hi, my father aged 62 has bouts of severe abdominal pain, chronic d
ysentry and gas and acidity. he stays well on a liquid diet but on eating anything solid, he starts having acidity and pain around the navel. a colonoscopy has revealed a pulsating lesion 20 cms above the anus partially blocking the sigmoid colon. He also feels severe pain from piles during defecation. please sugest the course of treatment
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were his doctor, I would prescribe him with a proton pump inhibitor along with a probiotic drug for his acidity problem. For the pain during defeacation, I would advise him for regular sitz baths, an anti hemorrhoial cream containing lignocaine and diltiazem. On the finding of the colonoscopy, I would refer him to a gastro enterological surgeon for opinion and needful.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your father's problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
