Know How an iCliniq Gastroenterologist Helped a Patient With Simple Steps

A female patient suffering from pain while passing stools for five days contacted a medical gastroenterologist on iCliniq.com. She knew the problem was internal hemorrhoids and anal fissures, as she had them when she was pregnant three years ago. She was experiencing intense pain while passing stool because the stool was very hard every morning. The pain was so excruciating that she had to sit in a tub of hot water for 15 minutes for some relief. She also noticed severe swelling around the anus, which hurt even while passing gas. She mentioned that when she had piles during pregnancy, she had severe constipation and did not pass stool for eight days and then got hospitalized. She only had a bowel movement after the doctor gave her some medicines and injections. She had no problems after that, but now again, she was experiencing constipation and anal pain. She wanted our doctor to suggest drugs to make the stool loose and cause minimal pain during defecation. As her stools were hard, she felt the fissures did not get enough time to heal, and the hard stools scratched and injured the anus.

Our doctor agreed that she was suffering from anal fissures. He asked the patient to follow three simple steps to get rid of anal fissures. First was to control her diet by avoiding all foods that cause constipation, such as bread, cheese, baked foods, chocolates, etc. Having around 3 liters of water daily and consuming more vegetables. He asked her not to strain to pass stools and suggested taking a laxative. He also suggested an analgesic cream to be applied over the painful areas in the anus three times a day. Our doctor asked her to do this for five days and then follow-up.

After five days, the patient messaged the doctor, saying that she was feeling much better and was no longer constipated. She was glad that iCliniq’s doctor addressed all her problems, and the suggested treatment worked effectively. She was pleased with iCliniq’s services and said that she would recommend it to other people.
