Why do only some people get anal fissures from occasional hard stool when everyone experiences it at least once? Is there something different about their anal structure? I've had LIS surgery but still worry can the tendency to develop fissures from hard stool be completely eliminated like it is for others?

View allI've been having some trouble with my anal area lately. It feels like it gets really tight and ends up hurting during bowel movements. It almost feels like the walls are tearing. What could be causing this, and how can I make it better?
The symptoms you're describing, including a narrowing of the anal opening, pain during bowel movements, and anal tears, suggest a possible diagnosis of anal stenosis or anal fissures; consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a thorough examination, which may include a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or colonoscopy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may involve topical creams, stool softeners, or surgical interventions.

I'm really worried because an ultrasound has shown that I have a 6mm gallbladder stone, and there's also an infection. I've been having really bad pain in my abdomen and feeling nauseous all the time. What do you think I should do about it? Is this something I need to urgently take care of, or are there ways to manage this without surgery?
I understand your concern, and I'm here to provide you with some reassurance and guidance. _Masturbation and Penis Size_ Masturbation, in itself, does not cause a decrease in penis size or width. However, frequent and aggressive masturbation can lead to: 1. _Desensitization_: Reduced sensitivity due to over-stimulation. 2. _Inflammation_: Mild inflammation or irritation, which can cause temporary swelling or changes in penis size. _Thinning and Shortening of the Penis_ The thinning and shortening you've observed could be due to various factors, such as: 1. _Normal fluctuations_: Penis size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, and overall health. 2. _Erectile dysfunction_: Infrequent or inconsistent erections can cause the penis to appear smaller. 3. _Peyronie's disease_: A condition characterized by the formation of scar tissue, leading to curvature or shortening of the penis. 4. _Other medical conditions_: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or hormone imbalances, can affect penis size. _What to Do_ To alleviate your concerns: 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with a urologist or a primary care physician to discuss your concerns and rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. _Reduce masturbation frequency_: Try to reduce your masturbation frequency to 2-3 times a week to give your penis time to recover. 3. _Practice gentle masturbation techniques_: Avoid aggressive or rough handling of your penis during masturbation. 4. _Maintain a healthy lifestyle_: Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management to promote overall health and well-being.
