Can I use Anovate ointment for a burning sensation in my butt during and after using the toilet? I've been really uncomfortable and I'm not sure if this is the right treatment. What do you think?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, Anovate ointment can help soothe burning sensations around the anus, especially after bowel movements. However, it's important to ensure you're not dealing with an underlying condition like an infection or fissures. If the discomfort persists, consulting a doctor would be a good idea.

View allI've had painful anal fissures and piles for the last six months and it's really bothering me. Can you suggest some treatment options that don't involve surgery? I'm worried about the discomfort and want to know what else might help.
Anal fissures often heal within a few weeks with appropriate home treatment. Take steps to keep the stool soft, such as increasing your intake of fiber and fluids. Soak in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes several times a day, especially after bowel movements. This can help relax the sphincter and promote healing

I've been having this non-cardiac pain on the left side of my chest for years now. I've done various tests like X-rays, ECG, blood tests, and PFT, and they all came back normal. The doctors tell me it's nothing to worry about and suggest I just need to distract myself. Some have even mentioned it could be gas. But this pain feels suffocating, and it usually hits when I'm resting and thinking about it. Strangely enough, I can run for an hour without any issues. It's just really frustrating and concerning. Any idea what could be happening?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain, especially since all your tests have come back normal. This type of pain can be caused by inflammation in the muscles or joints in the chest wall. To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the painful area and practice relaxation techniques to help manage any stress or anxiety that may be contributing to your symptoms. If the pain persists, you can also try using a topical pain relief gel containing diclofenac, applying it to the affected area up to 3-4 times a day. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the product packaging.

Can we drink tea if our SGPT and SGOT levels are slightly high, like 60 out of 45 and 58 out of 35? Would that be okay or should we avoid it?
