Answered on 7th Feb '25

Fatty liver disease can lead to inflammation and scarring of the liver, known as fibrosis. While some damage might be irreversible, improvements in lifestyle, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management, can lead to significant improvements. Milk thistle is often used as a supplement for liver health, but its effectiveness can vary, and it's best to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment. They can offer personalized advice and monitor your condition.

There's a possibility that could be due to urinary tract infection, kidney stones, gastrointestinal issues, or reproductive system disorders. Consult a gynecologist for evaluation.

My stomach is empty and upset and I'm unable to drink water without feeling nauseous. I've taken pepto bismol and I've been eating bread yet nothing's helping. What do I do?

Female | 21

It seems like you might have gastritis. This occurs when the lining of your stomach becomes inflamed and can result in feelings of queasiness as well as an upset stomach. Consuming bread or using Pepto-Bismol may not help alleviate these symptoms. To keep hydrated, try drinking clear fluids such as broth or ginger tea. Additionally, you should avoid eating spicy foods that could further irritate it since they tend to be acidic too while fatty ones take longer to digest besides causing discomfort hence worsening the situation even more should this happen. For proper treatment seek medical attention if they persist beyond what is expected.

I had an external hemorrhoid that caused an anal fissure and just wanted to know what I creams I could use to remove anal fissure scar?

Female | 24

As a medical expert, I would recommend you to make a gastroenterologist consult about your anal fissure scar issue. Over-the-counter creams may not work and could cause other problems. A gastroenterologist can prescribe appropriate treatment measures including topical medications or surgery if required.

Typhoid is an infection caused by the bacteria Salmonella. It contains such common symptoms as a high fever, stomach ache, headache, and becoming extremely weak. Your body can combat the bacteria by drinking a lot of fluids and taking antibiotics. Also, get enough rest, as this will help your body heal.

पेट मे जलन होना बार बार डकेर आणा पेट फुलना

Female | 52

The burning sensation in your stomach, the non-stop burping, and the bloated feeling can all be a consequence of acidity. It is a medical condition where the stomach is producing more acid than usual. Eating too much spicy food, stress, and not eating regular meals can bring this to you. To make you feel better start with a smaller portion of food avoid spicy meal, and stay calm. By drinking milk or using antacids you can also get some relief from the pain.
