I was wondering if you could help me with something. Last night, I felt something moving in my anus after going to the toilet. There's also this little pain I've been experiencing in my lower left stomach and groin area. Sometimes it even feels like there's some kind of obstruction when I'm trying to have a bowel movement or when I urinate. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

The sensation of something moving in your anus, accompanied by pain in the lower left stomach and groin area, and occasional obstruction during bowel movements or urination, may indicate a possible rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, or anal fissure; schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist,

I found out I have a polyp during an endoscopy, and the doctor recommended a polypectomy. I'm a bit worried could this be an early sign of cancer? Also, is there any chance the polypectomy itself could cause malignancy later? And is there a way to tell if the polyp is benign or malignant without surgery or removing it?

A colon polyp found during endoscopy doesn't automatically mean cancer, but it's a good idea to remove it for preventative measures, as it can potentially become cancerous. While polypectomy itself doesn't cause malignancy, it can remove polyps that might otherwise become cancerous, There's no way to definitively tell if a polyp is benign or malignant without a biopsy, and the doctor will usually take samples during the polypectomy procedure.

So I've been taking metronidazole for 4 days and accidentally drank 3 beers. I feel fine right now, but I'm worried if everything will be okay. I'm also usually a heavy drinker, so I'm wondering if that changes anything.

you may not experience any adverse effects from having a few beers, but its important to be cautious. The best course of action is to avoid alcohol for the rest of your treatment and for 48 hours after you finish the medication. If you feel unwell or develop any symptoms, seek medical advice right away.
