I've been having this burning sensation around the outer part of my anus for about a month now, and it's been incredibly painful, especially when I go to the toilet. I'm really worried about what could be causing this and how to make it stop. What do you think I should do?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach problems for the last two months, like cramps, abdominal pain, weird motions, mild fever, red eyes, and headaches. I first saw one gastro doctor who thought it was an infection and gave me some medications like Zifi, Satrogyl, and Nizonide. He wanted me to do a bunch of tests like colonoscopy, endoscopy, biopsy, CT scans, and blood tests. I went to another senior gastro in Noida, and he said it's IBS and no need for all those tests. But then after his 10-day course, the issues came back, and he also blamed another infection. Now, it's been about 20 days since my stomach has been better, and I'm taking Menoctyl, Enzar Forte, and Vizylac. What's really bothering me is that I've lost 8-9 kg of weight despite eating enough lately, and my weight isn't going up. Is this normal? Should I stick with the same gastro since I'm finally feeling some relief? The weight loss is freaking me out a bit.

Question

I'm really worried because I've been having vomiting and loose motion for a few days now, and the medicine my doctor gave me for gas and vomiting just isn't working. I'm starting to feel some pain in my abdomen too, and my heart rate seems faster than normal. What should I do about all this?

Question

I've been dealing with some bilirubin level issues and it's got me a bit worried. So, around 40 days ago, my bilirubin was at 2.27 and my doctor put me on Udiliv 300mg for 10 days. Thankfully, all the HAV, HCV, and HBs tests came back negative. After a week of the meds, my levels dropped to 1.4, which was great. I kept taking the meds till September 8th and followed a strict diet. But when I checked again on September 18th, the bilirubin jumped back up to 2.6, even though everything else like SGOT, SGPT, protein levels were fine. Then, on October 4th, it increased again to 2.83. I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on why my bilirubin keeps rising like this?
