Question 1

I'm really struggling with anal fissures because of constipation for over a year now, and I've been in a lot of pain. I tried seeing a gynecologist, and they gave me some meds for five days, but nothing's changed. I'm usually on a routine in the morning with bowel movements, but it's been painful for so long. I've switched up my diet to include more fiber and fluids, but I still feel the pain. The only relief I get is from using Cremaffin Plus syrup at night and nifecaine cream around bowel movements, but if I miss the syrup even for a night, the pain is unbearable the next day.

We're thinking about having kids, but I'm concerned if these medications might affect conception. How long can I keep using the syrup without any long-term effects? Is there a solid solution for my situation, and what can I expect if there's a treatment?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing chronic pain due to an anal fissure, which can be aggravated by constipation. Despite your efforts with diet and medications, if the pain persists, it might be worth seeking a second opinion, as other treatments like topical nitrates or botox injections could help. Regarding conception, Cremaffin Plus and nifecaine cream are generally safe for short-term use, but it's advisable to discuss them with your doctor during the planning phase. Treatment duration and improvement vary, but typically, with proper management, healing can occur in a few weeks to months.

Question 2

I've been dealing with GERD for the past 2 years and it's really frustrating. Is there any way to cure it permanently without having to go through surgery? I'd love to know what options are out there.

Accepted Answer

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

Question 3

I'm experiencing this pain on the left side of my chest, right around the heart area, and I'm not sure if it's something heart-related. It comes with shortness of breath, a lot of burping, and I've been dealing with some acidity and gastric issues as well. Do you think this is more about my heart or my stomach acting up? Which kind of doctor should I talk to about this?

Accepted Answer

it is related to your stomach, consult a gastroenterologist

Yes thats due to Gastritis,follow your doctors advice and consume bland diet with time you will be fine
