I've been dealing with external piles for 34 years and never told anyone because I'm embarrassed. They swell up, hurt badly, and sometimes bleed. I get constipated easily, can't digest food properly, and there's itching and sharp pain around my anus. The hemorrhoids are about the size of a chana pulse I don't know what stage I'm at but I can't take it anymore. Can this be treated without surgery? I'm really scared of going under the knife.

I'm experiencing some weird stomach issues and I'm a bit concerned. I used to have a stomach ulcer, which is thankfully better now, but for the past few months, my stomach's been gurgling a lot. I also feel really full and get a ton of gas after eating. It's like I can actually feel the gas forming, and there's this constant growling sound in my stomach that only seems to go away when I have a full meal. It's at its worst when I'm hungry. On top of that, my stool has been green and soft most of the time. I used to take pantotab every morning for my ulcer, but I stopped because it was making me super drowsy. Any idea what's going on? I'm kinda worried.
Your symptoms of constant stomach gurgling, feeling full after eating, gas formation, and green, soft stools, especially after recovering from a stomach ulcer, may indicate issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or gastroparesis, and the drowsiness you experienced from Pantoprazole (Pantotab) tablets may be a side effect, so it's essential to consult your gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms,

I'm dealing with IBS and it's been tough figuring out how to manage it. I'm really trying to avoid junk food and dairy, but does this mean I have to stick with that forever? Are there any other ways to relieve the bloating, like maybe some tablets or something? How long does it usually take for symptoms to start improving?
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a chronic condition and there is no definite cure for it. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. It varies from person to person, but it may take several weeks to months to see improvement with treatment. Having IBS mean that avoiding junk foods, milk items for the rest of the life? It is recommended to avoid trigger foods that worsen IBS symptoms, such as junk foods and dairy products. For bloating relief, you can try over-the-counter simethicone tablets
