Quiz Time: Can you name a common medical issue that’s itchy, swollen, and presents as a real pain in the rear? If you answered hemorrhoids, you nailed it! Hemorrhoids are a painful, but common condition, especially in people between the ages of 45 and 75. While many cases of hemorrhoids can be treated with over the counter medicines and home remedies, others are more serious and require the assistance and care of a doctor. In this video, Dr. Sameer gives you the lowdown on hemorrhoids, explaining the symptoms and causes along with the signs that it’s time to see a doctor.

A lot of people experience pain while pooping.

Can intermittent fasting prevent and treat gut issues?

Do women fart more than men? Can chewing gum increase my, ehhh...air flow? Why does my gas smell so bad? It’s time to clear the air with the truth about gas! Let’s face it - we all have gas (yes, even you). It’s a bodily function that none of us can avoid, no matter how hard we try to hold it in. While some find it funny or take pride in their ‘abilities’, others find it troublesome and a real struggle in their lives. In this video, Dr. Sameer breaks down the truth about gas in a fun and conversational way, giving you straight facts and insight about the explosive and polarizing topic of farting, belching, and bloating.

Diverticulosis is a condition that affects 10% of people over 40 and 50% (!!!) of people over 60. The good news? Some will never feel the effects of these small pockets of diverticula in the intestines. The bad news? These small pockets sometimes get inflamed and infected, causing a debilitating and painful condition called diverticulitis. In this video, Dr. Sameer gives you a deep dive into diverticulitis, explaining causes, risk factors, foods that might be triggers, and potential treatment options for moderate and severe cases.

Bacteria get a bad rap, but you actually need them in your gut to help keep your body healthy. Wait...what?!? ⚠⚠ Did you know that certain bacteria are the key to a healthy gut? These bacteria are called probiotics. There is not a ‘right dose’ of probiotics per patient, but you definitely won’t feel ‘right’ if you aren’t taking them - whether by food or by supplements. In this video, Dr. Sameer Islam brings clarity to probiotic need, use, and the potential effects of taking too many...if there are any effects at all.
