My stool is hard and I've had constipation for 6 months. An ayurvedic doctor said it's 2nd degree and doesn't need surgery, but I'm looking for a permanent fix. I'm currently on ayurvedic meds but heard about kshar sutra therapy does it work permanently and what's the cost? Any advice would help

View allMy dad has an 11 mm gallbladder stone and we're really worried about his health. Is it dangerous for him? Should he consider surgery or are there other treatment options? We're not sure what to do next.
Gallbladder stones can be dangerous if symptomatic; surgical removal is usually advised, especially if there's a risk of complications.

I'm having this issue where after I eat anything, my throat gets filled with phlegm and I struggle to breathe properly because my air flow feels blocked. Plus, I can't seem to burp at all after eating, which is really uncomfortable. It's getting particularly bad at night, making it really hard to sleep. I've also noticed that when I eat non-veg items, there's a lot of saliva that builds up all at once. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Consider consulting an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like acid reflux, sinusitis, or food allergies, and in the meantime, try antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or histamine-2 blockers, and avoid trigger foods, especially non-veg items, to alleviate severe phlegm and breathing difficulties.

I'm having some really bad backaches at night, and it feels like there's gas building up in my back. When I press certain spots on my back, the gas only seems to release through my mouth, which is really odd. It normally doesn't release otherwise and it's messing with my sleep. This all started happening after I had a C-section. What could be going on? Is there something I can do to fix it?
