I've been having pain on my right side for about two weeks now, especially when I lay on my left side. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to worry. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The persistent pain on your right side, exacerbated by lying on your left side, could be related to various factors, including muscle strain, gallbladder issues, kidney stones, or even a herniated disk; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, including physical examination and potentially imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

View allI'm dealing with a fissure and it's really uncomfortable. I'm hoping for some advice on how to heal it permanently. Could you suggest any treatments or steps I should take to get rid of this issue for good?
Fissures can be quite painful and bothersome. To help heal a fissure permanently, you can try using a topical ointment called Rectiv. Apply a pea-sized amount of Rectiv 0.4% ointment to the affected area twice daily for up to 4 weeks. Additionally, you can take stool softeners like Colace to prevent constipation and reduce straining during bowel movements. It is also important to increase your fiber intake and stay hydrated to promote regular bowel movements and prevent further irritation.

I've been struggling with this really intense hunger pain that just won't go away, and it's so bad it makes me feel like throwing up. I have this acid reflux thing too, and my bowel movements have been all over the place for months. I've been eating healthily, cutting out all the processed stuff, no soft drinks, nothing unhealthy, and I even started working out. But it still feels like my stomach can't digest food properly. The hunger pains hit me so hard even after eating. It's been like this for years, but the acid thing is kinda new. I'm 24, female, and a bit overweight. Any ideas about what's going on or what I should do?
Consider consulting a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and in the meantime, try keeping a food diary to track symptoms, eat smaller, more frequent meals, choose low-acid foods, avoid trigger foods, and consider probiotics or digestive enzymes to support gut health,

I've been diagnosed with grade 1 fatty liver and have multiple gallstones ranging from 3 to 8mm. What treatment options do I have and is surgery necessary for this condition? I'm a bit worried about whether lifestyle changes alone would be enough or if I need medical intervention.
For grade 1 fatty liver and gallstones, a combination of lifestyle changes and, potentially, medical intervention might be necessary. Lifestyle changes, including weight loss, a healthy diet, and exercise, can help improve fatty liver. For gallstones, if they cause symptoms, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is often recommended.
