I'm having some discomfort right at the opening of my anus, but there's no blood in my stools. I am also experiencing loose motions. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. Pain in the anal area without bleeding, especially with loose motions, could be due to irritation, an anal fissure, or infection. Keep the area clean, stay hydrated, and consider taking a mild stool binder like ORS with electrolytes. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for a proper examination.

View allI'm trying to figure out what's safer for someone dealing with constipation who also has heart and diabetes issues. Should they go for Cremaffin or is the sugar-free version of Cremaffin Plus a better option? Would love some advice.
For cardiac and diabetic patients with constipation, it's essential to choose a medication that is safe and suitable for their conditions. _Cremaffin vs. Cremaffin Plus (Sugar-Free)_ 1. *Cremaffin*: Contains senna, a natural laxative, and is available in various formulations. 2. *Cremaffin Plus (Sugar-Free)*: A variant of Cremaffin, specifically designed for diabetic patients, as it is sugar-free. _Safety Considerations for Cardiac and Diabetic Patients_ 1. *Cardiac Patients*: Senna, the active ingredient in Cremaffin, can increase heart rate and blood pressure. However, this effect is generally mild and short-lived. 2. *Diabetic Patients*: The sugar-free variant, Cremaffin Plus, is a better option to avoid increasing blood sugar levels. _Recommendation_ For cardiac and diabetic patients with constipation, *Cremaffin Plus (Sugar-Free)* is likely a safer option. However, it's essential to consult with your doctor or healthcare provider before taking any medication, especially if you have underlying medical conditions. Remember to always follow the recommended dosage and usage instructions for any medication.

I'm having some gas issues lately and after I work out, I've been getting this pinpoint pain on the left side of my chest. It first happened a couple of weeks ago and again yesterday. The pain wasn't super strong, but it was there, and I also had some trouble breathing and felt a bit nauseous. What could be going on?
it might be gastritis, take tablet pantoprazole once daily for 5 days

I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing every evening; it feels like some sort of shortness of breath. I suspect it might be linked to acid reflux because when I manage to get rid of some gas, my breathing seems to return to normal. The feeling's pretty uncomfortable when the gas is there, and I'm starting to worry if there might be a lung issue going on. Could this be something related to my lungs, or is it really just about the reflux? Any guidance would be really appreciated.
