I'm 45 years old and dealing with piles issues right now. My doctor mentioned trying Hilo tablets. Can you explain how these tablets work for piles? I'm just trying to understand how they'll help with my condition.

Hilo tablets, containing Daflon (diosmin and hesperidin), work by improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and strengthening blood vessels, which helps alleviate piles symptoms such as pain, itching, and bleeding by reducing swelling and promoting healing of the affected veins.

I've been dealing with some tough acidity and gas issues lately. I usually take a Topcid 40 tablet when this flares up, but I'm not sure if it's the right move. Is it safe and effective for what I'm experiencing? Also, are there any tips you could give me to help avoid these problems in the future? And one more thing - between Topcid and Digene, which one is actually better for stuff like acidity or gas?

I'm experiencing some discomfort with itching and occasionally a burning sensation after I pass stool, which lasts for a few hours before it settles down. But the itching tends to come and go. I've been using Betadine cream on my anus, and it seems to provide some relief. Is it safe for me to keep doing this, or should I be considering something else? Could you provide some guidance on this?

yes but do stool culture examination
