Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

It has been two days that I am feeling some irritation around anus. Today, I noticed some small lumps that are tender to touch and causing mild irritation regularly. Apart from that I have upset stomach and I am getting semi-solid motion. A month back, I had a stone in the urinary tract, which came out of its own and I have been taking Cystone two or one tablet twice a day. In the past, I had balanitis, which happened due to taking Ofloxin and Ornidazole. I am 6 feet height and 86 kg weight.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on the picture you provided, it appears that you have recurrent anal fissures, which can be seen as a tear. This condition can be very painful. I would like to gather some additional information. Firstly, do you have a family history of colon cancer? Secondly, have you undergone a colonoscopy? Additionally, if you have a complete blood count report, please upload it.

Based on your condition, the following treatment plan is suggested:

1. Apply 0.2% to 0.4% Nitroglycerin cream twice daily for a period of six weeks.

2. If your stools are soft, then that is favorable. However, since you mentioned having semi-solid stools, it is recommended to add fiber to your diet.

3. You can try consuming Isabgol husk, one teaspoon every morning with warm water.

4. It is important to avoid straining during bowel movements, as it can worsen the tears.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
