Exercising with an Anal Fissure _Possible Benefits_ 1. _Increased blood flow_: Exercise can improve blood circulation, promoting healing and reducing pain. 2. _Relaxation and stress relief_: Regular physical activity can help manage stress, which may contribute to anal fissure symptoms. _Precautions and Considerations_ 1. _Avoid exacerbating activities_: Steer clear of exercises that may worsen the fissure, such as: - Heavy lifting or bending - High-impact activities (e.g., running, jumping) - Exercises that put direct pressure on the anal area (e.g., squats, lunges) 2. _Choose low-impact exercises_: Opt for low-impact activities that promote relaxation and don't exacerbate the fissure: - Yoga - Swimming - Cycling - Brisk walking 3. _Listen to your body_: If you experience increased pain or discomfort during or after exercise, stop immediately and consult your doctor. _Consult Your Doctor_ Before resuming exercise, consult your doctor to: 1. _Assess fissure severity_: Determine the extent of the fissure and any potential complications. 2. _Discuss safe exercises_: Get personalized guidance on exercises that are safe for your condition. 3. _Develop a treatment plan_: Work with your doctor to create a comprehensive treatment plan, including exercise, diet, and medication (if necessary).

Since your pregnancy tests are negative, it is less likely to be related to pregnancy. I recommend you to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. You may need a pelvic examination and some tests to determine the cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, you can try using over-the-counter antifungal medication like Clotrimazole (such as Canesten) for possible yeast infection.

Sounds like your girlfriend may be experiencing symptoms of early pregnancy. The stomach cramps, lower back pain, headache, nausea, and vomiting are common symptoms during the early stages of pregnancy. For nausea and vomiting, she can take Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 25mg three times a day. For stomach cramps and lower back pain, she can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. It is important for her to stay hydrated and eat small, frequent meals to help with the symptoms. I recommend consulting with an obstetrician for further evaluation and management of her pregnancy.
