with a clump of calculi around 39x19mm in the middle part. Should I be worried about this? What does this mean for my condition? 
 
 I had gallbladder surgery before and now seeing these findings could this be related to my past surgery or is it something new developing? What are the next steps I should take?

Dilated CBD and calculi post-cholecystectomy may need ERCP‚Äîconsult gastroenterologist soon.

My dad has obstructive jaundice and gallstones. The doctor mentioned surgery might be needed but we're unsure if homeopathy could help instead. The report is attached what would you recommend for his condition?
