I've noticed something strange with my stomach. When I'm sitting down, I can press on it and it feels completely normal, but as soon as I stand up, it feels a lot harder and I can't really press it in the same way. Is this something I should be worried about or is it normal?

I'm 45 years old and dealing with piles issues right now. My doctor mentioned trying Hilo tablets. Can you explain how these tablets work for piles? I'm just trying to understand how they'll help with my condition.

Hilo tablets, containing Daflon (diosmin and hesperidin), work by improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and strengthening blood vessels, which helps alleviate piles symptoms such as pain, itching, and bleeding by reducing swelling and promoting healing of the affected veins.

I'm experiencing quite a bit of pain when I pass stool and even when I'm sitting. It feels like it might be related to piles or possibly a fissure. On top of that, I have a lot of issues with gas. Could all these symptoms be connected, and what should I do to feel better?

It must be A Fissure. You can try conservative treatment for some time. If not relieved, surgery will be required. See that you do not have constipation. Stools should be soft. You can take Cremaffin Pink at night after dinner for that. Before passing stools & after that apply Anovate ointment around the fissure.
