Question 1

i have hemorrhoids anal fissures  gastroenterologist gave me ointment symptoms keep returning do i get surgery? i have soft stool have appt wednesday

Accepted Answer

Wait for appointment: Conservative treatment is usually preferred for these issues as there is no guarantee that surgery will make everything rosy.  I'd wait to see what your GI doctor says on Weds.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

See a surgeon: If you have both hemorrhoids and fissures, these can be treated simultaneously at the time of surgery.

Question 5

i have hemorrhoids anal fissures i have banding this month it takes me an hour for soft bowel movement to finish how would a doc fix bowel?

Accepted Answer

Treat fissure: Fissure needs to be treated too. Banding will not resolve that. See a contextual surgeon.

Question 6

when i make a bowel movement it takes 2 hours stool is soft not constipated have hemorrhoids anal fissures how will doc fix bowel movement?

Accepted Answer

Bowel movements: 2 hours is too long to complete defecation.  I would see a gastroenterologist who can perform a number of tests to evaluate the motility abnormality.  There are a number of medications which impair motility and it is possible that you have a condition that is inherited that causes the lack of motility of your large intestine.  Definitely seek consultation from a board certified gastroenterologist.

Question 7

how do i know if i have a hemorrhoid, or anal fissure?

Accepted Answer

Have it evaluated: I suppose if you were a contortionist and had a mirror you might figure this out by looking. However, spotting a fissure would not rule out having a hemorrhoid internally that could be your main problem.Having you doc or a GI doc do a formal anoscopy (look at and up your anus) would sort this out. If you just have minor itching down there, local application of emollients like coco butter can help.

Question 8

whats the best way to relieve pain for a hemorrhoid or anal fissure?

Accepted Answer

Many: Warm sitz baths help.  Witch hazel soaked cotton balls plastered to the anal area helps.  Otc meds like preparation h helps.  Keeping the bowel soft helps.  Avoiding constipation or diarrhea helps.  Anal fissures may need prescription meds and or surgery for treatment.  Hemorrhoids usually are self limited but may need opening or surgery.  See pcp or surgeon for eval.

Question 9
