I'm experiencing a clear, sticky discharge from my anus, and it's got a pretty bad smell. I've also had loose stools for months. What could be causing this?

the transparent, sticky, and foul-smelling anal discharge, accompanied by loose stools for several months, could be caused by gastrointestinal infection, anal fistula or abscess, hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), malabsorption, or dietary factors, and it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a thorough examination and diagnosis.

My mom is 60 and she's having issues with her intestines being trapped and swollen. I'm really worried and need to know how this can be treated. It's quite urgent. Could you help me understand what steps we should take?

Intestinal obstruction can be a serious medical condition, especially in older adults. The treatment for intestinal obstruction typically involves hospitalization and may include intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration, nasogastric suction to decompress the intestines, and potentially surgery to remove the blockage. In some cases, medications such as laxatives or enemas may be used to help clear the obstruction. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect intestinal obstruction, as it can lead to serious complications if left untreated. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Can surgery is possible for superior mesentric artery syndrome Tell me about various treatment.I have consulted many doctors but not able to get rid from it.

Another surgical approach to treating SMA syndrome is a duodenojejunostomy, in which the compressed portion of the duodenum is released and an anastomosis is created between the duodenum and jejunum anterior to the superior mesenteric artery. This is the classic approach to SMA syndrome.

I've been dealing with this navel or belly button displacement for the last three days, and it's really painful. Can you tell me how to get rid of it quickly?

To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to reduce the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the affected area to help relax the muscles and reduce discomfort. It is important to gently massage the area around the navel to try to reposition it back to its normal place. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
