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 allHey, I was wondering if it's normal for someone to release gas about 50 times a day without any stomach pain. But there's this weird thing: whenever the muscle twitching stops, there's pain in the stomach. Could these be related? What could be going on here?

I'm a bit worried about my recent sgpt level coming out to be 74, even though my liver ultrasound is normal. In the past, I was told that my sgpt and sgpt levels were really high due to antituberculosis medicine causing liver issues. My Att was stopped on March 1st, and back then my sgpt level was 215. Can you help me understand why my sgpt level is still climbing? I'm not a drinker, and my weight is 80 kg, height is 6 feet, and my blood pressure is 116 over 82.

I'm on a vitamin D3 60K tablet once a week as recommended by my doctor, but about three weeks in, I've started having some stomach gas issues. Any ideas on how I might be able to minimize these side effects? Would really appreciate any guidance on this!
Gas problem in the stomach can be a common side effect of taking vitamin D3 supplements. To reduce this side effect, you can try taking the vitamin D3 supplement with food. This can help to minimize stomach irritation and reduce the likelihood of experiencing gas. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. If the gas problem persists, you can also try over-the-counter simethicone medication to help alleviate gas and bloating symptoms.
