I'm dealing with jaundice right now, and I've been feeling the urge to masturbate more often. I'm worried and curious if it's okay to masturbate while having jaundice. Are there any risks or side effects I should be aware of if I continue?

I've been dealing with a fissure for about 2 months now at the 6 o'clock position and have been using ano metrogyl cream along with meds as prescribed. How long does it usually take to heal completely and will I eventually need surgery for this?

Anal fissures usually heal within a few weeks, often within 3-6 weeks, with appropriate treatment. If your fissure has persisted for 2 months, it may be considered chronic and might require more intensive treatment, including potentially surgery.

My friend has been taking Colimex tablets for about seven months now, kind of using them like a drug. We're a bit worried because his SGPT level is 45. Could this be related to the Colimex, and what should he do about it?

Usually that's not related for your condition, this needs evaluation, visit Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment

I'm really worried about my health and could use some advice. I've been dealing with Spleenomegaly and Portal Vein Hypertension for the past four years, and on top of that, I've got esophagus varices. I recently had EVL banding done twice, but honestly, I haven't noticed any improvement. I'm just not active at all, and it's really bothering me. Can you help me understand the root cause of all this and what might be a permanent solution?
