Can constipation cause stomach and back pain in a person undergoing an ayurvedic treatment for fissures?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have fissures, and I am undergoing ayurvedic treatment for the same. But now I sometimes experience belly pain and back pain, especially at night. I cannot eat food properly, and I have the urge to vomit. The Ayurveda doctor told me it was due to constipation. So please suggest me a good treatment for this.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

In my opinion, get a proctoscopy anal examination in which a rectal examination will also be done. So the doctor will also confirm the fissure and assess the severity. You might need to undergo surgery for fissures. Due to constipation and inflammation, vomiting can occur. For that, you can take stool softeners like laxatives. However, I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below,

1. Avoid straining while emptying bowels.

2. Drink more water.

3. Avoid excess spicy foods.

4. For vomiting, the tablet Domperidone (dopamine antagonist) can be taken.

However, I suggest you to consult a surgeon or a gastroenterologist for further examination and treatment.

I hope this will help you out.

Take care.
