I'm dealing with some rectal pain and it's really concerning me, though there's no bleeding involved. Could you let me know what kind of doctor I should see for this issue? I'm not sure where to start and would appreciate some guidance.

My mom had a heart attack in mid-March and had to get an angioplasty. Right after she came home from the hospital, she's been having constant diarrhea. She's really scared to eat anything because of it. She's dealing with both high blood pressure and diabetes. Do you have any idea what's causing this and how we can help stop the diarrhea?
In this case, it is important to consult with her doctor to rule out any other underlying causes. To help stop the loose motions, she can take a medication called Loperamide (Imodium) 2mg after each loose stool, up to a maximum of 16mg per day. Additionally, she can try taking a probiotic supplement like Saccharomyces boulardii to help restore the balance of good bacteria in her gut. It is also important for her to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and to eat small, bland meals throughout the day. If the loose motions persist, her doctor may need to adjust her medications or investigate further

I'm a bit concerned about my liver. I recently received an ultrasound report that says my liver is normal in size, about 14.0 cm, but there's a mild diffuse increase in echogenicity, indicating grade I fatty changes. Theres no focal mass lesion or IHBR dilatation seen. Should I be worried about these findings? What exactly does "mild diffuse increase in echogenicity" mean, and what are grade I fatty changes? Is there something specific I should be doing or monitoring because of this, or are these changes considered normal?
The liver is of normal size (14.0 cm) and demonstrates mild diffuse fatty changes, which are likely grade I in severity. There are no signs of any focal masses or bile duct dilatation. This suggests early-stage fatty liver changes without any significant abnormalities.
