I've had issues with acidity ever since I was 14, and now I'm 22. It gets really bad during my periods and a week before they start. The acidity is so severe I can't even stomach plain rice, and it causes my stomach to bloat. Plus, I get these headaches that make it hard to focus on anything. Could you please advise on what to do about this?

A movable, wobbly lump on the lower left side of your rib cage could be a lipoma (benign fatty tumor), a sebaceous cyst, or a hernia. Less commonly, it could be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a splenic tumor or cyst. Consult a primary care physician or a general surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm experiencing some discomfort with itching and occasionally a burning sensation after I pass stool, which lasts for a few hours before it settles down. But the itching tends to come and go. I've been using Betadine cream on my anus, and it seems to provide some relief. Is it safe for me to keep doing this, or should I be considering something else? Could you provide some guidance on this?

yes but do stool culture examination

I'm a bit worried because my recent ultrasound showed a grade 1 fatty liver. I try to stay active with regular exercise and make sure to drink plenty of water. But I also enjoy having beers on weekends. Should I be concerned about the impact this has on my liver?

In these days its common for almost everyone,no need to worry maintain healthy life style and take VIT E supplements to prevent liver damage

I had a big beer earlier and then took Liv 52 by mistake, and now I'm planning to go to sleep. I'm wondering if that's okay or if there's any issue with having done that. I didn't really think about the beer when I took the Liv 52. Do you think there's any problem with that, or is it fine?

It's generally not recommended to drink alcohol while taking Liv 52, as it may reduce the effectiveness of the medicine or increase side effects
