I've been dealing with shortness of breath and acidity for about a week now. I saw a doctor who suggested Ranitidine, Diclofenac, and Ciprofloxacin. The meds help, but the symptoms seem to come back pretty quickly. Should I keep taking these meds? How long should I be on them, and do you think I need to get some tests done?

I'm a female in my late teens and I've been having this weird thing lately, like for over a week now. My stomach's making all these gurgling sounds, and I've got some persistent digestive noises going on. On top of that, my hip area and lower back are feeling sore. I'm getting a bit worried about it. Do you think I should be concerned? Any idea what might be causing this?

I'm a bit worried because I had an endoscopy biopsy about 32 hours ago, and now the color of the pylo dry has turned pink. Should I be concerned about this change? Does it mean the biopsy might be positive?

I'm a 34-year-old guy dealing with these annoying anal fissures for about 5 years now, and they seem to keep coming back. It's been happening since 2011, and when they appear, the pain is just unbearable. I've been following the doctor's advice more fiber, stool softeners, using Lox 2 jelly, and taking sitz baths. They heal only to reappear like every 2-3 months, especially after episodes of very soft or hard stools. There's this fleshy part around my anus that sticks out, which I think makes things worse. A couple of months ago, I had a sigmoidoscopy, and while everything seemed normal, they did find a small fissure and small piles. The doc just said to keep on with the Lox 2 jelly and add some AnoBliss too. I'm wondering if there's a way to heal these fissures permanently without surgery. Is it alright to keep using Lox 2 jelly every time I go to the bathroom? And, are these recurring fissures something that could potentially lead to rectal or anal cancer?

for permanent cure surgery is the choice ,there is less chances it turns into cancer
