I'm really worried about the multiple calculi in my gallbladder lumen and the largest one is 13mm. The c.b.d is 3.2mm and it's visualized up to its retro pancreatic portion. There's no obvious intraductal calculus seen. What does all this mean? Should I be concerned about the size of the calculi or its location? What are the chances these will cause complications, and what steps should I take next?

The presence of multiple gallstones is identified, but there is no blockage of the bile ducts. If you're not experiencing symptoms, your doctor might suggest a wait-and-see approach, but if you do have symptoms or complications, surgery to remove the gallbladder may be necessary.

I'm having an issue where every time I walk for about 5 to 10 minutes, my buttocks get wet and itchy, both on the inside and outside. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure why it's happening. One time, after I sprinted for 5 laps, my anus released a brown liquid and felt super itchy internally. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any idea what this could be or how I can find some relief?

I accidentally swallowed some tin foil a few weeks back and I'm worried because it feels like it's still stuck. I've seen the doctors multiple times, but they're having trouble checking down my throat. What should I do now?
