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 45 years old and dealing with piles issues right now. My doctor mentioned trying Hilo tablets. Can you explain how these tablets work for piles? I'm just trying to understand how they'll help with my condition.
Hilo tablets, containing Daflon (diosmin and hesperidin), work by improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and strengthening blood vessels, which helps alleviate piles symptoms such as pain, itching, and bleeding by reducing swelling and promoting healing of the affected veins.

Been noticing that my stool has whole chunks of watermelon, tomatoes, and carrots in it for the past couple of days. Just got over a cold and was taking Cefixine as prescribed by my doctor. This all started happening after that. It's not like they're partially digested; they're whole pieces. Should I be worried about this? Never had anything like this before. What do you think could be going on?

I've been noticing mucus in my stool for the past few days, and it's been a bit worrying. I had a colonoscopy about ten days ago, and the results came back normal, which was a relief.

Considering your normal colonoscopy results, mucus in stool may be caused by: Common Causes 1. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) 2. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) 3. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) 4. Infection (bacterial, viral, or parasitic) 5. Food intolerance (lactose, gluten, spicy foods) 6. Hormonal changes 7. Medication side effects (antibiotics, NSAIDs) Treatment Options 1. Dietary changes: - Increase fiber intake - Hydrate adequately - Avoid trigger foods 1. Over-the-counter medications: - Anti-diarrheal medications (e.g., loperamide) - Probiotics 1. Prescription medications (if necessary): - Antibiotics (for bacterial infections) - Anti-inflammatory medications 1. Lifestyle modifications: - Stress management - Regular exercise Next Steps 1.
