Answered by: Dr Chew Weng Yew, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Member of ProHighway Panel of Medical Specialists, Practising at Pantai Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am from Kuala Lumpur. I have been experiencing very irregular bowel movements (constipation) four about 5 years. When I go to the toilet, most of the time I feel as though my bowel movement is incomplete. Due to this problem, my abdomen is also bloated. Recently, I read some articles regarding colon hydrotherapy. I feel that this method of treatment could help with my problem. Could you please recommend a place where I can go in Kuala Lumpur for this treatment. I would recommend that you consult your family physician for a check up to make certain that there is no underlying physical cause for your problem. If nothing is found then it is up to you if you want to consult a colon hydrotherapist. Answered by: Christina Chew, Qualified Nurse, Midwife, Content Writer for ProHighway Healthcare.

Content Provider and Co-Brand partner for ProHighway Healthcare Do probiotics help with endometriosis? What other natural alterantives are there to deal with endometriosis? Probiotics is mainly recommended for digestive health and to help strengthen the immune system. Certain herbs such as Black cohosh, Thuja, Poke root and Chaste tree are commonly used in the treatment of female problems like endometriosis. Should there be any sign of poor liver function, liver herbs like Milk Thistle, Dandelion and Bupleurum are sometimes prescribed. This is crucial as the liver helps to detoxify excessive hormones which may link to the problem. As endometriosis can be complicated sometimes and it is important to use the right herbs with the right dosage, please consult a herbalist and the patient should be under the care of a herbalist if herbal medicine is their choice of treatment.
