For a sliding hiatal hernia with associated acid reflux, surgery is not always necessary. Many individuals can effectively manage their symptoms with medication and lifestyle changes. Surgery is typically reserved for cases where other treatments have failed or complications arise, particularly if the hernia is large or causes severe symptoms

I'm feeling a really sharp pinching pain right when I start to have a bowel movement. I've dealt with constipation before, but this pain is new to meand it first happened even when I wasnt constipated. There's no medication I'm taking that could explain this. Any ideas on what might be going on?

I've had a chronic anal fissure for the past 11 months that keeps coming back whenever I pass hard stool, even though it heals sometimes with laxatives. The doctor said it's an anterior fissure. Is there any way to heal this completely without surgery? I really want to avoid surgery but it keeps recurring when I stop laxatives
