I'm dealing with recurring blood in my stool and was recently told by my general physician that I have a chronic anal fissure. I don't experience any pain, but the sight of blood is making me really anxious. Is this something normal with a chronic fissure, or should I be more concerned? What steps should I take next?

I've had jaundice before, but I'm doing well now. I'm thinking about using Liv 52 as a regular detox thing. How many Liv 52 tablets should I take a day? And is there a limit on how long I can use it without worrying?

For detoxification purposes, you can take 2 tablets of Liv 52 twice a day after meals. It is generally safe to use Liv 52 for a prolonged period of time as it is a natural hepatoprotective supplement. However, if you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.

I had surgery for a hiatus hernia two years ago but for the past three months I've been dealing with heartburn and esophagus pain. Is this normal after surgery? I took pantoprazole for a month but I'm not sure if it's the best option for GERD. Can you suggest other medications that might work better? I can't get an endoscopy where I live because the doctors and equipment aren't reliable so I need advice on managing this without that option

Yes, symptoms can recur post-surgery. Try other PPIs like esomeprazole or rabeprazole, or add alginate-based antacids. Avoid large meals, alcohol, and late-night eating. Elevate head while sleeping.
