View allI'm dealing with gas and flatulence a lot, like up to 14 times a day for the last three months. My health's pretty good otherwiseall my health check-ups came back normal. I'm 44 years old, weigh 81 kg, and I'm about 5'10". However, about a month ago, I noticed a bit of blood when I was cleaning up after a bowel movement. I went to see a surgeon, and they said I have second-grade external piles. Could the flatulence be causing the piles? What kind of treatment or medicine should I be considering? I work a middle-management job that involves mostly sitting at a desk and some traveling. Right now, I'm using pilorute cream twice a day and taking 15 ml of lactulose at night. Any advice would be really helpful.

How do I know if my stomach pain is serious?
Usual causes of stomach pain are acidity, indigestion, gall stones, intestinal disorders, kidney stones and infections. Most of them can be mild and be treated at home under doctor's guidance but sometimes, any of them can cause sudden sharp pain with intense vomiting and diarrhea. So, it is better to consult with doctor and take treatment as early as possible.

I've been having these recurring stomach aches every time I try to go to the toilet, but nothing actually happens, just pain on that side. It's really frustrating because it doesn't seem to improve. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just clear up on its own? I've been trying to figure out what could be causing it. Any insights?
It sounds like you're experiencing frequent bowel movements and pain on one side, which could be due to a digestive issue, such as irritable bowel syndrome or an infection. It's important to consult with a doctor to identify the exact cause and get appropriate treatment.
