Medical science has advanced significantly, offering effective treatments for even the most complicated diseases. Among these, lower gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are particularly complex. Gastrointestinal bleeding, for example, can occur anywhere along the digestive tract, from the stomach to the anus. This bleeding can be acute and severe or chronic and less intense but may persist for years.

In an interview with Anandabazar Online, Dr. Atindriya Biswas, Surgical Consultant and General and Gastrointestinal Surgeon at HP Ghosh Hospital, stated, “Many people are still quite fearful of rectal diseases such as piles, fistulas, fissures, and cancer. However, these conditions can be completely cured if treated promptly. Conditions like piles, fistulas, or fissures often require surgery. Therefore, if you notice bleeding from the anus or experience any discomfort at an early stage, it is crucial to consult a doctor immediately."

Dr. Biswas also highlighted that “the most serious condition associated with lower GI symptoms is cancer. Early-stage cancer has several subtle symptoms that require special attention.”
