I've been dealing with anal stenosis for over a month now and have constant pain. Been using a dilator for 10 days to help relax the muscles. Can this heal without surgery? What medicines or ointments could help ease the pain?

I've had jaundice before, but I'm doing well now. I'm thinking about using Liv 52 as a regular detox thing. How many Liv 52 tablets should I take a day? And is there a limit on how long I can use it without worrying?

It is generally safe to use Liv 52 for a prolonged period of time as it is a natural hepatoprotective supplement. However, if you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.
