I'm currently applying cremagel cream for an anal fissure, and I'm really worried about what to do if it doesn't get better after using this ointment. What is the best way to heal a fissure if it doesn't worsen after these treatments?

In addition to using Cremagel cream, the best solution for curing an anal fissure involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medical treatments. Lifestyle Changes include adding fiber to your diet, drinking adequate fluids, exercising regularly, and avoiding straining during bowel movement and consult surgeon

View allI recently had an ultrasound without any particular reason and it showed I have a gallstone that's 16mm. The thing is, I'm not having any pain or issues right now. Should I be thinking about removing my gallbladder? I'm just not sure what the best course of action is.

I've been having this stomach issue where I burp all day long, and it's driving me crazy. No matter what I eat or drink, even if it's just water, I end up burping like crazy afterward. It feels like there's something off. Could you help me figure out what's going on? I'm a bit worried and looking for some advice.
Can be due to various reasons such as swallowing air while eating or drinking, acid reflux, or certain gastrointestinal conditions. I recommend trying over-the-counter medication like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate burping symptoms. Additionally, avoid carbonated drinks, chewing gum, and eating too quickly. If the symptoms persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've recently been dealing with concern after recovering from dengue. My platelets had dropped to 26,000, and I had to get a platelet transfusion. At the time, I was feeling okay, but now I'm experiencing some different symptoms. Sometimes, I get this burning sensation in my stomach and out of the blue, my heart starts hurting. It doesn't really match the typical signs of heart pain, but it bothers me. Also, during dengue, my gallbladder was distended, but it's back to normal now. Should I be worried about these new symptoms? What could be causing them?
It sounds like you may be experiencing some gastrointestinal issues and possible heart-related symptoms after recovering from dengue fever. The burning sensation in your stomach could be due to gastritis or acid reflux. I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to help with the stomach burning. As for the sudden heart pain, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. You can take a low dose of Aspirin 81mg daily to help with any potential heart-related pain. It is also important to continue monitoring your platelet levels and overall health. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
