I'm having a problem where I need to go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times every morning, and it's not a complete bowel movement. This has been happening since I was born. Whenever I have to leave the house early, I take an Eldoper tablet to prevent more bathroom trips. I'm worried if taking Eldoper could seriously affect my liver. How should I handle this situation?

I've been dealing with this chest pain for quite a while now and it's really starting to worry me. It feels like something in the middle of my chest is hurting a lot. Plus, I sometimes vomit, which burns my chest and inner neck really bad. Mornings are especially tough because I often feel like I'm going to throw up. I'm just trying to figure out why I'm experiencing this and what I can do to make it better. Any insights would be greatly appreciated because this is becoming really stressful.

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.
