He also feels severe pain from piles during defecation. please sugest the course of treatment
Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were his doctor, I would prescribe him with a proton pump inhibitor along with a probiotic Chat Doctor.  For the pain during defecation, I would advise him for regular site baths, an anti hemorrhoidal cream containing lidocaine and diltiazem. On the finding of the colonoscopy, I would refer him to a gastroenterological surgeon for opinion and needful. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your fathers' problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
