Is it possible to treat piles with medications alone without needing surgery? I've been dealing with discomfort and bleeding, and I'm worried about going under the knife. What are the best non-surgical options available?

I've been having some trouble with my anal area lately. It feels like it gets really tight and ends up hurting during bowel movements. It almost feels like the walls are tearing. What could be causing this, and how can I make it better?

The symptoms you're describing, including a narrowing of the anal opening, pain during bowel movements, and anal tears, suggest a possible diagnosis of anal stenosis or anal fissures; consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a thorough examination, which may include a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or colonoscopy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may involve topical creams, stool softeners, or surgical interventions.

I'm really worried about my dad who's been dealing with acidity issues for the past 10 years. He's been taking Aciloc for a while now, and I can't help but wonder if there are any natural remedies or home cures that might help instead of relying on medicine. Also, are there any side effects from taking Aciloc for so long?

While Aciloc is effective in managing acidity, there are also some home remedies that can help alleviate symptoms. For example, he can try consuming smaller and more frequent meals, avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, drinking a glass of cold milk or eating a banana can also provide relief from acidity. As for the side effects of Aciloc, common ones may include headache, dizziness, diarrhea, and stomach pain. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional if any side effects persist or worsen.

My wife Rita Datta is 58 and from Kolkata. She's been dealing with indigestion and loss of appetite, which has led to a lot of weight loss. A gastroenterologist at Peerless Hospital suggested an USG, and the report showed a large mass pushing her left kidney and spleen. They recommended a CT scan, which we did, and the gastrosurgeon advised immediate surgery. We've attached all the reports could you take a look and let us know what you think? We're really worried and not sure what the next steps should be

I can understand your concern. You haven't attached any reports as such with this question here. Also, why did you change doctors? And if immediate surgery is required, then i think you should get the surgery done. Consult a gastroenterologist in person for further evaluation and management
