I'm having some discomfort right at the opening of my anus, but there's no blood in my stools. I am also experiencing loose motions. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. Pain in the anal area without bleeding, especially with loose motions, could be due to irritation, an anal fissure, or infection. Keep the area clean, stay hydrated, and consider taking a mild stool binder like ORS with electrolytes. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for a proper examination.

I've been having really bad gas pain and back pain lately and the USG showed multiple gallstones with the largest one being 0.44cm in my gallbladder. Is there any medicine that can dissolve these stones instead of surgery and if so how long would it take to work

Multiple gallstones detected via ultrasound can definitely cause the type of gas and back pain you're experiencing. The pain is likely due to the gallstones blocking the bile ducts, which is a condition called biliary colic. It's important to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment, as gallstones can lead to more serious complications if left untreated.
