Patient's Query

After a treatment the pain becomes better. Is there any fiber supplement which will softens the stool and helps my fissure to heal

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

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 am a 18 year old female I have gerd and every morning I've been puking and I wanna know how I can get it to stop?

Female | 18

GERD, short for gastroesophageal reflux disease, can bring on such symptoms as morning sickness and the desire to vomit. This occurs when stomach acid returns to the esophagus. To bring down this, you can eat smaller meals, avoid spicy or acidic foods, don't lie down right after eating, and raise the head of your bed. These calming measures can assist you in decreasing your complaints and make you feel better.

The stress from work and the pressure to perform can really take a toll on our mental health. It's no wonder you're feeling overwhelmed. Depression and schizophrenia are serious conditions that can be influenced by a variety of factors, including stress, genetic predisposition, and life events. Seeking help from a psychiatrist  was a good first step. The medication he prescribed, olanzapine, is commonly used to manage symptoms of schizophrenia. However, it can sometimes cause mood swings as a side effect. It's crucial to communicate openly with psychiatrist about these side effects so he can adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Dealing with stomach issues like ulcers and GERD on top of everything else must be incredibly challenging. Pantoprazole is a standard treatment for these conditions, but it's essential to follow up with your gastroenterologist regularly to ensure it's effectively managing your symptoms. In terms of your current job situation at SBI, it sounds like the demands are adding to your stress levels. It might be helpful to have an open conversation with your manager about how you're feeling. Exploring stress management techniques, like mindfulness or exercise, could also be beneficial.

Female | 24

A common cold can make you lose your appetite. Typical cold symptoms include a runny or blocked nose, mucus in your throat, and nausea. To improve your appetite, drink plenty of fluids, stay hydrated, and eat light, easy-to-digest foods like soups, fruits, and yogurt. Give yourself time to recover and rest. If your symptoms don't improve or get worse, contact your doctor for further advice.
