Itching around the anal area can arise from several factors, such as irritation, hygiene issues, or skin conditions. Common causes include moisture, soaps, or even dietary influences. To alleviate discomfort, keep the area clean and dry, avoiding harsh soaps. Applying a soothing cream may also help. However, if the itching persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms like bleeding or swelling, it’s important to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.

I was wondering what to do about my medical situation: I’ve been experiencing few weeks: -Anal discomfort from constipation -bowel leakage - anal itchiness for a due to Background: I had a loop colostomy put in the descending colon but what it seems To me is that some stool bypassed the colostomy and got to the area in the rectum that is damaged, and so its just staying inside the rectum, I can’t seem to have a bowel movement because of the damage in that area and I can’t seem to get it out. because of having the colostomy, I know there isn’t a serious problem like a blockage. but I’m feeling really uncomfortable due to the the leakages and itchiness at the anal area. From past experience Enemas and laxatives and suppositories haven’t been helpful with my constipation. What can I do?
Female | 27
It seems that you have encountered some abnormal complications related to your colostomy or you are constipated. Your anal discomfort and the smell and itchiness are occurring due to the feces that have collected in the damaged area in your rectum. That can occur when the stool makes an unplanned detour. In view of the fact that classical treatments such as enemas and laxatives are of no help; it is time to speak to your care provider for other possible options, like diet modification, stool softeners, or special procedures.

I am 38 yrs old women suffering with rectal pain. I got treatment for fissure 6 month back and about 2 month i took different medicines for the same. I am still having pain in my anal region and unable to sit in one position as its pain all the time. Visited so many doctors but still the situation is same.
Female | 38
Anal pain is chronic and can be due to unhealed fissures, inflammation, or muscle tension. This is why you must keep the anal area clean and well-hydrated. Have a trial with over-the-counter medications. These might ease your symptoms, but if they persist, I encourage you to go to a gynecologist and get a detailed evaluation.

I got diagnosed with the flu last night and today I’ve been having nausea and diarrhea. Is this normal or should I go back to the doctor?
Female | 19
The flu virus can impact digestion, causing nausea and loose stools. Along with fever and coughing fits. To recover, rest up, stay hydrated, keep foods light. But if symptoms worsen alarmingly, reach out to your doctor promptly. They'll advise next steps for feeling better soon.

I tried the FODMAP diet but some of the food they recommend have caused the issues. So I asked Dr. if they could arrange a test for food intolerant test. I was there is not one.
Male | 59
According to your symptoms of bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach pain after consuming the leftovers you most likely have cases of food poison or intolerance. Generally, it is better to seek advice from a specialist and undergo testing in order to determine the root of your symptoms. In the meantime, follow simple diet

I have a huge tummy pain and it hurts a lotl
Male | 21
The tummy ache can be tough to manage. The hurt you feel in your stomach might be from many things such as eating something that didn’t agree with you, having gas, or having a tummy bug. It is a good idea to have lots of drinks and stay in bed. Eating plain foods like bread or rice may also help. If you don’t start to feel better or it gets worse then make sure to go and see a gastroenterologist about it.

I am 19 years old … I see blood in my stool … started 2020 I took enterogermina 2020,then December 2021 took tinizol and doxycycline 2021 and I was given Clarthrime and Bonso pile tablet January 2024 but a doctor changed it and told me to take ciprotab instead but today I happened to see blood again I am constipated , I take milk a lot , and I always have bad cramps so I take ibuprofen every month but not more than 2 a month
Female | 19
I recommend seeking medical attention from a gastroenterologist to properly evaluate the cause of the bleeding and develop a treatment plan. Not recommended to self-treat without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to antibiotic resistance and may not address the issue. Additionally taking ibuprofen frequently for menstrual cramps can also lead to gastrointestinal problems.

Male | 21
Alcohol can harm people and be sometimes dangerous because drinking too much will make your body spin. If you drank too much but are now okay, that's good news. But, sometimes too much drinking can cause things like a spinning mind, nausea, and feeling sick. Don't forget to drink water, take a break, and eat healthy foods to help your body recover.

I am 15 years old girl. I took norix1 pill today at 5:05 pm but vomited at 08:03. Do I need to take another pill now?
Female | 15
If the drug has been thrown up within a few hours of its intake, it might not have been fully absorbed into your system. Under such circumstances, it is generally advised to see a doctor to find out if you need to take another dose. One should be very careful as it is risky to take an extra dose of the drug without the proper instructions. You should also note down any other symptoms that might be associated and, when you visit the physician, get the time-appropriate advice.

Mujhe koyela khana pasand hai or ab lat lag gyi hai mujhe chodna hai m chod nhi paa rhi hu aap koi suggestion dijiy please help kre
Female | 19
What the doctor is saying sounds like there is a problem with passing stool which can be caused if you eat coal. This in turn can cause constipation. Positively, eating more fiber can be of great help in this case. Reject the idea of eating coal and instead drink a lot of water. Eating fiber like fruits and veggies can also help. If the issue persists, go to a gastroenterologist.

Feeling a burning or cramping sensation in your lower abdomen is unpleasant and can be symptomatic of a variety of conditions.

Male | 19
Mild enlargement of the liver and spleen, without any focal lesions, can have various causes and may not necessarily indicate a serious disease like colon cancer. Conditions like fatty liver disease, viral infections, inflammation, etc. can be associated with the swelling of these organs.
A proper diagnosis can only be made by a healthcare professional like a gastroenterologist after considering your complete medical history.

Experiencing involuntary loss of stool or urine can be concerning. Various factors may contribute, such as stress, dietary choices, or even anxiety. It's important to assess your habits, including fluid intake and any recent lifestyle changes. Practicing regular bathroom routines and pelvic floor exercises may help strengthen control. However, I strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can offer personalized guidance and ensure there are no underlying issues.

I’m wondering what is wrong with me or if I should go to the ER or make an appointment I’ve been having real bad pain on my left lower abdomen hurts when applying pressure to abdomen with stretching sometimes walking and flexing
Female | 26
A condition you seem likely to have is appendicitis. Your appendix is inflamed. The symptoms: stabbing agony in your lower tummy, mostly on the left, getting worse when you apply hand pressure, bend, walk around, or flex your body. If you experience these signs, head straight to the emergency room, immediately. Appendicitis generally needs surgical removal of the appendix to stop dangerous complications from arising.
