I've been dealing with an anal fissure for a while now and nothing seems to help stool softeners, isabgol, ointments, even sitz baths haven't made a difference. I really don't want surgery because I can't take time off work with my desk job. Are there any other ways to heal the fissure and get my sphincter back to normal without going under the knife?

Chronic anal fissure may improve with GTN or diltiazem ointments, Botox injections, and dietary changes—surgery is last resort.

I've been dealing with some stomach discomfort lately and my doctor prescribed Sompraz D and Ulgel A syrup. Since I started taking them, I've noticed my stomach makes a lot of gurgling noises, especially when I'm lying down. Is this a normal side effect? Should I be worried?
