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 wondering how I can tell if I have worms in my stomach. Sometimes it really feels like something's moving in there. What could be causing this sensation?
Feeling something moving inside your stomach could be a sign of a parasitic infection such as intestinal worms. To treat this, you can take Albendazole 400mg as a single dose. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

My mom is 53 and has both diabetes and high blood pressure. She recently found out she has multiple gallstones. What would be better for her trying ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments, or should she just go for surgery?
For a 53-year-old woman with diabetes and high blood pressure who has multiple gallstones, surgery (cholecystectomy) is generally the most effective and recommended treatment. While Ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments might offer some relief or symptomatic management, they are not likely to eliminate the gallstones or prevent future complications

I've got an sgpt level of 56, and it seems like all the other tests in my master check-up came back normal. Should I be worried about this? My doctor mentioned that I don't need any medication for the increased sgpt level, but I'd like to understand if there's anything else I should be considering.
An SGPT level of 56 is slightly elevated, but your doctor's reassurance suggests it's likely not a cause for concern; mildly elevated SGPT can be due to various factors like fatty liver, muscle damage, or alcohol consumption; since your other test results are normal, your doctor may recommend monitoring your SGPT levels periodically and making lifestyle adjustments, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and limiting alcohol intake, to help bring your SGPT levels back to normal.
