My mom's gallbladder shows an 11mm size but she has no symptoms at all should we consider surgery or can it resolve on its own? What are the best ways to clear the gallbladder naturally?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If your mom has an 11 mm gallstone but no symptoms (asymptomatic), surgery is usually not needed right away. Many people live without issues, but regular monitoring is advised. Gallstones typically don't dissolve on their own, and "natural" remedies are not proven to clear them. Surgery is considered only if symptoms develop.

View allI'm a female and have been struggling with this issue for about three years now. Every time I masturbate at night, I wake up the next morning with really intense stomach pain that lasts for around four days. During those days, the pain is so bad that I can't even eat because it makes the pain worse. I've noticed this only happens after I masturbate; otherwise, I'm totally normal. I've gone to several gynecologists, but none have been able to help. I'm really desperate to find a solution to this. What could be causing these severe stomach pains after masturbation, and how can I get relief?
Masturbation can sometimes trigger or worsen these cramps in some individuals. To help alleviate the stomach pain after masturbation, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers. Additionally, applying a heating pad to your lower abdomen may also provide some relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest during this time. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for a while now and nothing seems to help stool softeners, isabgol, ointments, even sitz baths haven't made a difference. I really don't want surgery because I can't take time off work with my desk job. Are there any other ways to heal the fissure and get my sphincter back to normal without going under the knife?
Chronic anal fissure may improve with GTN or diltiazem ointments, Botox injections, and dietary changes—surgery is last resort.

I've been having some trouble with my anal area lately. It feels like it gets really tight and ends up hurting during bowel movements. It almost feels like the walls are tearing. What could be causing this, and how can I make it better?
The symptoms you're describing, including a narrowing of the anal opening, pain during bowel movements, and anal tears, suggest a possible diagnosis of anal stenosis or anal fissures; consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a thorough examination, which may include a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or colonoscopy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may involve topical creams, stool softeners, or surgical interventions.
