Hi Mimi,

It could also be an anal fissure. I suggest you go see a doctor.  (+ info)

what is the effect of extracring blood from the fistula or gortex?


what is the effect of extracting blood from the fistula or gortex? what is the legal implication of extracting blood from the fistula? Who will be held responsible for that incident?
----------

I THINK you're asking about using a dialysis fistula for blood draws.

This should only be done in an emergency. And then, if possible, with permission of a vascular surgeon or nephrologist.  (+ info)

What kind of laxative is better for cleaning out the system? Oral or Rectal?


What kind of laxative is better for cleaning out the system? Oral or Rectal?
I'm talking about the same brand from the same company...I'm comparing apples to apples.

Is either Oral or Rectal stronger then the other or are they EXACTLY the same? I believe that the Rectal ones will make you go to the bathroom within 30-45 mins while the oral ones can take up to 12 hours...

Besides the time difference, is there anything else I should know about?

Is either stronger?
----------

I haven't tried any rectal laxative, but I was told that it doesn't clean your intestines as much as oral laxative.  (+ info)

Is rectal bleeding only a symptom of problems with the bowel?


I have a suspected peptic ulcer. Could rectal bleeding have something to do with that? When the doctor did a rectal exam he didn't find anything wrong. But when I pass stools I find a little blood, even though I don't have any pain in the bowel area.
----------

If the blood is bright red then it is from the lower bowel. If it is black then it is from the upper bowel. Bright red blood could be anything from colon cancer to internal hemorrhoids. Sounds like its time to get a scope.  (+ info)

Has anyone had an operation to treat chronic mammary fistula?


Hey, just found out that I've got a chronic mammary fistula which is causing me a lot of pain. A LOT! lol. anyway, my specialist said that I need an operation for it, and that it will be done under general anasthetic, but they wont be able to stitch up the wound afterwards incase infection occurs. I was just wondering if anybody has had this operation before, how long the recovery was, and how painful it was? Any other information would be great too.
Thanks heaps!
----------

Haven't had the surgery, but you will probably have an open wound that you or a home health nurse will change a dressing on 1-2 times per day. I would think that this would last 1-2 weeks depending on how it heals. You will be given pain meds for after the surgery, I'm sure. You should take the meds as often as directed after the surgery & don't let yourself go until the pain is unbearable b/c then it will be harder to control. Get up, move around as soon as allowed, drink plenty of fluids, keep incision clean, etc These will all help the recovery process go smoothly

What do you know about superior semi-circular canal fistula? What is the best way to cure this disease?


A friend of mine suddenly experienced hearing loss after blowing his nose. Several days after, he experienced dizziness/vertigo. He consulted a doctor and this doctor requested for CT Scan- the result was normal. But another doctor (specialist) who examined his ct scan plates, found out that he has a fistula in his inner ear. MRI was also requested but again, results were normal. Is it possible that both examinations done to him can't reveal that he has a fistula? Until now my friend cannot work because of his condition. What are the chances that my friend would be able to hear again normally? Are there medications or if not, surgical procedure which can be performed to restore his hearing? Please help my friend...
----------

I'm not an expert on this, but I normally fistulas cannot be corrected without surgery. And inner ear surgery would be very difficult. If it is a fistula, he could just control the symptoms, not fix the problem. Get him to an ENT who can look at the CT and MRI and get a better diagnosis.  (+ info)

Is it sexual harassment to masturbate or gyrate during a rectal exam?


Just curious. I had a rectal exam this past week, and i became aroused by it to where I was gyrating (moving) my butt. I wanted to know what normally happens when a patient responds like this?
----------

No it just makes you look like an idiot.  (+ info)

When should someone get their first rectal?


I was wondering when should I get my first rectal exam? I dunno what to expect and I need some advise and what might happen at the exam. I tried to look it up but there's only like porn and stuff.
----------

Usually you're referred by your doctor to get a colonoscopy - and most often only for people at the age of 50, then it follows every 5-10 years after that. Unless of course there's a cause for concern and your doctor, like I said, refers you for another reason.

Hmm sorry, if you're male and you're talking about a rectal exam to test for prostate cancer - usually only men over 40.  (+ info)

How would a rectal exam assist doctors to determine if a spinal injury is present?


I read this story here:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080422/ap_on_re_us/unwanted_exam_5
and I am not a medical professional, so I can't figure out why a rectal exam would be helpful. Wouldn't an MRI or an X-Ray be more conclusive to ruling out any spinal column injury the construction worker may have sustained?
----------

The automatic reaction of the sphincter to digital contact will tell the doctor if the spinal cord has been damaged at a certain level. If the reaction is missing, there has been damage.  (+ info)

Do I have a fistula and what does one look like?


I have had a fistula a when i was a baby on my butt. I have a recurring pimple that won't go away on a different location on my behind. Is this a fistula?
----------

A fistula is an abnormal opening, for example you can have a fistula between the vagina and anus. A pimple is definitely not a fistula.  (+ info)
