My wife has an 8mm stone in her pancreatic duct. I'm really concerned and not sure what to do next. Are there any medications or maybe even Ayurvedic treatments that could help remove or dissolve these calcium deposits?

View allI've been diagnosed with grade 1 fatty liver and have multiple gallstones ranging from 3 to 8mm. What treatment options do I have and is surgery necessary for this condition? I'm a bit worried about whether lifestyle changes alone would be enough or if I need medical intervention.
For grade 1 fatty liver and gallstones, a combination of lifestyle changes and, potentially, medical intervention might be necessary. Lifestyle changes, including weight loss, a healthy diet, and exercise, can help improve fatty liver. For gallstones, if they cause symptoms, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is often recommended.

I had a fissurectomy about a year ago, and lately, I've noticed that my stools are really thin. I was looking this up online and came across some scary stuff about rectal cancer. Could this be related or something I should be worried about?
It's understandable to be concerned, but thin stools alone are not necessarily a sign of rectal cancer. After a fissurectomy, changes in stool consistency can happen due to factors like diet or healing. However, if you notice other symptoms like blood in your stool, persistent pain, or unexplained weight loss, it's important to consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation.

My gallbladder surgery is scheduled for June 26th but I've had intense pain since 2 am that won't go away. I can't even keep water down and I'm worried about getting dehydrated. What can I do to manage this until my surgery?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
