I'm noticing this weird sensation that feels like a lump in my throat after eating. Burping sometimes relieves it a bit, but it eventually comes back. There's no pain, but occasionally it triggers my gag reflex. What could be causing this?

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.

I've been having these powder-like stools and some irritation in my abdomen, and it actually happened a couple of months ago too. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of it?

You may be experiencing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as Imodium (loperamide) to help with diarrhea and Dicyclomine (Bentyl) to help with abdominal cramping. It is important to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fiber. If your symptoms persist, it is recommended to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
