How can I clear my bowels every morning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated is a great way to regulate digestion. People who support a water flush for colon cleansing recommend drinking six to eight glasses of lukewarm water per day. Also try eating plenty of foods high in fiber & water content. This includes fruits and vegetables like watermelons, tomatoes, lettuce, and celery.

I'm experiencing some kind of white fluid coming out of my anus, and it's causing me really bad itching. It's not related to my bowel movements. What kind of doctor should I see about this?
It sounds like you might have an anal infection or a condition like a fistula. Please consult a **proctologist** or a **general surgeon** as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. Early care can relieve your symptoms and prevent complications.
