I've been dealing with a fissure for about 2 months now at the 6 o'clock position and have been using ano metrogyl cream along with meds as prescribed. How long does it usually take to heal completely and will I eventually need surgery for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Anal fissures usually heal within a few weeks, often within 3-6 weeks, with appropriate treatment. If your fissure has persisted for 2 months, it may be considered chronic and might require more intensive treatment, including potentially surgery.

View allI've been dealing with this chest pain for quite a while now and it's really starting to worry me. It feels like something in the middle of my chest is hurting a lot. Plus, I sometimes vomit, which burns my chest and inner neck really bad. Mornings are especially tough because I often feel like I'm going to throw up. I'm just trying to figure out why I'm experiencing this and what I can do to make it better. Any insights would be greatly appreciated because this is becoming really stressful.

I'm really worried about my dad's condition. The doctor mentioned he has to take this Pantocid HP kit, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to use it. Also, are there any side effects we should be aware of? Since he's diabetic too, does that pose any additional risks with these meds? Could really use some guidance here.
The Pantocid HP kit is commonly used to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterial infection in the stomach, which can cause ulcers. The kit usually contains a combination of three medications: Pantoprazole (40mg), Clarithromycin (500mg), and Amoxicillin (1000mg). It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of the treatment to ensure effectiveness and minimize the risk of side effects. Since your father is a diabetic patient, it is important to monitor his blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication, as it may interact with his diabetes medication. It is advisable to inform the doctor about his diabetes and any other medications he is taking to avoid any potential drug interactions.

I've been eating raw rice for over two years now and I usually eat quite a lot every day. I'm starting to wonder if this habit could be bad for my health. Is eating raw rice harmful?
Eating raw rice can be harmful as it may lead to various health issues. It can cause digestive problems such as bloating, gas, and constipation. In severe cases, it can also lead to nutrient deficiencies due to the phytates present in raw rice that can interfere with nutrient absorption. I recommend seeking medical advice to address this habit.
