I've been having this burning sensation around the outer part of my anus for about a month now, and it's been incredibly painful, especially when I go to the toilet. I'm really worried about what could be causing this and how to make it stop. What do you think I should do?

Medical Guidance
- Consult your doctor: Discuss your plans for anal sex with your doctor to ensure it's safe.
- Assess hernia severity: Your doctor will evaluate the hernia's size, location, and potential risks.
Potential Risks
- Hernia exacerbation: Anal sex may worsen the hernia or cause further discomfort.
- Pain or discomfort: Despite current lack of pain, anal sex may cause discomfort or pain.
- Infection risk: If the hernia is not properly managed, there's a risk of infection.
Precautions
- Use protection: Always use condoms or other barrier methods to reduce infection risk.
- Communicate with your partner: Inform your partner about your hernia and any discomfort or pain.
- Monitor your body: Stop immediately if you experience pain, discomfort, or worsening symptoms.
Please Note

View allI've been dealing with hyperacidity and heartburn for over a year now, even after cutting out tea and cola and sticking to home food. For the last three months, I've had to rely on Pentocid 40 every morning because Zinetac doesn't work as well. While it controls the acidity, I've developed a constant cough that doesn't bring up phlegm and sometimes wheezing. I've also started snoring a lot with my mouth open, leading to dry mouth and waking up at night. I really don't want surgery or an endoscopy is there a natural way to manage this? Also, could daily Pentocid cause side effects, especially since I'm already on Telma 40 for BP? I'm a bit of a hypochondriac but not stressed, and I don't smoke or drink. Just turned 45 could age be a factor?
.try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..do regular exercises...take pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above....consult physician if symptoms persists.

My mom's been dealing with a burning sensation for the past 7-8 months and the doctor thinks it's due to acidity but it hasnt gotten any better. Shes also on meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, and a 14 mm kidney stone. Heres what shes taking: Glycomet 250, Azulix, Clopivas, Rebagem, Panplus D 40, Nikoran 5, Stonex, Laregab AT LS, Olmat, and Nurokind. I'm worried because nothing seems to help with the burning. Could this mix of medications be causing it, or could it be something else? What should we do next?
