I'm a bit worried because my stool test showed 12 HPF pus cells and an acidic pH. The CRP level is 1.5 and I'm not quite sure what this means, but I read that it's within the normal range. Could these results indicate some kind of bowel issue, and should I be concerned about something more serious? What steps should I take next?

I've been having this really annoying itching around my anus, especially at night and in the evening. It almost feels like something's crawling around in there. I'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been trying to cut back on sweets, hoping it might help. Do you know what could be causing this, and is there any medicine I should try? If you can suggest something, could you also let me know how and when to take it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of pinworm infection. I recommend taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a single dose at night before bedtime. This medication helps to treat parasitic infections like pinworms. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, please consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm taking Zandu Pancharista after lunch and dinner because my digestion isn't great, but sometimes I get this upward-moving gas. When that happens, I just take a Normaxin tablet, and it helps right away. I'm a bit concerned though, is it okay to use Normaxin like this, not every day, just when the gas acts up after I've taken the Zandu Pancharista?
Taking Normaxin occasionally for gas relief, about an hour after consuming Zandu Pancharishta, is generally considered safe, as Normaxin contains simethicone, which helps alleviate gas and bloating, and Zandu Pancharishta is a digestive tonic
