I'm noticing that a small, round thing comes out of my anus. There's no pain or bleeding, but I'm worried about what this might be. It seems to happen when I have to push during a bowel movement. Can you help me understand what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area that can protrude outside the anus. To help with this issue, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H cream or Tucks pads. Make sure to also increase your fiber intake, drink plenty of water, and avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm feeling this weird tingling sensation under my left rib cage. Every time I lie on my left side, it feels like something's there, like a slight pressure or touch. I looked it up and it mentioned something about the spleen. Who would be the best specialist to consult about this?

I've been dealing with this issue for the last two years where I get this anal discharge once or twice a day. It's like a mild, transparent mucus with an odor, but it's not stool. It mostly happens after I've eaten or when I've exercised. It's not flowing a lot, just stays there, and doesnt stain my clothes, but it's making the area irritated and itchy. And because of the itching, Ive had skin abscesses on my buttock area about 3-4 times in the past year and a half. There's no pain, no constipation, and my bowel movements are regular. What could be causing this, and is there any medicine or treatment I should consider?
to determine the underlying cause of the anal discharge, which may be related to conditions like anal fistula, rectal prolapse, or gastrointestinal infections; in the meantime, maintain good anal hygiene, avoid scratching the area, consult gastroenterologist

Why do I feel weak after pooping?
Weakness after defecation is due to vaso vagal reaction. When you tense abdominal muscles or strain to pass stool, vagus nerve is stimulated which decreases the heart rate. Also, blood flow to the heart decreases causing the blood pressure to drop. Hence, decreased heart rate with drop in blood pressure together makes you light headed or weak after passing stool.
