I've been dealing with slow transit constipation and HiFiber seems to be making it worse. My doctor advised against long-term laxative use but I'm not seeing improvement. Could surgery be a viable option for my condition?

View allI'm just wondering if I should continue taking the SIBOFix tablets since Ive already finished a 3-day course? I noticed that there are some available for another 3 days. Also, I'm planning to go to my native place for 3 days soon. Could you let me know if an appointment can be scheduled on the morning of the 17th before I leave?

I've been experiencing pain in my rectum for about a month now, especially when I'm passing stool. It's really uncomfortable and I'm worried about what might be causing it. What could this issue be, and what type of doctor should I reach out to?
Rectal pain can have many causes, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, constipation, infections, or even more serious conditions like abscesses or inflammatory bowel disease. It's important to consult with a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, focus on gentle self-care methods like warm sitz baths, increasing fiber intake, and avoiding straining.
