Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For the past while now I have been experiencing bad constipation and ended up getting a kind of anal tear which made it difficult to pass at all. I have attempted to increase my fiber intake but more recently the anus has more or less completely swollen up to the stage that it’s difficult to go to the bathroom at all. I was hoping you’d be able to help me
