I've had stage 3 hemorrhoids and SRUS diagnosed by colonoscopy back in August 2019. They weren't painful before but for the past month, I've been getting sharp stabbing pains during bowel movements and even at rest. Oxerutin isn't helping much. Should I get another colonoscopy to check on the hemorrhoids and SRUS or try natural remedies first? Also, is it safe to split the Oxerutin pill into thirds since I can't swallow it whole?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I'm dealing with this chronic pain under my left rib cage, and it seems to act up mostly when I sleep on my left side. The pain isn't unbearable, but it's happening quite frequently. I also feel like the area beneath my left and right rib cages don't feel the sameis this normal? I remember getting hit by a cricket ball there as a kid. Could that have something to do with it? What might be going on?

The chronic pain under your left rib cage, exacerbated by sleeping on your left side, could be related to a possible rib injury or fracture from the childhood cricket ball incident, leading to conditions like costochondritis, intercostal neuralgia, or rib tip syndrome; consult orthopaedician

I've been having some chest pain right in the center of my ribs, and it seems to come and go randomly, lasting just a few minutes each time. It's pretty weird because it also comes with these burps. It's not related to my workouts since I'm usually at the gym without any issues. What could be causing this?
