I'm on medication for stomach tuberculosis and it's been nine months so far. I've heard that for stomach TB, you need to take the meds for at least a year to avoid the risk of MDR. Is that actually true?

View allI'm experiencing some issues and would appreciate your guidance. Since yesterday, I've been having loose motions and sour burps. Yesterday was toughI had a lot of stomach pain and just slept through most of the day, but the symptoms didn't seem to persist into the evening. However, today, as soon as I woke up, the loose motions started again with those same sour burps. Is this something serious or should I be worried enough to make a doctor's appointment? What could be causing these symptoms?
Given your situation, it's essential to consider the risks and benefits of immediate versus delayed surgery. *Risks of Delayed Surgery* 1. *Increased risk of complications*: A 17 mm stone is considered large, and delaying surgery may lead to complications, such as: - Gallstone pancreatitis - Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) - Jaundice 2. *Potential for stone growth*: The stone may continue to grow, making it more challenging to remove and increasing the risk of complications. 3. *Risk of gallbladder cancer*: Although rare, a large stone like yours may increase the risk of gallbladder cancer. *Benefits of Immediate Surgery* 1. *Reduced risk of complications*: Removing the stone and gallbladder now can prevent potential complications. 2. *Less risk of stone growth*: Removing the stone now will prevent it from growing larger and causing more problems. 3. *Improved quality of life*: Surgery can alleviate anxiety and concerns about potential complications. *Recommendation* Considering your age and the size of the stone, it's recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. The risks of delayed surgery outweigh the benefits of waiting.
