View allI've been dealing with these analrectal cuts and itching for almost a week now, and I think it's anal fissures. I'm using T Bact and Fucidin H cream, which seems to help, but the cuts keep spreading. Even after they heal, my skin still feels itchy and irritated. I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting these anal cuts so often, especially since there hasn't been any anal intercourse to stress the area. What should I do?
You may be experiencing recurrent anal fissures, which can be quite uncomfortable. The use of topical ointments like T Bact and Fucidin H cream can help with healing, but it's important to address the underlying cause to prevent recurrence. To help prevent anal fissures and promote healing, I recommend the following: - Keep the anal area clean and dry - Increase your fiber intake to soften stools and make bowel movements easier - Stay well-hydrated - Avoid straining during bowel movements - Consider using a stool softener if needed - Sitz baths can help soothe the area and promote healing In addition, you may benefit from using a topical ointment like Rectogesic (glyceryl trinitrate) to help relax the anal sphincter and promote healing of the fissures. If these measures do not provide relief or if the fissures continue to recur, I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm 19 years old and recently noticed something strange - my stomach moves in a way that feels like a heartbeat. I'm not sure if it's something that has always been there, but I've only noticed it in the last couple of months. Could this be something normal or should I be worried about it?
it is not related to that
