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.

View allI'm a little worried about my recent test results. My thyroid blood test and stool test came back normal, but my doctor still prescribed Ibset and Colonise Forte for a week. Does this mean there might be another issue that's not showing up in the tests?
Your reports are normal so do you have any kind of diarrhoea or having any digestion issue or you are using antibiotics or nsaids long use so give them symptomatic treatment as all test are normal so it can be antibiotic associated diarrhoea so treat it you are advised for these medications

I've been dealing with ongoing diarrhea for the past couple of weeks. It's strange because I'm not getting dehydrated or feeling tired, but when the abdominal pain hits, I have to rush to the restroom. I've noticed that sometimes the stools are loose, but not always; they're mostly normal. I've tried taking Lomofen tablets, but they don't seem to make a difference. Could you help me understand what's going on?
Can be a case of Irritable bowel syndrome. Do these tests : Culture and sensitivity stool and Routine stool microscopy. Reduce stress Avoid oily spicy smoked and deep fried food Avoid Tea Coffee Dark Chocolate and pastries Avoid Maida products Take plenty of fluids Also take probiotics like Bifilac cap once daily at bed time for 10 days.
