Why do I feel like pooping but nothing comes out?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It can be because of lack of fibre in diet and some intestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Try to include high fiber foods such as Pears, strawberries, apple, oat meal, brown rice, banana, broccoli, green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), avocado, carrots, tomato, beans and sweet potato in diet and take plenty of fluids.If issue still persist then consult a doctor.

I've had an anal fissure for a couple of years and currently manage it with a diet low in non-veg and more fruits like apples and guavas. Is surgery unavoidable in the long run? I really want to control it naturally what would you suggest?

While a naturally managed approach to anal fissures is great, surgery isn't always unavoidable and depends on the severity and duration of the fissure. A good diet, hydration, and regular exercise can often help, but chronic or non-responsive fissures might require further treatment, including surgery.

I'm really worried about my friend. They're dealing with a lot of vomiting and loose motion. They've been given some medicine but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Is there any more effective medicine that you would suggest?

It sounds like your friend is dealing with a severe stomach issue. If the prescribed medicines aren't working, it's important for them to revisit their doctor, as it could be a sign of an underlying infection or condition that requires a different approach. In some cases, probiotics or a more specific treatment might be needed.
