I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello

I understand—you have multiple soft lumps around the anus, increased slippery discharge, and air getting trapped. The fissure has healed but the discharge has worsened. Let me clarify a few things.

Important questions: 1. The soft lumps around the anus: - Are they painful, or just uncomfortable? - Do they itch? - What color are they—red, skin-colored, or purple? - Do they bleed when you wipe or pass stool? 2. The slippery substance: - What color is it—clear, white, yellow, or brownish? - Does it have an odor? - Is it constant throughout the day, or only at certain times? 3. Air getting trapped: - Does it cause pain, or just discomfort/embarrassment? - Does it come out on its own, or do you have to push? 4. Your bowel movements: - Do you have constipation, or are they normal? - Any blood or mucus in stool? - Any urgency or incomplete evacuation feeling? 5. Have you seen an allopathic doctor (not homeopathy) for this? A proper examination is needed to diagnose what these lumps are—they could be hemorrhoids, skin tags, or something else.

These symptoms need proper medical evaluation, not just homeopathy.

The most likely possibilities are:

1️⃣ Hemorrhoids (Piles)

Swollen veins around the anus can feel:

Soft or sponge-like

Like small lumps

Sometimes associated with mucus discharge

Can cause a feeling of incomplete emptying or trapped air

They may remain even after a fissure heals.

2️⃣ External skin tags

After a fissure heals, it can leave:

Extra soft skin folds around the anus

Usually painless

May trap moisture or mucus

3️⃣ Rectal mucosal prolapse (early stage)

If there is:

Excess mucus

Feeling of air or something stuck

Soft tissue protruding

This needs proper medical evaluation.

⚠️ Important: See a Doctor

You should now consult:

A General Surgeon, or

A Colorectal specialist (Proctologist)

They may do:

Physical examination

Possibly anoscopy (simple small scope exam)

This is much more effective than continuing homeopathy.

You said: There are many lumps around the anus which look soft like a sponge. When air enters the anus, it gets stuck in the anus. Earlier it used to happen every 2-1 days but now it is happening all the time. Oh, there was an anal fissure, there was a crack, now it is gone and it does not hurt, but the slippery substance has increased. I have taken many homeopathy before but it does not work, what should I do now?

ChatGPT said: I’m glad you asked. Based on what you’re describing, this sounds like a medical condition that needs proper examination by a doctor, especially since it’s now happening all the time.

From your symptoms:

Soft, sponge-like lumps around the anus

Air getting trapped

Increased slippery discharge (mucus)

History of anal fissure (now healed)

Homeopathy not helping

🚨 Go urgently if you have: Bleeding

Severe pain

Fever

Pus discharge

Sudden swelling

What You Can Do Now (Until You See a Doctor) ✅ Improve bowel habits Drink 2.5–3 liters of water daily

Eat high-fiber foods (vegetables, fruits, oats)

Avoid straining during stool

Do not sit long on the toilet

✅ Sitz bath Sit in warm water for 10–15 minutes, 2 times daily

Helps reduce swelling and irritation

❌ Avoid: Frequent wiping with dry tissue (use water)

Applying random creams without diagnosis

Continuing ineffective treatments

Thank you

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello ji

Soft, multiple bumps around the anus with constant moisture or slippery discharge can be caused by hemorrhoids (piles), anal skin tags, or sometimes anal warts.

Since it’s persistent and increasing, homeopathy not helping → you should see a general surgeon or proctologist for an examination.

What to do now: 🛑🛑Keep the area clean and dry 🛑🛑Warm sitz bath (10–15 min, 2× daily) Avoid constipation (fiber + water) Don’t self-medicate without diagnosis

Seek medical care soon to confirm the cause and get proper treatment.

I trust this helps Thank you ji Take care

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.
