What is probably happening is you have an anal fissure, which is a small split in the skin around the anus. The pain that occurs during bowel movements is the main symptom. Hard stools can make it worse. Fiber supplements like psyllium husk or methylcellulose may help you ease your bowel movements which are the reason for the hard stools. Also drinking plenty of water is very good for your digestion.

Female | 46
It's appears to be symptoms of GERD to me, but we need to rule out heart problem first by doing ECG and ECHO and getting a cardiologist opinion. If there's no cardiac element, then gastric evaluation is needed. For cardiologists you can refer this page - Cardiologist in India.

I was having stomach problems around last week or so and it came with frequent stooling and about a couple of days ago it stopped but my anus has been in pains since then and it seems like something is swelling I have a picture if you’d need one I’m suspecting it’s pile but I just need an expert’s opinion on it and what medication I can use Thank you
Male | 18
It's understandable to be concerned about your symptoms, which may suggest the presence of hemorrhoids, especially after recent bowel issues. Pain and swelling in the anal area can occur due to straining or irritation. It's important to maintain a high-fiber diet, stay hydrated, and consider over-the-counter treatments like creams or suppositories designed for hemorrhoid relief. However, seeing a gastroenterologist is advisable for a thorough examination and tailored treatment.

I’m a 22 year old woman and I’m always feeling pain in my upper belly
Female | 22
You might be having some stomach problems. The pain you get in your upper belly probably means that you are suffering from stuff like heartburn or indigestion. These are the moments when the stomach's digestive acids harass the lining of the stomach or esophagus and damage happens. Try eating small amounts and not eating spicy or fatty foods. If the pain continues or gets worse, visit a gastroenterologist.

Like irregular periods last year I've even cured it because my periods wasn't stopping.. for like 20 days.. then i took some medicines as prescribed by the doctor but still I got so many problems every month but I didn't take it seriously also last month I got period crams which was unbearable nd heavy bleeding.

I took medicines tried eating sizzling food but still my cough isn't going away i don't know what's going on with me..
Female | 17
Fatty liver affects digestion and menstrual cycles; it might also lower immunity thus causing recurrent infections. However, blood should never appear in stool nor should periods be irregular, without raising concerns you require immediate medical attention. Additionally, a cough that has lasted for 15 days could signify either an infection or inflammation in the respiratory system. These matters need to be handled urgently so as not to complicate things further. I would advise you to seek medical help from a gastroenterologist.

I am a 18 year old female I have gerd and every morning I've been puking and I wanna know how I can get it to stop?
Female | 18
GERD, short for gastroesophageal reflux disease, can bring on such symptoms as morning sickness and the desire to vomit. This occurs when stomach acid returns to the esophagus. To bring down this, you can eat smaller meals, avoid spicy or acidic foods, don't lie down right after eating, and raise the head of your bed. These calming measures can assist you in decreasing your complaints and make you feel better.

I can't eat because of side effects of previous medicine
Male | 23
Feeling queasy after taking medicine can be tough. Meds sometimes cause side effects like no appetite, nausea, or tummy ache. They can bother your stomach lining. Eat tiny bland meals and pause between bites. Ginger tea may help calm things too. If worried about meds, let your doctor know. They can guide what's best.

Female | Keerthi
This may be a consequence of gastritis, a stomach problem, but the other options still need to be examined. The pain coming back could mean that there is something else going on. Your heart and lungs also need to be considered. It is imperative to see a gastroenterologist for them to ask more inquiries, do an examination, and even run some tests to determine the source of the pain

Chronic trouble with bowel movements accompanied by blood can stem from various issues, including dietary choices, inflammation, or structural problems in the digestive tract. It's crucial to remain hydrated, consume a fiber-rich diet, and consider regular exercise to support regularity. Over-the-counter supplements may help, but it's important to keep track of all symptoms. Given the persistent nature of your condition, I strongly recommend consulting a gastroenterologist who can provide tailored diagnostics and treatment options.
