Question 1

My mom is 56 years old, 5'2¬ù tall, and weighs 55 kg. She has multiple gallstones ranging from 4mm to 10-11 mm. Can this be treated naturally with homeopathy or ayurvedic medicine, or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend for her condition?

Accepted Answer

For gallstones, especially those larger than 10mm, surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is generally recommended for effective removal. While homeopathic and ayurvedic approaches may offer symptom relief and support overall digestive health, they are not proven to dissolve or remove gallstones.

Question 2

I've been dealing with GERD for the past 2 years and it's really frustrating. Is there any way to cure it permanently without having to go through surgery? I'd love to know what options are out there.

Accepted Answer

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

Question 3

I've been struggling with this issue for months. Whenever I stand for a long time or walk a bit, I get this weird sweaty feeling around my anus, and I notice stains on my underwear that match that pattern. Also, when I poop, there's this white foam in it, and it just won't go away. The doctor had me get a perianal ultrasound, and everything looked fine, probably because they only checked the outside. They also mentioned it wasn't a fistula. I'm at a loss about what to do next. Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms, including the sweat-like sensation, anal staining, and white foam in stool, suggest a possible anal gland or fistula issue, despite the external perianal ultrasound being normal; consider seeking a second opinion from a colorectal surgeon or gastroenterologist for a more thorough evaluation, including a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or MRI, to rule out conditions like anal fistula, abscess, or proctitis, and to develop an effective treatment plan.

Ecg and x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
