I've been dealing with anal fissures for over 4 months now and it's getting unbearable. Sometimes the pain kicks in right after my morning stool, other times it just starts out of the blue and sticks around all day. It gets so bad that I can't walk properly, and it hurts to sit or even try to sleep. I'm really struggling heredo you have any advice or treatments that could help?

Is it normal to poop 5 times a day?

There is no normal bowel movement. It can range from three times a day to three times a week. However, your normal pattern may be different from these numbers. If you have always been having five bowel movements daily then it is normal pattern for you. But, if this is a new change along with change is stool consistency then you might be having any intestinal infection or disease for which you need to consult a doctor.

I've been having this really sharp pain on the left side of my abdomen since yesterday, and its honestly freaking me out a bit. My CT scan today showed something about bowel thickening and pericolic fat stranding in the descending colon on the left iliac fossa. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might cause this kind of issue usually and what the general treatment might be. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I'm really worried because about 10 days ago, I drank some ORS powder mixed in water using a copper water bottle, and ever since then, I've been having a lot of stomach issues. It started with loose motion the same day, and now I'm dealing with an upset stomach, gas, cramps, and even vomiting almost every other day. How long do you think it will take before I start feeling better?
