Is it OK to remove stool with finger?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Manual evacuation of stool with finger may be done sometimes but it can cause trauma and anal bleeding if more force is used. It is always better to visit a nearest doctor who can safely help in removing stools.

View allMy friend has been dealing with gallstones and keeps having bad stomach pain. The doctor recommended surgery, but is that really the only option? Are there other treatments that could help instead of going straight to surgery?
While surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is a common treatment for gallstones, it's not always the only option. There are several nonsurgical approaches that may be considered, especially if surgery isn't a good fit or if the patient prefers a less invasive approach

I'm having this weird issue where my burp just gets stuck halfway, and I've been burping a lot lately. On top of that, I've got this burning feeling in my chest, and my nose feels super dry but blocked at the same time. It's really frustrating. I'm also experiencing dizziness and sometimes even a burning sensation in my feet. All of these symptoms started after I had COVID in 2021. I've had allergic rhinitis for over 5 years, but I've never dealt with GERD before. My upper endoscopy and colonoscopy came back normal, as did my ECG and echo. I'm really starting to feel desperate and kind of pathetic. Do you have any ideas on what could be going on with me?

I've been diagnosed with Grade 3 internal hemorrhoids by a gastroenterologist who recommended surgery. Before going that route, I'd like to explore non-surgical options like diet and exercise. Is it scientifically possible to manage or treat Grade 3 piles this way? If so, I'd appreciate recommendations for a good dietician in Thane who specializes in this.
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
