My stool is hard and I've had constipation for 6 months. An ayurvedic doctor said it's 2nd degree and doesn't need surgery, but I'm looking for a permanent fix. I'm currently on ayurvedic meds but heard about kshar sutra therapy does it work permanently and what's the cost? Any advice would help

View allI discovered a blood-red worm in my stool and I'm feeling quite worried about it. I'm currently anemic and taking iron syrup as prescribed, but I'm not on any other medication. Could the worm be related to my anemia or the iron syrup? What steps should I take to address this?
Based on your blood report, here are some observations: _Low White Blood Cell (WBC) Count_ 1. _Leucopenia_: Your total WBC count is low (3.83), which can indicate a weakened immune system. 2. _Neutropenia_: Your neutrophil percentage (34.9%) and absolute count (1.34) are low, which can increase the risk of infections. _Other Observations_ 1. _Lymphocytosis_: Your lymphocyte percentage (56.7%) is elevated, which can indicate a viral or bacterial infection. 2. _Anemia_: Your RBC count (5.57) is high, but your MCV, MCH, and MCHC values indicate microcytic anemia. _Typhoid Possibility_ 1. _Fever and throat symptoms_: Your recent fever and persistent throat mucus could be indicative of a bacterial infection like typhoid. 2. _Blood report_: While your blood report doesn't conclusively diagnose typhoid, the low WBC count, neutropenia, and lymphocytosis could be consistent with a typhoid infection.

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
