My father has been suggested to go for full body PET scan is it covered through ayushman card at any hospital in delhi?

Hello,

If your test report shows stones in the pancreas measuring 26mm, this is likely a case of pancreatic calculi, which are commonly associated with chronic pancreatitis. Stones this size may cause pain, block ducts, or lead to other complications, and surgical or endoscopic removal may be required based on your symptoms and overall condition.

What You Should Do Next

1. Consult a Specialist Immediately
   You need to see a gastroenterologist or a GI surgeon who has experience with pancreatic disorders. They will:

   • Review your imaging reports (like CT, MRI, or ultrasound)

   • Assess your symptoms (pain, digestion, weight loss, etc.)

   • Recommend the best course of treatment — this may be endoscopic stone removal, surgical intervention, or non-surgical management depending on severity.

2. Treatment Options May Include:

   • ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) for stone removal

   • Surgical removal if stones are too large or causing severe complications

   • Lifestyle changes and medications if surgery isn’t immediately needed

Hello! 

Thank you for reaching out, and we have understood your medical concern.

Could It Be Piles?

Pain and a burning sensation without bleeding may be due to several conditions, including:

• Anal fissures (small tears in the anal lining — very common)

• Early-stage piles (Grade 1 or 2) – even without visible bleeding

• Anal irritation from constipation or hard stools

• Spicy food or poor hydration

From your symptoms, anal fissure seems more likely than piles, but a proper clinical examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment Options for Piles

Based on the cause and severity, your doctor may suggest:

1. Lifestyle & Diet Modifications

• Increase fiber intake and drink plenty of water

• Avoid spicy and oily foods

• Take sitz baths (warm water baths for relief)

2. Medications

• Soothing ointments and pain relievers

• Laxatives or stool softeners (if constipation is present)

3. Minimally Invasive Procedures (if needed)

• Laser surgery for fissures or piles (painless, daycare procedure)

• Stapler surgery for advanced piles

Cost of Treatment in Udaipur – What to Expect

The cost can vary depending on several factors:

• Type and severity of the condition
