I seem to be farting a lot and it's really embarrassing, especially because they're often wet and smell really bad. This is becoming a problem in places like the classroom and hostel. I'm also noticing that my stool has a strong odor, particularly in the mornings. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to fix it?

Excessive, wet, and foul-smelling flatulence, along with bad-smelling stools, may indicate an imbalance of gut bacteria, poor digestion, or malabsorption of nutrients; consider incorporating probiotics, digestive enzymes, and fiber-rich foods into your diet, while also avoiding trigger foods like beans, cabbage, and dairy

View allI've been dealing with these analrectal cuts and itching for almost a week now, and I think it's anal fissures. I'm using T Bact and Fucidin H cream, which seems to help, but the cuts keep spreading. Even after they heal, my skin still feels itchy and irritated. I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting these anal cuts so often, especially since there hasn't been any anal intercourse to stress the area. What should I do?
You may be experiencing recurrent anal fissures, which can be quite uncomfortable. The use of topical ointments like T Bact and Fucidin H cream can help with healing, but it's important to address the underlying cause to prevent recurrence. To help prevent anal fissures and promote healing, I recommend the following: - Keep the anal area clean and dry - Increase your fiber intake to soften stools and make bowel movements easier - Stay well-hydrated - Avoid straining during bowel movements - Consider using a stool softener if needed - Sitz baths can help soothe the area and promote healing In addition, you may benefit from using a topical ointment like Rectogesic (glyceryl trinitrate) to help relax the anal sphincter and promote healing of the fissures. If these measures do not provide relief or if the fissures continue to recur, I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been taking Dulcoflex for about a month now to help with constipation, but I'm noticing some weird side effects. I'm going to the bathroom a lot more often and I'm always hungry, even after eating a big meal. I've also noticed I'm losing weight and there's some itching around the anal area. I've done a bunch of tests but everything comes back normal. Could you suggest what might be going on or recommend some medication that could help? I'm really worried about these symptoms.
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as high urination, excessive hunger, weight loss, and anal itching, despite normal test results, may be related to the laxative Dulcoflex (bisacodyl); consider stopping or reducing the medication and switching to a fiber supplement like Psyllium Husk or methylcellulose to manage constipation

I've been having a problem with loose stools for the past couple of days, and I'm wondering if it's okay to take Metrogyl 200 and Ellopar to help with this. What do you think?
