Question 1

I've been diagnosed with hiatus hernia and gastritis and my doctor prescribed meds but the pain hasn't improved much in the last week. How long does it usually take for the meds to work? Also wondering about the approximate cost for laparoscopic hiatus hernia surgery in Bangalore since I might need it if this doesn't get better

Question 2

I've been dealing with some stomach issues lately, feeling really heavy and having a lot of gas and acidity whenever I eat. It's making me feel tired all over, with weakness, fatigue, and headaches. Also, for the past 25 days, my legs have been feeling weak and fatigued, especially when I'm trying to sleep at night. It's been pretty tough on me, and I'm really hoping for some advice or support on what might be causing this and how I can feel better. What do you think could be going on and what should I do?

Question 3

I've been struggling with this issue for months. Whenever I stand for a long time or walk a bit, I get this weird sweaty feeling around my anus, and I notice stains on my underwear that match that pattern. Also, when I poop, there's this white foam in it, and it just won't go away. The doctor had me get a perianal ultrasound, and everything looked fine, probably because they only checked the outside. They also mentioned it wasn't a fistula. I'm at a loss about what to do next. Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms, including the sweat-like sensation, anal staining, and white foam in stool, suggest a possible anal gland or fistula issue, despite the external perianal ultrasound being normal; consider seeking a second opinion from a colorectal surgeon or gastroenterologist for a more thorough evaluation, including a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or MRI, to rule out conditions like anal fistula, abscess, or proctitis, and to develop an effective treatment plan.
