I've had a chronic anal fissure for the last three months, and it's caused a small skin tag. Can medicine alone completely heal it, or is surgery the only permanent fix? Also, if I skip surgery, could things like constipation or anal sex make the fissure worse later on? Would really appreciate your advice.

Had anal fissure surgery 3 months ago but noticed some bleeding during bowel movements today. Could going to the gym be causing this or is it something else I should worry about

Fistulectomy is advised,also surgery opinion is advised.

I'm really struggling with this pain I've had for a month now. I've seen several doctors, and they've given me tablets, but nothing seems to help. I don't have a cough or fever, just this persistent pain in my right upper abdomen. Sometimes the pain spreads to my back and other times to my right chest. I'm worried if I might have broken ribs or a liver issue. What do you think I should do?

it might be due to gastritis, take tablet pantop for 5 days

I've been feeling some tightness in my mid to lower abdomen and I've noticed my acid reflux has been worse lately. Occasionally, I feel nauseous and I've had a cough that seems to be getting better now, but my bowel movements have been all over the place. What could be causing all this?

Your symptoms, including abdominal tightness, acid reflux, nausea, cough, and irregular bowel movements, suggest possible gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); consider consulting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation, including upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, or imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include dietary changes, antacids, acid reducers, or medication to manage symptoms.
