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 noticing that I've been producing a lot more saliva recently, and I'm not sure why this is happening. I also tend to drink a lot of water throughout the day. Could these be related, or should I be concerned about something else going on with my health?
Excessive saliva production, also known as hypersalivation or sialorrhea, can be caused by various factors, including drinking excessive water, which can stimulate saliva production; other possible reasons include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), oral infections, hormonal changes, anxiety, or certain medications; consider consulting a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss ways to manage excessive saliva production.

Why do I keep getting anal fissures even after LIS surgery? I'm vegetarian and careful with my diet but still get fissures from just one episode of hard stool caused by antibiotics. Others pass hard stool without issues, but my small anus seems prone to tearing - is that the real cause?
It's understandable why you're concerned about recurring anal fissures despite LIS surgery, even with a seemingly healthy diet. While your small anus might be a contributing factor, it's important to consider other potential reasons for continued fissures, like the specific trauma caused by hard stools, even in a vegetarian, and underlying sphincter issues
