I've been having some trouble with my anal area lately. It feels like it gets really tight and ends up hurting during bowel movements. It almost feels like the walls are tearing. What could be causing this, and how can I make it better?

The symptoms you're describing, including a narrowing of the anal opening, pain during bowel movements, and anal tears, suggest a possible diagnosis of anal stenosis or anal fissures; consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a thorough examination, which may include a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or colonoscopy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may involve topical creams, stool softeners, or surgical interventions.

View allI've been having a lot of issues with my stomach being really bloated and hard, like it's filled with gas all the time. It's starting to feel like a rock, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Even when I eat normal foods, I end up with acidity. I talked to my general practitioner, and I've been taking Esoz D when the bloating and acidity hit, but I'm worried its not really solving the issue. Is there something else I can do to get this under control? Should I be looking at my diet or something else?
You may be experiencing symptoms of excessive gas and bloating, which can lead to acidity. In addition to taking esoz D, you can also try taking simethicone (Gas-X) to help relieve gas and bloating. For acidity, you can consider taking ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication.

I'm really concerned about my health right now. I just got a USG report saying I have an enlarged liver, measuring 142mm, and the impression notes mild hepatomegaly. Everything else seems normal, but I've been struggling with slow digestion too. I'm currently avoiding alcoholic drinks and fast food, but I'm in a remote area where I can't find a specialist. Could taking LIV 52 tablets help with this, or is there anything else youd recommend?
Mild hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) can be due to various causes, including metabolic factors, infections, or liver conditions. While LIV 52 is commonly used for liver health, it's important to address the root cause of the enlargement, which might require further investigation or lifestyle changes like improving hydration, avoiding fatty foods, and managing stress. Given your remote location, its best to consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible, even through telemedicine, to ensure the proper course of treatment.

I've been having this issue for about six months now where every time I eat, I start to gag and it kinda feels like I'm gonna vomit. It seems to get worse the more I eat. I tried taking pantoprazole, but it hasn't really helped. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?
There could be multiple reasons for your problem. How healthy are you. Increased weitgh an be one of the causes. Also Change the type of food you eat. Take light and non spicy food for now. Your gagging sensation comes from throat or stomach? Take 1 tab Rabekind DSR daily empty stomach. Tab Emset 4 mg 1 tab daily 2 times a day, Tab Herbolax (Himalaya) 1 tab daily once a day. Continue these for 1 week and inform me. Do mild exercise daily and avoid going to bed immediately after meals. Next Steps if problem persists consult an ENT
