Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

I've been monitoring my stool for the past week, and after dealing with constipation for about three days, I noticed these small round red spots on my stool. They disappeared for a bit, but now they're back, although not in large numbers. It's a little freaky for me. Last month, I had a high blood pressure issue, but it's controlled now with homeopathic meds. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

The presence of red spots in your stool could be due to various reasons, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Since you have a history of high blood pressure and are currently taking Homeopathic medicines, it is important to be cautious with any additional medications. I recommend you take a stool test to check for any signs of blood in the stool. In the meantime, you can consider taking a stool softener like Docusate Sodium to help with constipation and reduce straining during bowel movements. Additionally, increasing your fiber intake and staying hydrated can also help improve your bowel movements.
