I've been dealing with gastritis for a few months now, and I got diagnosed with LAX LES GERD and H. pylori after an endoscopy. I completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H.pylori, but I'm not sure if it's fully gone. I'm still on acid blockers and antacids because my symptoms aren't getting much better. My stomach always feels bloated, and there's a burning sensation from the ribs down to the belly button, plus some discomfort when it comes to bowel movements. I've looked into allopathic treatments, but it seems like everything is about acid blockers, antibiotics, and lifestyle changes. I'm curious if there's a way to treat this with Ayurveda or if there's any proven method to really cure it. Any advice?

It's good that you have completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H. pylori eradication. Since you are still experiencing symptoms of gastritis and GERD, you can consider trying Ayurvedic treatment. It's important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan based on your specific symptoms and body constitution. Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause of the disease and aims for long-term relief. Make sure to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle as advised by the Ayurvedic practitioner for better results.

I'm really nervous because the doctor recommended that I get a colonoscopy. Is it going to be painful? How should I prepare for the procedure? Also, could this help figure out why I've been experiencing bloating issues?

I'm noticing some fluid leaking from my anus, and it had been painful for the first couple of days, but now there's no pain. It still leaks, though. There's no pain when I go to the bathroom, and I've never seen any blood. Any idea what this might be or what I should do about it?

The itching around your bikini line, butt, and ringworm on your thighs can be uncomfortable and concerning. Here's a step-by-step plan to help you address these issues: *Immediate Relief* 1. *Continue using Itch Guard and Candid dusting powder*: These products seem to provide temporary relief, so you can continue using them to manage the itching. 2. *Apply an antifungal cream*: For the ringworm on your thighs, apply an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole or Miconazole. *Underlying Cause* 1. *Fungal infections*: The itching and ringworm suggest a fungal infection, possibly caused by Candida or Tinea. 2. *Moisture and hygiene*: Excessive moisture, sweating, and poor hygiene can contribute to fungal growth. 3. *Tight clothing*: Wearing tight clothing, especially in warm weather, can create a warm, moist environment that fosters fungal growth. *Prevention and Treatment* 1. *Improve hygiene*: Practice good hygiene by washing the affected areas with soap and water, especially after exercising or sweating. 2. *Wear loose, breathable clothing*: Avoid tight clothing and opt for loose, breathable fabrics like cotton. 3. *Use antifungal powders or sprays*: Apply antifungal powders or sprays to the affected areas to help prevent fungal growth. 4. *Consider probiotics*: Probiotics can help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, which can, in turn, help prevent fungal infections. 5. *Consult a doctor*: If the itching and ringworm persist or worsen, consult a doctor for further guidance and treatment. *Additional Tips* 1. *Avoid scratching*: Scratching can further irritate the skin and create an environment conducive to fungal growth. 2. *Stay dry*: Dry yourself thoroughly, especially after showering or bathing, to prevent moisture buildup. 3. *Wash clothing and bedding*: Regularly wash your clothing and bedding in hot water to prevent the spread of fungal spores.

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.
