I'm having some trouble with my digestive system and it's starting to worry me a bit. I've been noticing blood in my stool, and I often feel the urge to go to the bathroom multiple times, but my stomach still feels like it's not completely clear afterward. My stools have also become quite narrow. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe suggest a stool test that I might need?

View allI've been dealing with an anal fissure for 2 months now and haven't taken any medicines until recently. For the past 15 days, I tried coconut oil and it helped heal about 90% of the fissure, but then it came back because of hard stools. For the last 5 days, I've been doing sitz baths three times a day for 20 minutes, taking Pilex tablets, and using Pilex ointment. I've also been eating high-fiber foods and drinking more water for a month. Will this treatment heal the fissure completely or is surgery the only option? How long should I wait to see if it gets better before considering the next step? I'm really worried about this.
It's understandable to be concerned about your anal fissure, especially after experiencing a recurrence despite initial improvement. While your current treatment, including sitz baths, Pilex, high-fiber diet, and increased water intake, is beneficial for managing symptoms and promoting healing, it may not be enough to completely resolve chronic fissures. It's advisable to continue these measures and monitor for any signs of improvement over the next 6-8 weeks. If the fissure doesn't show significant healing or you continue to experience pain and discomfort, consult with a doctor, who might recommend additional treatments, including botox injections or, in some cases, surgery.

I'm experiencing this weird sensation where whenever I drink water, I feel a cold sensation in the right side of my chest. It's been happening for about a month now, along with moderate chest pain that comes and goes, and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. I'm getting a bit worried about what this could mean. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where acid from the stomach can irritate the chest and throat. The sensation of something stuck in your throat could be due to acid reflux affecting the esophagus. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss possible treatments like antacids or lifestyle changes.

I'm dealing with piles and I'm really unsure about what to do next. Could you guide me on the best medicine to take for this?
You can use Anovate cream for local application to reduce pain and inflammation. Apply a small amount of cream on the affected area twice daily after cleaning the area. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and consume a high-fiber diet to help with your condition.
