What Causes Pain While Defecating?
i have difficulty in stools and it pains a lot. I think i might have had this due to eating spicy food on this week end. i remember my doctor prescribe Metrogyl 400 last time some years ago when i experience a similar discomfort and it worked. I would like to know what is the dosage i need to take? i am 42 years old, 91 kgs weight and i am a kidney donor.
