Question 1

I've been told I have multiple small gallstones of different sizes. Can Ayurvedic medicine really dissolve them completely so I won't need surgery? I'm worried about the stones causing problems later if they don't go away

Accepted Answer

Oral dissolution therapy.
 
 Ursodiol link (Actigall) and chenodiol link (Chenix) are medicines that contain bile acids that can break up gallstones. These medicines work best to break up small cholesterol stones. You may need months or years of treatment to break up all stones.

Question 2

I've been dealing with GERD for about 7 months, and I've been switched between a few different antacids during that time. My symptoms have gotten much better lately, and my appetite is finally good again. But now I'm having issues with my menstrual cyclegoing from amenorrhea to oligomenorrhea over the past monthand I'm also feeling a bit drowsy. Could this be because of the Levosulpiride I'm taking? I'm not sure if I should keep on with the treatment or consider stopping it. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Levosulpiride can indeed cause hormonal imbalances leading to menstrual irregularities like amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea in some cases. Since you have developed these symptoms after starting Levosulpiride, it is possible that it could be the cause. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to explore alternative medications for your GERD that do not have this side effect.

Question 3

I'm really worried about this breathing problem I've been having for the past three months. Ive done a lung X-ray, which came out normal, and an ultrasound that showed I have PCOD. But now, for the last 10 days, I've also been dealing with acid reflux. I'm taking Pantocid tablets and sometimes Digene syrup, but the breathing issue is still there. I recently had an endoscopy and they found GERD and some ulcers in my food pipe. Could you suggest if there's any specific test I should consider to find out why I'm struggling so much with my breathing? Like maybe a lung test or anything else I should look into?
