I've had piles since childhood and now at 22 I still get pain during bowel movements. Is this something that can be treated with medication or would I eventually need surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For piles, medications like fiber supplements, stool softeners, or anti-inflammatory ointments can offer relief. However, if pain persists, surgery may be needed. Consult a colorectal surgeon for options.

I'm really worried because I've just been diagnosed with a grade 2 fatty liver and my sgpt is at 70.05. I've started feeling a dull abdominal pain, and even though I've cut out oily junk food and now walk about 3-4 kms daily, I'm struggling to get a good night's sleep, probably because of stress. Lately, I've noticed that after eating cabbage sabji for dinner, I can smell cabbage in my stool the next day. Could this mean something, or am I just overthinking it? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Its great that youve made positive changes like walking and avoiding oily foods. Fatty liver can cause mild discomfort, and stress might be affecting your sleep. The cabbage smell in your stool is likely due to digestion, which is normal, but if the pain persists or worsens, I recommend consulting your doctor for further guidance. Managing stress and improving sleep quality can also help with your overall health.

I've noticed that for the past few months, my stool has been really dark, like black or brown, and kind of sticky. There's no pain or anything, but it just doesn't seem normal to me. Should I be concerned and what might be causing it?
Dark black or brown sticky stool can be a sign of gastrointestinal bleeding. I recommend you to take **Pantoprazole** to reduce stomach acid and **Sucralfate** to help protect the lining of the stomach and intestines. These medications can help in case there is any ulceration or irritation in the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, it is important to follow up with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
