Can Ayurveda help treat gallbladder and polyps without surgery? - #18708
recently got an ultrasound coz of stomach pain, turns out I have gallbladder and polyps issue. It started few months ago as just mild discomfort after eating oily foods, but now the pain comes more often, even after normal meals. My doctor said polyps are small now but suggested surgery if they grow. Really don’t wanna go down that route unless no other choice. I tried changing diet like reducing fried foods, and taking herbal teas that are supposed to help digestion. Even tried drinking warm water with lemon every morning. It seemed slightly better at first, but lately, it’s like symptoms getting worse again. I never tried specific Ayurvedic treatments or herbs yet coz I’m not sure where to start. My main worry is, can Ayurveda effectively shrink or completely get rid of gallbladder and polyps? Also, what kind of foods or Ayurvedic medicines would you recommend to manage the pain and maybe prevent the polyps from getting bigger? Any specific home remedies you think can actually help with this? Really hoping for an alternative to surgery, so please advise.

Myoglobin - #19559
Last week, I had a really intense workout, and ever since then, I've been feeling a bit off. I usually hit the gym pretty hard, but this time, I tried some new exercises. I woke up the next day with a sore back and legs, but it wasn’t like the usual muscle soreness. There was this sharp pain in my lower back that didn't seem to go away. I figured it was just overexertion, but as the days went by, I noticed that the pain was getting worse, and I was feeling more fatigued than usual. On the third day after my workout, I started experiencing dark urine, which freaked me out a bit. It was more reddish than I had ever seen before. I immediately looked up some stuff online and came across this term “myoglobin.” From what I understood, it’s a protein released from muscle tissue when muscles are damaged, and it can cause kidney issues if it builds up in the bloodstream. I was wondering if this could be what's happening to me? Could my recent workout have caused a release of myoglobin in my system? I did push myself really hard, especially with exercises I wasn't used to. I’ve also been feeling really tired, even though I’m usually pretty energetic. I didn’t go to a doctor yet because I wasn’t sure if it was necessary, but I did some tests, and my urine color hasn’t improved. I’ve read that in extreme cases, the release of myoglobin can cause kidney damage, and now I’m seriously concerned about my kidneys. Could this be an early sign of something like that? Or is it just an overreaction? I’ve also been trying to drink a lot of water to flush out any toxins, but I’m not sure if there’s something more I should be doing. Can Ayurvedic treatments help with this? Maybe there's something I can do naturally to detox and avoid further complications? I really want to get back to the gym soon, but I’m scared of causing more damage if my muscles are still affected. Is there something I should be doing to treat this before it gets worse? I’ve heard Ayurveda can help with detoxing the body, but I'm not sure what exactly I should be taking or doing. Has anyone had a similar experience? Does my situation seem like something that could be related to myoglobin release, or am I just overthinking it? Also, what Ayurvedic remedies would help if this is indeed a case of muscle damage causing a myoglobin buildup? I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks!
