my doctor said I have an old healed fissure and surgery isn't needed but I'm not sure what that really means does it still cause problems or is it completely fine now
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to be unsure when a doctor advises against surgery. While surgery is often a last resort for chronic anal fissures, most cases can be managed with conservative treatments like lifestyle changes and medications.

View allI've been dealing with this itching around my anus that just won't go away, even though I try to keep everything super clean and dry. It's been a few months now, and while using mustard oil gives me some relief, it only works for a little bit. What could it be, and how can I get rid of it for good?
Fading Pregnancy Test Line _Possible Interpretations_ 1. *Declining hCG levels*: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is the hormone detected by pregnancy tests. A fading line might indicate decreasing hCG levels, which could be a sign of: - Miscarriage or impending miscarriage - Ectopic pregnancy - Miscalculated gestational age 2. *Diluted urine*: If your urine is more diluted when taking the second test, it might affect the test's sensitivity, resulting in a lighter line. 3. *Test sensitivity*: Different pregnancy tests have varying sensitivities. A less sensitive test might produce a lighter line. _Next Steps_ 1. *Schedule an ultrasound*: Book an ultrasound appointment with your healthcare provider to confirm the pregnancy and check for any potential issues. 2. *Repeat the test with a more sensitive test*: Try using a more sensitive pregnancy test to see if the line appears darker. 3. *Consult your healthcare provider*: Discuss your concerns and test results with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

Yes, surgical options are available in India for severe gastroparesis, but they are generally considered as a last resort after other treatments have failed. The most common surgical procedures include jejunostomy tube placement, gastric venting tube placement, and in severe cases, even a gastrectomy.
