I'm feeling this pain just under my left ribs that kind of feels like a cramp and it extends to my back. It's been like this for two days and hasn't gotten any better. Now there's also a tingling sensation along the base of my ribs and on the right side above my waist. What could this be?

View allI've been having this light pinch in my stomach lately. It's not really severe or uncomfortable, and my motions seem normal. I don't drink or smoke, so I'm wondering what kind of medication or tests I might need to consider? Any advice would be appreciated!
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as severe pain during bowel movements, persistent pain, and itching around the rectum, suggest that you might be dealing with: _Possible Causes_ 1. _Anal fissure_: A small tear in the lining of the anus, causing pain and itching. 2. _Hemorrhoids_: Swollen veins in the rectum or anus, leading to pain, itching, and discomfort. 3. _Proctitis_: Inflammation of the rectum, causing pain, itching, and discomfort. _Remedies and Treatments_ 1. _Increase fiber intake_: Eat foods rich in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, to soften stool and reduce straining. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help soften stool and reduce constipation. 3. _Warm sitz baths_: Soak in a warm bath for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a day, to help relax the anal muscles and reduce pain. 4. _Topical creams or ointments_: Apply creams or ointments containing hydrocortisone, lidocaine, or witch hazel to help reduce pain, itching, and inflammation. 5. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your doctor or a gastroenterologist to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and receive personalized guidance. _When to Seek Immediate Attention_ 1. _Severe pain_: If your pain is unbearable or worsens over time. 2. _Bleeding_: If you notice blood in your stool or black tarry stools. 3. _Fever_: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C). 4. _Difficulty controlling bowel movements_: If you experience involuntary bowel movements or difficulty controlling stool.

I've been dealing with loose motions for a while now. I started taking Eldoper for around 10 days, and it seemed to help, but now that I've stopped the medicine, the loose motions are back, and my stomach is making these weird noises too. What could be going on here?
The loose motion and stomach noise after taking Eldoper (likely an antibiotic) for 10 days, and the persistence of symptoms after stopping the medication, suggest antibiotic-associated diarrhea or a potential gut microbiome imbalance; consider consulting your doctor about probiotics, dietary changes, or further evaluation to rule out underlying conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

I've been dealing with bleeding piles and I'm currently breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe for me to use lactulose solution? Could it have any effects on my baby?
Lactulose solution is generally considered safe during breastfeeding, as it is not absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore unlikely to pass into breastmilk
