I've been dealing with hemorrhoids for about a month now, and it's been really painful. On top of that, I've had pinworms for around 10 years. It seriously feels like I'm being stabbed with a knife in my anus. What can I do to ease this pain and get some relief?

-It sounds like you're in a lot of pain from your hemorrhoids. It's important to consult a doctor for proper treatment, as both the hemorrhoids and pinworms can cause discomfort that requires specific care.

I'm a teenager and I've developed piles. Should I be worried about having them at this age? Do you think I need to see a doctor or are there any home remedies that might help me get better?
Having piles (hemorrhoids) as a teenager is uncommon, but not unheard of, and it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like constipation, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease, and in the meantime, try home remedies like increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, and applying warm compresses or witch hazel to the affected area to alleviate symptoms.

I've been curious about my diet ever since I recovered from jaundice about 4 months ago. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to eat fish now. Also, I've been dealing with diabetes and I'm concerned about any foods I should avoid. Could you offer some guidance on what's safe for me to eat?
Congratulations on recovering from jaundice. Given your diabetes and recent jaundice, it's essential to be mindful of your diet. Here are some guidelines: *Fish Consumption* You can eat fish, but choose wisely: 1. *Opt for low-mercury fish*: Fish like salmon, cod, tilapia, and catfish are good options. 2. *Avoid high-mercury fish*: Fish like shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish contain high levels of mercury, which can harm your liver. 3. *Moderation is key*: Limit your fish consumption to 1-2 servings (about 6 ounces or 170g) per week. *Foods to Avoid or Limit* Given your diabetes and liver health, it's best to avoid or limit: 1. *High-sugar foods*: Limit sugary drinks, desserts, and refined carbohydrates. 2. *Saturated and trans fats*: Avoid foods high in saturated and trans fats, such as processed meats, full-fat dairy products, and fried foods. 3. *High-sodium foods*: Limit foods high in sodium, such as processed and canned goods. 4. *Foods high in cholesterol*: Avoid foods high in cholesterol, such as egg yolks, organ meats, and high-fat dairy products. *Foods to Emphasize* Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods: 1. *Leafy greens*: Spinach, kale, and collard greens are rich in antioxidants and fiber. 2. *Berries*: Berries like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are rich in antioxidants and fiber. 3. *Whole grains*: Choose whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-wheat bread. 4. *Legumes*: Legumes like lentils, chickpeas, and black beans are rich in protein, fiber, and antioxidants. 5. *Nuts and seeds*: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber. *Additional Tips* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. 2. *Limit alcohol*: Avoid or limit alcohol consumption to protect your liver. 3. *Monitor your blood sugar*: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to ensure they're within a healthy range.
