Question 2

My mom's got an 11mm gallbladder but she doesn't show any symptoms. What options do we have to clear it up? Does she need surgery, or is there a chance it could resolve on its own? I'm really looking for some guidance on the best steps to take.

Accepted Answer

There is no permanent medical cure for gallstones. Although there are medical measures that can be taken to remove stones or relive symptoms, they are only temporary. If a patient has symptoms from gallstones, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the best treatment. Asymptomatic (producing no symptoms) gallstones do not require treatment.

Cycloset syrup is primarily used to manage conditions like insulin resistance, PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), and type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity.

You may be experiencing a condition known as an anal abscess or a hemorrhoid.

Accepted Answer

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It could be due to pressure or irritation, but seeing blood is a concern. If it's just a small amount and resolves quickly, it might not be serious, but I strongly recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.
