View allI'm noticing some blood when I go to the bathroom and I'm pretty sure it's because I've got a scratch or something in the passage near the exit. It's also really burning when I poop. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you might have a small tear or fissure near your anus, which can cause bleeding and burning during bowel movements. It's important to keep the area clean, avoid straining, and consider using a soothing cream like zinc oxide or a sitz bath. If the bleeding continues or worsens, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor.

Is it possible to permanently cure GERD chest pain without surgery or is medication the only option I really want to understand if there's a long-term solution for this
While a full cure without surgery for GERD and its associated chest pain is possible for some individuals, it's not a guaranteed outcome for everyone. Lifestyle changes and medications are often the first-line treatments, but surgery can be a long-term solution for some

I found out I had Hepa B a couple of years back after an hbsag screening, and I was told it might go away by itself. So recently, I got my blood screened again, and the result came back as nonreactive. Could this mean the virus has cleared up on its own? I'm a bit confused and would appreciate some insight.
I'm happy to help clarify this for you. *Understanding Your Hepatitis B Test Results* *Initial Diagnosis (2 years ago)* - You tested positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), indicating an active Hepatitis B infection. *Recent Test Results* - Your recent HBsAg test result is "non-reactive," which means the virus is no longer detectable in your blood. *What Does This Mean?* A non-reactive HBsAg result suggests that: 1. *Viral clearance*: Your body may have cleared the Hepatitis B virus on its own, which is possible in some cases. 2. *Viral suppression*: Alternatively, the virus might still be present but at undetectable levels, possibly due to your immune system's response. However, to confirm whether you've truly cleared the virus, you should undergo further testing, such as: 1. *HBsAb (Hepatitis B surface antibody) test*: This checks for antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus, indicating immunity. 2. *HBV DNA (Hepatitis B virus DNA) test*: This measures the viral load in your blood.
