My mom has gallstones that are 34mm in size can they be treated with medications or will she need surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For gallstones of 34mm, surgery is generally recommended, rather than medication. While medications can sometimes be used to dissolve cholesterol stones, this is not a reliable approach for large stones or stones causing symptoms.

I've been dealing with anal stenosis for over a month now and have constant pain. Been using a dilator for 10 days to help relax the muscles. Can this heal without surgery? What medicines or ointments could help ease the pain?

Is it okay to exercise if I have a painful anal fissure? I found that working out helps relieve the pain a bit, but I'm worried about making the tear worse or experiencing more pain. Should I keep working out, or is it safer to stop until it heals?
pregnancy test with two lines, one faint, is generally considered a *positive result*. Here's why: 1. *Two lines indicate pregnancy*: Even if one line is faint, the presence of two lines suggests that the test has detected human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine. 2. *Faint line may indicate low hCG*: A faint second line can be a sign of low hCG levels, which is common in early pregnancy. 3. *Test sensitivity*: Different pregnancy tests have varying levels of sensitivity. A faint line may be more noticeable on a more sensitive test. To confirm your result: 1. *Retake the test*: Try another pregnancy test, preferably with a more sensitive brand, to confirm the result. 2. *Wait a few days*: If you're testing too early, wait a few days and try again. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: If you're still unsure or have concerns, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
