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.

View allI'm really worried because I've been having some bad stomach pains and vomiting. I've already tried taking Ulgel, Loxof 500, and Cyclopam, but nothing seems to be working. Could this be a serious gastrointestinal issue, or is there something else I should try to get some relief? How concerned should I be about this?

I have multiple gallstones with a large one measuring 10-12 mm but no pain so far just occasional indigestion, acidity, and gas issues. Should I consider surgery now or wait? Could homeopathy be an option or is that not advisable?
It's best to consult with a surgeon and/or your general practitioner to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. While you're currently asymptomatic, a large gallstone can increase the risk of complications like blockages or infections, potentially requiring surgery. Homeopathy is not a scientifically proven treatment for gallstones and may not be effective, according to medical professionals

I'm really concerned about my health right now. I just got a USG report saying I have an enlarged liver, measuring 142mm, and the impression notes mild hepatomegaly. Everything else seems normal, but I've been struggling with slow digestion too. I'm currently avoiding alcoholic drinks and fast food, but I'm in a remote area where I can't find a specialist. Could taking LIV 52 tablets help with this, or is there anything else youd recommend?
Mild hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) can be due to various causes, including metabolic factors, infections, or liver conditions. While LIV 52 is commonly used for liver health, it's important to address the root cause of the enlargement, which might require further investigation or lifestyle changes like improving hydration, avoiding fatty foods, and managing stress. Given your remote location, its best to consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible, even through telemedicine, to ensure the proper course of treatment.
