I've had this persistent itching around my anus for three days now, and it sometimes comes with a burning sensation. It's not constant, but it keeps coming back. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any remedies I could try? I'm starting to get a bit worried.

I'm having this issue where I keep throwing up this yellowish, bitter liquid in the morning. It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what's going on. I also feel really nauseous when I try to eat, like my stomach's already full. It's quite uncomfortable. Any idea what might be causing this? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

I've been struggling with this issue for a while now and it's really worrying me. So, a couple of years ago, I had loose motions because of the water and I took Norflox Tz. It helped, but after finishing the course, I ended up with really bad constipation and bleeding which caused fissures. I've been trying probiotic milk, it's helped a bit, but the bleeding hasn't really gone away. Now it's been two years, and even though I eat healthy and drink lots of water, I'm still dealing with this. Is there a way to fix this, or could it be permanent?

To help with your current symptoms, you can try using a stool softener like Colace (Docusate) to make bowel movements easier and reduce straining. Additionally, you can use a topical cream like Anusol-HC to help with the pain and inflammation from the fissures. For long-term management, you may benefit from a prescription medication like Lactulose solution to help regulate your bowel movements and prevent constipation. It is important to continue consuming probiotics and maintaining a healthy diet with plenty of fiber and water. If the bleeding persists, it is advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
