I'm a 25-year-old male and I'm really worried I might have hemorrhoids. I've been noticing a few symptoms lately and it's been quite unsettling for me. Is it possible to treat this with just medications and avoid surgery?

Hemorrhoids can often be managed and cured with medications and lifestyle changes, avoiding surgery; to alleviate symptoms, try stool softeners (psyllium), fiber supplements, topical creams (hydrocortisone, witch hazel), pain relievers (acetaminophen), and warm sitz baths; make lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, avoiding straining during bowel movements, and managing constipation;

I'm having some trouble with gas, and I think it might be related to the fact that I've been eating a lot of boiled egg whitesabout 5 to 6 every day. Can they actually be causing this gas issue? If they are, is there something I can do to help with the gas? And what if I decide to switch to liquid egg whites insteadwould that make any difference?

Interesting combination of symptoms. _Relationship Between UTI and Undigested Food in Stool_ 1. _Unrelated conditions_: UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and undigested food in stool are generally unrelated conditions. 2. _E. coli in urine culture_: The presence of E. coli in your urine culture confirms a UTI, but the low colony count might indicate a mild infection. 3. _Undigested food in stool_: This symptom could be related to: - Gastrointestinal issues (e.g., IBS, gastroparesis, or malabsorption) - Dietary factors (e.g., food intolerance, high-fiber diet, or inadequate digestive enzymes) - Other medical conditions (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn's disease, or pancreatic insufficiency) _Next Steps_ 1. _Complete UTI treatment_: Finish the prescribed antibiotic course to clear the E. coli infection. 2. _Investigate gastrointestinal symptoms_: Consult a gastroenterologist or a primary care physician to evaluate the undigested food in stool symptom. 3. _Dietary and lifestyle changes_: Consider keeping a food diary, avoiding trigger foods, and incorporating digestive-friendly foods and habits.
