I'm a 34-year-old guy dealing with these annoying anal fissures for about 5 years now, and they seem to keep coming back. It's been happening since 2011, and when they appear, the pain is just unbearable. I've been following the doctor's advice more fiber, stool softeners, using Lox 2 jelly, and taking sitz baths. They heal only to reappear like every 2-3 months, especially after episodes of very soft or hard stools. There's this fleshy part around my anus that sticks out, which I think makes things worse. A couple of months ago, I had a sigmoidoscopy, and while everything seemed normal, they did find a small fissure and small piles. The doc just said to keep on with the Lox 2 jelly and add some AnoBliss too. I'm wondering if there's a way to heal these fissures permanently without surgery. Is it alright to keep using Lox 2 jelly every time I go to the bathroom? And, are these recurring fissures something that could potentially lead to rectal or anal cancer?

View allI've been having liquid stools and a fever since last night. I took some Roko and Crocin, but they didn't seem to help. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I try something different to feel better?
The sudden onset of loose motions with liquid stool and fever, unresponsive to Roko and Crocin, suggests a possible gastrointestinal infection, such as gastroenteritis or food poisoning; stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, like oral rehydration solutions (ORS), coconut water, or clear broths; consider taking anti-diarrheal medications like Loperamide

I'm dealing with hyperacidity and GERD for the past couple of years and have been on PPI meds for about a year and a half. I've tried different PPIs and regularly see my gastroenterologist, but my symptoms always seem to come back just a week or two after stopping the meds. Is taking PPI the only way to treat this, or are there other options I could consider?
