Recently Answered Questions on Left side discomfort under ribs
Regular stomach troubles
Hello,
I have been suffering from digestive issues for a lot of years.
There is a general discomfort in the right side of my abdomen. This involves radiating pain that in bad cases shoots up till my thigh and also testicle.
However, I notice that followed by this discomfort, I more often than not, need to pass gas. The entire pain disappears or reduces drastically.
Recently I had a terrible stomach ulcer (I presume). I ingested a raw green chili which immediately felt like my food pipe and inner stomach had burnt. Ever since then, the above mentioned issue has aggravated many fold. I cannot sit because the pain shoots though my leg and testicle.. passing gas relieves the pain.. standing and walking reduces it. There is a pain radiating from my right lower back to front abdomen sometimes.
Could you kindly guide me here.
diet involves chapattis, parboiled rice 80% of the time, else white rice, lentils. stir fried vegetables. Chicken, fish. drink water moderately. irregular fruits.

Frequent and incomplete u
I am an 18 year old female who is suffering from some discomfort in my urinary tract. In the middle of February I started having sensations of incomplete and frequent peeing going to the toilet more often than normal. I consumed a herbal Ayurvedic syrup for a few days and my discomfort stopped. The same problem started again in the month of March and April. I find that whenever I release vaginal fluids such as during menstruation or ovulation these urinary symptoms come again. In May I started to take antibiotic for the first time but it did not work and then I switched to taking cranberry and D mannose capsules. It worked to some extent as I could sleep reasonably well at night without having to urgently pee all the time. But when my periods started the symptoms are worse with more frequent and incomplete voiding. I have NO pain nor have I experienced bleeding. My urine is a healthy pale yellow color as I drink lot of water but the peeing is frequent and incomplete.

Disc Bulge at L5-S1 level, need tips.
Hi all,
I was actively gyming, IT professional, never focused on the importance of correct posture, usually slouching all the time.
I got my lower back pain since the past 2-3 years and treated it as a normal one, my back muscles and body is also stiff. I got issues with my left leg, unable to walk more than 10-15 min straight having discomfort with standing for long and this impacted my lifestyle unable to travel in metro for even 20 mins.
I went to the doctor and got MRI, uploading the report, please suggest ahead.
I'm already taking nerve relaxant in the form of Pregabanyl, painkiller is in SOS now as it's been 1.5 months all ready and no anti-inflammatory meds as of now.
Taking physio sessions on alternate days and doing yoga to strengthen glutes and core muscles. Pain is still there discomfort is still there, it comes anytime. I feel I've recovered just 10 percent which is very slow, please suggest a right approach to follow.

Light Sensitivity & Eye Strain Issue
Hello Doctor,
I am experiencing significant light sensitivity, especially at night and in bright daylight. At night, exposure to headlights, streetlights, or strong artificial lights causes discomfort in my eyes along with headache on both sides of my head. I feel better indoors under normal lighting.
During the day, I can tolerate mild morning sunlight, but harsh afternoon sunlight causes discomfort, and I need to close curtains.
I have high screen time (10–12 hours daily) due to work. I am using lubricating eye drops (Eyemist Forte) twice a day, but symptoms persist. I also get negative afterimages which lasts for a minute or more sometimes after exposure to bright light. My previous eye check-up was normal except for amblyopia in my left eye.
I would like to know the possible cause (dry eyes, eye strain, or photophobia) and suggested treatment.
Thank you!

Treatment for Painful Penile Curvature
Dear Doctors, I am seeking consultation for painful penile curvature and would like to understand if this can be examined and treated via a video consultation. Given the physical nature of the condition, the symptoms are : Severe curvature from the mid-shaft, causing significant discomfort and difficulties for intercourse. Redness, tenderness, and intermittent pain/inflammation. Difficulty during intercourse due to the bend and pain. Swollen veins during erection causing pain and discomfort.
Since a physical examination is typically needed, I’d like to know if this condition can be evaluated effectively over a video call (e.g., visual examination of curvature/swelling)?
Are there homeopathy treatments to reduce pain, inflammation, or curvature progression?
Doctors kindly reply with your approach. I’m open to scheduling an online video consultation only if this can be examined and treated.

Feeling dizzy shortness of breath
Hi Feeling dizzy entire day and couldn't even stand up for 5 min at a stretch. Feels like shortness of breath if I had to wake up resting position to move inside home. Stopped driving or going out because of that. Food intake has reduced a lot since a week and stomach hurts with a twisted pain right hand side if I forcibly swallow food. Not taking any spicy food to avoid excess discomfort. I also have gone through Angioplasty twice and under medication for the same. Trachea hurts while swallowing on right hand side or talking. Got treated for abdominal infection with excessive vomitings and loose stools couple of months back. Feels like having stomach issues. Night sleep also has reduced due to discomfort and burbs which at times hurt while having. Please suggest.
Sorry for long summary, but I am confused as to whom to consult and what to do.
Thanks.
