My doctor said one side of my anal sphincter is too tight and prescribed meds, but mentioned surgery if it doesn't work. Are there other options besides surgery or any tips to help loosen it naturally?

Yes, there are options besides surgery to address a tight anal sphincter. Besides the medications your doctor prescribed, consider non-surgical interventions like Kegel exercises, biofeedback, and bowel training. Other treatments include botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, and in some cases, a sphincterotomy may be considered

I'm dealing with loose motions, nausea, and feeling a bit feverish since this morning. I had a chest X-ray yesterday which mentioned something about Prominent Hila, likely vessels. Could this X-ray finding be related to my stomach issues, or is it something separate? I'm curious to know your opinion on this.
