I was wondering if you could help me with something. Last night, I felt something moving in my anus after going to the toilet. There's also this little pain I've been experiencing in my lower left stomach and groin area. Sometimes it even feels like there's some kind of obstruction when I'm trying to have a bowel movement or when I urinate. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

The sensation of something moving in your anus, accompanied by pain in the lower left stomach and groin area, and occasional obstruction during bowel movements or urination, may indicate a possible rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, or anal fissure; schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist,

View allI'm really concerned about what I should be eating after my fistula surgery. Could you help me with a diet plan that promotes easy digestion, smooth bowel movements, and supports my recovery? I'm a bit anxious about doing the right things to heal quickly. Any guidance would be appreciated.
To promote easy digestion, passing of stools, and early recovery after fistula surgery, it is important to follow a diet that is high in fiber and fluids. Increase your fiber intake by including foods such as fruits (apples, bananas, berries), vegetables (broccoli, carrots, spinach), whole grains (oats, brown rice, whole wheat bread), and legumes (beans, lentils). Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. Include probiotic-rich foods in your diet such as yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut to promote gut health. Avoid spicy and greasy foods that may irritate your digestive system. Opt for lean proteins such as chicken, fish, tofu, and eggs. Incorporate healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil. Limit your intake of processed foods and sugary snacks. Eat small, frequent meals to prevent bloating and discomfort. For easy digestion and early recovery, you can also consider taking a stool softener like Docusate Sodium (Colace) as recommended by your healthcare provider. Remember to follow your doctor's advice and gradually introduce new foods into your diet to monitor any adverse reactions.
