I'm really struggling with anal fissures because of constipation for over a year now, and I've been in a lot of pain. I tried seeing a gynecologist, and they gave me some meds for five days, but nothing's changed. I'm usually on a routine in the morning with bowel movements, but it's been painful for so long. I've switched up my diet to include more fiber and fluids, but I still feel the pain. The only relief I get is from using Cremaffin Plus syrup at night and nifecaine cream around bowel movements, but if I miss the syrup even for a night, the pain is unbearable the next day. We're thinking about having kids, but I'm concerned if these medications might affect conception. How long can I keep using the syrup without any long-term effects? Is there a solid solution for my situation, and what can I expect if there's a treatment?

It sounds like you're experiencing chronic pain due to an anal fissure, which can be aggravated by constipation. Despite your efforts with diet and medications, if the pain persists, it might be worth seeking a second opinion, as other treatments like topical nitrates or botox injections could help. Regarding conception, Cremaffin Plus and nifecaine cream are generally safe for short-term use, but it's advisable to discuss them with your doctor during the planning phase. Treatment duration and improvement vary, but typically, with proper management, healing can occur in a few weeks to months.

Your husband's gallstone size of 6.5mm is considered relatively small, and surgery might not be immediately necessary. However, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

I'm 31 and just got my bilirubin test results. It says my total bilirubin is at 1.99 and the indirect bilirubin is 1.69. Should I be worried about these numbers? Are they okay or do they indicate something concerning?
At 31 years old, your total bilirubin of 1.99 mgdL and indirect bilirubin of 1.69 mgdL are slightly elevated but not immediately concerning.

my husband has a 2 cm gallbladder stone with multiple calculi and had jaundice but his bilirubin levels are better now can the stones be treated with medicines or does he need surgery
Given the 2 cm gallbladder stone, multiple calculi, and previous jaundice, surgery is likely the best course of action for your husband's gallbladder. While medications can sometimes dissolve cholesterol stones, they are less effective for other types and may not be suitable for large or multiple stones.
