Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son due to Chemo and Crohns is fighting severe anus rawness to the point he cant handle it anymore. in the hospital we used a morphine gel but it is not available as a prescription. We have used Lidocain and Zinc Oxide . He is in severe pain as hios bowel movements are stretching are that was so raw due to constant diarrhea. What can we do
As a first line management he can take laxatives like lactose which can smoothen his bowel movements and thus prevent straining for stools and thereby prevent pain. Do sitz bath and apply Nifecaine ointment which has got good results. If symptoms are severe better to consult a surgeon and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
