Question

I'm noticing some blood when I go to the bathroom and I'm pretty sure it's because I've got a scratch or something in the passage near the exit. It's also really burning when I poop. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you might have a small tear or fissure near your anus, which can cause bleeding and burning during bowel movements. It's important to keep the area clean, avoid straining, and consider using a soothing cream like zinc oxide or a sitz bath. If the bleeding continues or worsens, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor.

Question

Ive been noticing that I'm going to the toilet way more times a day than usual, and it feels like I need to go right after eating. Sometimes its not even an easy process, and I have to struggle quite a bit. Its really starting to worry me because it's messing up my daily routine. Im thinking of visiting a Gastroenterologist this week, but I wanted to get your thoughts on this. Any idea what might be going on?

Question

I'm really worried about this breathing problem I've been having for the past three months. Ive done a lung X-ray, which came out normal, and an ultrasound that showed I have PCOD. But now, for the last 10 days, I've also been dealing with acid reflux. I'm taking Pantocid tablets and sometimes Digene syrup, but the breathing issue is still there. I recently had an endoscopy and they found GERD and some ulcers in my food pipe. Could you suggest if there's any specific test I should consider to find out why I'm struggling so much with my breathing? Like maybe a lung test or anything else I should look into?

Question

I accidentally swallowed a small chocolate while sneezing and I'm worried where it went. It happened really fast and now my sneezes have stopped, but Im feeling tense about it. I'm not having any issues right now, but could you let me know if it's more likely in my stomach or my lungs? Just need a little clarity to ease my mind.
