My wife has external hemorrhoids and wants to manage them through diet to avoid surgery for now. Can you suggest foods that help control and reduce the problem? Also, what foods should she avoid?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your doctor may recommend that you eat more foods that are high in fiber. Eating foods that are high in fiber can make stools softer and easier to pass and can help treat and prevent hemorrhoids. Drinking water and other liquids, such as fruit juices and clear soups, can help the fiber in your diet work better.

View allI'm really confused about my recent health check-up results. My SGPT is 155 and SGOT is 180, but I'm not a drinker, so I'm puzzled about what might be causing this. All my hepatitis virus tests came back negative. An ultrasound discovered a grade 2 fatty liver, and my fibroscan is showing 9.5. I don't have any symptoms, just found out through a regular check-up. Could you give me some advice or suggest a treatment plan for this?
Based on your test results showing elevated liver enzymes and the presence of grade 2 fatty liver, it is important to address the underlying cause and manage your condition. Since hepatitis virus tests are negative, the elevation in liver enzymes may be due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). I recommend starting treatment with Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dosage of 10-15 mgkgday. This medication can help improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels. In addition, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are crucial in managing NAFLD. It is also important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your liver function tests and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm dealing with recurring mouth ulcers and think it might be due to a Vitamin B complex deficiency, possibly B12. This has been going on for about a year. I notice that taking a multivitamin seems to help, but the problem comes back after a couple of months. I also have issues with acidity and high uric acid levels, though they're somewhat under control now. However, whenever I take a multivitamin, it causes a burning sensation in my abdomen. Could you provide some guidance on what might be going on and how to manage these issues?
That might not due to the tablet that could be due to acidity,consume bland diet take bcomplex supplements for 3 months and take more water to avoid acidity
