My mom was diagnosed with a choledochal cyst in her CBD and is also showing signs of pancreatitis. She's had weight loss over the past year and has low blood pressure but no diabetes. Can you recommend a good senior doctor in Bangalore for this condition? Also, what are the risks of surgery at her age and how safe is the procedure?

View allI'm really concerned because for the past few years, out of nowhere, I start choking on nothing and end up in a coughing fit that usually makes me gag until I'm sick. This happens every few days. Any idea what could be causing this? It's really starting to worry me.

I'm a bit confused about my recent ultrasound results. Initially, they found an isoechoic lesion attached to the gallbladder, saying something about the anterior wall being 4.3mm by 2.2mm. Now, after another ultrasound, it's showing gallbladder polyps at 7.5mm. I'm not sure what this really means for my health or what kind of treatment I should be considering. Could you help clarify and advise on what steps I should take next?
An isoechoic lesion attached to the gallbladder wall could be a gallbladder polyp, which is a tissue growth that extends from the gallbladder's mucous lining.If a gallbladder polyp increases in size by 2 mm or more, or reaches 10 mm in diameter, surgical removal of the gallbladder, called cholecystectomy, may be recommended. As in this case size increases so surgery should be recommended

I'm experiencing this strange sensation like something is crawling in my anus, but I can't see any worms or anything visible. This usually happens after I use the toilet and if I've been using the water pipe a lot. Could it possibly be some kind of infection from the water? There's no itching, just an uncomfortable and weird feeling like something's crawling inside. What could this be?
Possible helminthic infection. I recommend taking a single dose of Albendazole 400mg tablet to treat the possible infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
