For your GERD and left-sided umbilical hernia, surgery is a viable option to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life. Surgical options for GERD include Nissen fundoplication, which strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, and for the umbilical hernia, open or laparoscopic repair with mesh or sutures. Lifestyle adjustments like dietary changes and avoiding trigger foods can also help manage both conditions, especially GERD

Question

I'm struggling with chronic constipation, and my doctor advised me to take Pegred solution for three months. I've been using it on and off for over four years now. Lately, for the past month or so, I'm dealing with back pain, feeling weak, tired, sleepy during the day, and having issues with vomiting and indigestion. Can you help me understand what's happening? Do you have any suggestions for other medications for constipation?

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been feeling this weird stickiness around his anus for the past few months and he's also mentioning some light pain around his abdomen that just seems to move around. It's really affecting his mood and he's getting pretty down about it. Are there any home remedies or tips you could suggest for some quick relief?
