Can Anal Fissure Cause Pain, Itching, and Spasms?
I'm having anal fissure and spasm and it's very painful and itchy
Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 12th June '24
You tear the skin around your butt when you have an anal fissure. Passing a hard stool can do it or having the runs can too. This causes pain, itching, and spasms. To ease the discomfort, use creams or ointments. You should also try eating more fiber and drinking plenty of water so that your stool is soft.

I have piles . I want to help
Male | 18
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are enlarged veins located in the anus or rectum area. These swollen vessels may cause discomfort, irritation, and bleeding when having bowel movements. Excess pressure on the blood vessels results in piles forming. Contributing factors include difficulties passing stools, being overweight, or prolonged sitting periods. Preventing piles involves consuming fiber-rich foods, drinking adequate water regularly, and avoiding straining during bowel movements. Incorporating gentle exercises can also prove beneficial. If piles develop, over-the-counter ointments and creams offer relief temporarily. However, consulting a gastroenterologist regarding any concerning symptoms is advisable.

Hi, 45f, Caucasian. History family of cancer from father side (prostate) and liver (grandmother) Started developing GI symptoms 2 years ago. Main symptoms are pain/discomfort on the epigastric region, increased burping, nausea and loss of apetite and normal stools intercalated with mushy stools. Did several FBC, stool test for blood and HPylori, and US, all normal apart from uncomplicated gallstones. After being put on PPIs for 2 weeks I felt slightly better but the symptoms kept coming and going. Pushed for another GE appointment and had a Upper endoscopy done that revealed excessive bile in stomach and non working LES. Again was advised PPIs for 3 weeks and that's it. I keep on having on and off symptoms and had had another stool test that came back negative. I'm scared this is a gastric cancer, can you please advise? Thank you!

The symptoms you mentioned—such as pain, burping, nausea, and changes in appetite—can be caused by various conditions like gastritis or GERD. Excess bile in the stomach or a weak LES (lower esophageal sphincter) could be contributing to your discomfort. It's a relief that your tests have ruled out serious conditions like cancer. It’s important to monitor your symptoms and work with your doctor to manage them, possibly with medications like PPIs. Your gastroenterologist will continue to follow up if any issues persist.

Lower right abdominal pain
Male | 17
Lower right belly pain can come from many causes. Appendicitis, which involves a swollen appendix, is one possibility. It could also be due to constipation, gas, or a bladder infection. If you're experiencing nausea, fever, or loss of appetite, it's important to see a gastroenterologist. Treatment depends on identifying the correct cause, so it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis first.

Okay you can try a few remedies to find relief. Drink warm liquids like herbal teas or warm water with lemon to relax the stomach muscles. Avoid carbonated drinks and chewing gum as they can contribute to gas production.

stamach pain last 2 year
Male | 27
Two-year-long stomach pain is not normal and requires medical attention. Pain can be a result of many ailments like ulcers, acid reflux, or irritable bowel syndrome. When you have bloating, gas, and bowel habits change, these are some of the other symptoms. To discover the cause, tests like a blood test, stool test, or endoscopy may be required. The way of handling the situation will rest upon the source of the pain, e.g. drug therapy or changing the diet. You should visit a gastroenterologist to get a proper diagnostic test and treatment for the stomach pain.

I usually have bowel movements once per day. This remains the same yet on Sunday I saw bright red blood on the toilet paper after wiping my bottom. It took several wipes for the blood to clear away. Each wipe had marginally less blood. All in all I wiped away around two tablespoons of bright red blood. I checked my stool and the bright red blood was intermixed with the stool. It stained the inside of the toilet with bright red streaks of blood as it caught the inside edge of the toilet basin. Aside the blood in the stool, there was no other blood pooled at the bottom of the toilet water. This has happened each day since. There is only blood during bowel movement. I don't have constipation and don't need to strain to defecate. The stool is of a normal size, colour and consistency. Neither big nor hard to cause an anal fissure on exit. I have no pain, no constipation, no itchy bottom, no fatigue, no lightheadedness, no fever, no unintended weight loss. I am a man aged 40 with no other health complaints.

It may be because of hemorrhoids or anal fissure. But it is essential to differentiate them from other serious disease such as colorectal cancer. It would be recommended to you to see a gastroenterologist to have a deeper diagnosis and the best treatment plan.

Since few day I felt gas in my stomach. And today I don't know why but I get frequent urge to poop. In total till now i went for 5 times. The last I went my poop was red in colour and semi-solid(say as jelly).
Male | 21
The sensation of gas in the stomach and the frequent feeling of having to move the bowels are symptoms that can be caused due to several reasons. Defecation of red, jelly-like poop may indicate a bleed in your digestive system. This might be the result of the food you have consumed, the infection you might have, or it is the sign of a disease. It is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for proper treatment.

morning azithromycin 500 mg and night flagyl 400 can take
Male | 44
You're probably going through an infection. Your doctor is probably targeting different kinds of bacteria using azithromycin 500 mg in the morning and Flagyl 400 mg at night. Do not stop taking the medications even if you start feeling better. Prolong the treatment to ensure complete eradication of the infection. If you have any concerns or notice any unusual side effects, it's important to let your doctor know.

The pain in the lower and upper parts of your stomach, the belly enlargement, and the missed periods could be signs of a serious condition. These symptoms can be the result of different problems like hormonal imbalances, ovarian cysts, or even pregnancy.

i’m 16yo I’ve had the flu for 5 days now and my dr prescribed me with ibuprofen for my fever and headache but it caused me to develop an ulcer i got sudden stomach cramps like the type where you need to poo so i went to the bathroom my poo was red i did some research and i think it might be GI bleeding i’ve been to the bathroom 5 times since and every time there’s been blood every time i’m worried but my mom won’t take me to the hospital, she says we can go tomorrow
Female | 16
Red poop can be a symptom of bleeding in the digestive tract, which may be caused by the ulcer and ibuprofen. Stomach cramps and frequent visits to the bathroom are also the reasons for this. This requires immediate medical assistance for the diagnosis and treatment. It would be better if you refused to wait until tomorrow.

Not proper digestive system work , continue flow nose cough, acid reflux in stomach , not stomach properly clean washroom timing
Male | 24
Your stomach might act up, causing a runny nose, coughing, acid reflux, and irregular bathroom breaks. This could be from eating too fast, stress, or certain foods. Eat slowly, avoid spicy or greasy meals, and stay calm. Drink lots of water. Fruits and veggies help clean your stomach and make you feel better.

Male | 23
You may be experiencing indigestion, which can cause heaviness and pain in the stomach. This happens when your stomach has trouble digesting food. Common symptoms include a feeling of fullness and stomach bloating. To ease these symptoms, try eating smaller meals, avoid spicy or greasy foods, and stay upright after eating. If the symptoms persist, it's best to visit a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and advice.

Many reasons may cause bloody poop. A tear in the rectum or hemorrhoids are possible causes. Infections and inflammation in the intestines could also be the reason. Drink lots of fluids and eat fiber-rich, healthy foods. If it persists, visit a gastroenterologist to determine the exact reason.

I am 24 years female with anal fissure on and off for 1 month. I am on laxative, but when I stop the laxative my stools becomes hard and again tearing the anal region causing pain while pooping. After a treatment the pain becomes better. Is there any fiber supplement which will softens the stool and helps my fissure to heal
Female | 24
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.

I have jondies bilirubin count 1.42 any problem sir
Male | 36
A bilirubin count of 1.42 corresponds to a mild case of jaundice or icterus, which is due to bilirubin being increased in the blood. I would suggest that you go to a gastroenterologist for a more detailed analysis and treatment. It is important that you get medical treatment early to avoid the complications which may occur with this condition.

I’ve had constipation for six months and I have been using dulcolax every week to help, however this week when I used my dose, I felt nauseous and didn’t feel my normal budge in stool. I suspect I have impacted stool or some sort of blockage. I tried 2 enemas however after using them (lying on my left, inserting it for 5 minutes and staying still) it didn’t work. My main question is If I’m having impacted stool should I take miralax powder , dulcolax pills, or suppositaries, or a third enema Or book a colonic treatment? thank you
Male | 17
If you feel sick after taking Dulcolax you may need to try a different method. When stool is impacted it means that the poo has become stuck and will not come out very easily. Use Miralax powder which can help to soften it. You can mix it with a drink and take it according to the instructions on the packet. Make sure you also drink lots of water. If there is no change when using Miralax then you should speak to a healthcare professional for further advice.
