Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have suffered with piles/anal fissures (not sure with which one of the two for the last 5 years). Every fifteen days I have used Annovate and sitz bath to relieve me of recurring pricking pain. I am not sure if I am to continue with Annovate. It was prescribed for a limited period once in the beginning, and I have been continuing to use it since then. Basically, self medicating. I am concerned now and not sure what I should do next. Please guide me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Well, I can understand that you must be very concerned about your problem, but taking Anovate which is a Baclomethasone considering diagnosis in disguise; is not a wise decision otherwise. I must suggest you to get your self examind with a gastroneterolgist or a general surgeon by digital rectal examination and a proctoscopic examination. The proctoscopic examination includes a device assisted vision of the rectim and anal canal. This will not only find the cause of your pain but also stage or grade the severity of the problem.

Meanwhile you can use Diltiazem gel 4 to 6 hourly on days when you have pain. You can also use Xylocain gel 2 % four to six hourly on days of pain. Let me know if you have any other relevant information which might help me to diagnose your case, or if you can upload a picture of the anal area that can help us to reach to diagnosis.

The Probable causes

Chronic anal fissure sentinal pile Acute anal fissure Defecatory disorder Proctoalgia fugax

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