Can a fissure with a small skin tag heal completely using just ointments and meds or is surgery the only option What treatments would you recommend for this
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it's possible for an anal fissure with a small skin tag to heal completely using ointments and medications, especially if the fissure is acute. Surgery is generally reserved for chronic fissures that don't respond to conservative treatment.

View allI've been dealing with acidity problems for the last 5 years, and it's been really tough. I get these severe stomach aches because of it, and they only seem to go away when I take medicine like meftal spas. I'm really looking for a more permanent solution for this. What can I do?
i understand your concern...try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above for 15 days.

I've been dealing with a pretty concerning issue of drooling in my sleep, and a friend mentioned it might be due to worms in my stomach or intestines. So I'm a bit worried and have a few questions about this. Is it really possible that worms could be causing the drooling? Also, it's quite severe for me, so how can I reduce or even completely stop this drooling problem? And if worms are the issue, what's the best way to get rid of them? Are deworming tablets a permanent solution, or should I consider an ayurvedic option?
Drooling while sleeping is usually not caused by worms in the body. It could be due to issues like nasal congestion, sleeping position, or excessive saliva production. To reduce drooling, try sleeping on your side and address any nasal blockages. For worms, de-worming tablets can be effective, but it's important to follow up with your doctor for the best treatment plan. Ayurveda can also be an option, but consult a healthcare professional before starting any alternative treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent liver test results. It says my liver is slightly enlarged at 14.8 cm, and there's a grade 3 diffuse fatty change. It mentions mild hepatomegaly with fatty liver, but the tests for Hepatitis A and C came back negative. My liver enzyme levels are SGOT 46.5, SGPT 91.5, and Gamma GT 97.1. I'm not a drinker, so that's not a factor. Could you help me understand what all this means for my health and what steps I should take next?
