It is not persistent, it comes and go...whenever it happens, it last for around 4-5 days and it goes...and again it happens... Consulted Gastroenterology, on first instance he gave me Nexpro 40, and told me to do 3 tests- 1) XRay Abdomen 2) USG Abdomen 3) Endoscopy with Biopsy I have done above 2 test Xray and USG Abdomen which came  Normal.

Bowel movement disorder

My brother is 28 years old and has been having epileptic seizures. After starting the medications prescribed—Clobazam 10 mg and Topiramate 100 mg—his seizures have stopped However, he’s now experiencing some serious side effects. He feels very drowsy all the time, almost like he's intoxicated. He stays sleepy, sluggish, and his body has become weak and very thin. The biggest concern right now is that he hasn't been able to pass stool properly for the past Month. He can’t sit for a bowel movement, and it's coming out very slowly on its own. This is causing him a lot of discomfort. ??

Fistulectomy surgery wound

My husband has undergone fistulectomy on April 17 2025 . Most of his surgical wounds have got healed  but a small area is still not healed. There is not much pain in that area but a little yellowish fluid is there in that area . I think that might be because of sweat.. After 15 days of surgery we went for a review the doc gave genticyn injection for 5 days he took that also. Even after that, the wound is still there and there is not much improvement. Can you please prescribe some ointment which can help to fasten the curing process.
