I've been struggling with this issue for a while now and it's really worrying me. So, a couple of years ago, I had loose motions because of the water and I took Norflox Tz. It helped, but after finishing the course, I ended up with really bad constipation and bleeding which caused fissures. I've been trying probiotic milk, it's helped a bit, but the bleeding hasn't really gone away. Now it's been two years, and even though I eat healthy and drink lots of water, I'm still dealing with this. Is there a way to fix this, or could it be permanent?

To help with your current symptoms, you can try using a stool softener like Colace (Docusate) to make bowel movements easier and reduce straining. Additionally, you can use a topical cream like Anusol-HC to help with the pain and inflammation from the fissures. For long-term management, you may benefit from a prescription medication like Lactulose solution to help regulate your bowel movements and prevent constipation. It is important to continue consuming probiotics and maintaining a healthy diet with plenty of fiber and water. If the bleeding persists, it is advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI just got my health checkup results, and it says my bilirubin levels are high. It shows a total bilirubin of 1.65 mgdl, direct bilirubin at 0.5 mgdl, and indirect bilirubin at 1.15 mgdl. Should I be concerned? Why would my bilirubin levels be elevated, and how can I bring them back to normal? Also, the tests show a vitamin D deficiency with levels at 17.47 ngml, a high lymphocyte percentage at 49.1, and a low basophils absolute count of 0.01 x1000 L. I often feel very tired but dont have any other symptoms. What might all this mean?
Your bilirubin levels are slightly elevated, which could indicate mild liver stress or Gilbert's syndrome, especially since you recently had jaundice. Focus on hydration, a liver-friendly diet, and avoiding alcohol or heavy medications. Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to fatigue; supplements will help. Elevated lymphocytes and low basophils may be a transient immune responseno immediate concern but monitor if symptoms persist.

I had jaundice about a month ago, and my bilirubin levels were at 9.02 at the highest. How long should I wait before I can safely drink alcohol again? I'm really concerned about my liver and would love to hear your advice.
-Its best to avoid alcohol for at least 3-6 months after jaundice to give your liver time to recover fully. Since your bilirubin was significantly elevated, consult your doctor to confirm liver function has normalized before drinking.

I'm really worried because I've had HH for the last 10 years and been on medication, specifically nexpre 20 plain, every day and it's been manageable. But for the last 5 or 6 years, I've noticed blood in my stool occasionally which goes away after a few days. This time something else seems to be happeninglike some kind of flesh is coming out and I have no idea what that could be. Can you help me understand what's going on?
