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.

View allI'm really worried because my sister has been craving and eating slate pencils for about 6 months now. I'm concerned about whether this could harm her health. Is there a way we can help her reduce these cravings? How can we check if there's already been any damage? Would love to get some guidance on this.

I'm dealing with a severe piles issue with bleeding, swelling, pain, and a burning sensation. Bowel movements are really difficult, and I have to strain a lot. I read that thuthi keerai might help treat piles, but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old baby is it safe to take right now? I don't want surgery, just some temporary relief since I can't pass stool normally. What can I do to manage this?
To manage severe piles while breastfeeding, prioritize gentle relief strategies. Focus on fiber-rich foods and stool softeners to ease bowel movements, and consider topical treatments like witch hazel or aloe vera for pain and swelling. Sitz baths and ice packs can also provide temporary relief. Avoid straining and long toilet sessions, and consult your doctor or a lactation consultant regarding the safety of any specific medications or herbal remedies while breastfeeding

I've been taking Cirrosam 400 mg and Ursocol 300 mg once a day for the past three days, and my SGPT and SGOT levels are close to 150. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink alcohol while on these meds or if that could be harmful?
-It's not safe to consume alcohol while taking Cirrosam and Ursocol, as both medications are used to support liver function, and alcohol can further strain the liver. It's best to avoid alcohol during this treatment to prevent potential liver damage. Alwa
