I'm wondering why my stool is always loose in the morning. Each day I drink a lot of water right after I wake up, and then have a cup of tea which really makes me want to go to the toilet. I usually drink water before sitting on the toilet to pass stool. Could all this be the reason for my loose stools? What can I do to have a more normal, smooth, and long stool thats easier to pass?

Drinking lots of water, especially on an empty stomach, and consuming tea in the morning may contribute to loose stools; to achieve normal, smooth, and well-formed stools, try the following: drink water in moderation, avoid drinking water immediately before passing stools, eat a balanced breakfast to help firm up stools, incorporate fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), exercise regularly, and consider reducing or avoiding morning tea or switching to herbal tea to minimize caffeine's laxative effect.

I've been dealing with a pretty concerning issue of drooling in my sleep, and a friend mentioned it might be due to worms in my stomach or intestines. So I'm a bit worried and have a few questions about this. Is it really possible that worms could be causing the drooling? Also, it's quite severe for me, so how can I reduce or even completely stop this drooling problem? And if worms are the issue, what's the best way to get rid of them? Are deworming tablets a permanent solution, or should I consider an ayurvedic option?

Drooling while sleeping is usually not caused by worms in the body. It could be due to issues like nasal congestion, sleeping position, or excessive saliva production. To reduce drooling, try sleeping on your side and address any nasal blockages. For worms, de-worming tablets can be effective, but it's important to follow up with your doctor for the best treatment plan. Ayurveda can also be an option, but consult a healthcare professional before starting any alternative treatment.

Is it okay to keep eating soya chunks if I'm dealing with bleeding hemorrhoids? I've been having about 20g of them almost every day as my main protein source, and I'm worried it might be affecting my condition. Should I cut back or avoid them altogether?
