Question

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

Question

I've been having a lot of trouble with acidity every night around midnight, right at 24 am. It's been so hard for me to get any sleep after it happens. I always thought I was eating a normal and balanced diet, so I'm puzzled why this keeps happening. Do you have any advice on how I can stop this acidity or maybe some solutions for getting rid of it completely?
