For your question about using Combiflam (Ibuprofen 400mg + Paracetamol 325mg) for anal pain relief until you see a doctor, here are the key points to consider:

  1. Short-term pain relief: Combiflam can help reduce pain and inflammation temporarily.
  2. Safety: It is generally safe for a healthy adult male to use for a short period, but avoid if you have any allergies, stomach ulcers, kidney issues, or other contraindications.
  3. Limitations: This medication treats symptoms but not the underlying cause of anal pain, which could be due to various reasons like hemorrhoids, fissures, or infections.
  4. When to see a doctor: If pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by bleeding, fever, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical evaluation promptly.

Using Combiflam cautiously for short-term relief is reasonable, but it’s important to follow up with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm dealing with recurring blood in my stool and was recently told by my general physician that I have a chronic anal fissure. I don't experience any pain, but the sight of blood is making me really anxious. Is this something normal with a chronic fissure, or should I be more concerned? What steps should I take next?
