I'm a 23-year-old guy and lately, I've noticed this really unusual smell in my stool for the past 10 to 15 days. It's not like the usual odor, and I can't even begin to describe it. On top of that, I've been dealing with constipation off and on. Other than these issues, I feel okay. I should mention that a couple of months ago, I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy because of some abdomen pain, but everything came back normal. Is this something I should be worried about?

Its good that your colonoscopy and endoscopy were normal. A change in stool odor, along with occasional constipation, could be related to diet or mild digestive issues, but if the symptoms persist or worsen, it's worth checking in with your doctor again to rule out any underlying concerns.

I've been dealing with a fissure issue and my homeopathy doctor prescribed oral meds along with liquid drops for sitz baths. Just wanted to check if this treatment approach sounds right or if surgery might be needed down the line. The discomfort's been bothering me and I'm not sure how effective these remedies are long-term

Homeopathy and sitz baths may help mild cases, but chronic fissures usually need surgery like LIS or laser. Track symptoms and pain.

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.
