I'm really worried because for the past 23 days I've been having severe problems. I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my anus whenever I'm having a bowel movement, and it feels like I constantly have to go to the bathroom. It's painful all the time and I don't know what to do or which doctor I should see about this. Could you please help me figure this out?

Does IBS cause weight loss?

It is not very typical to have weight loss in IBS as compared to Ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Due to severe abdominal pain or cramps, persons with IBS may consume less food than they normally would which may lead to weight change but significant weight loss may not be common.

I accidentally swallowed a small piece of plastic from an oregano sachet while I was eating pizza a couple of days ago. I'm not having any trouble breathing or swallowing, and my bowel movements seem normal. But I've been experiencing some acidity, like burps, a feeling of fullness in my throat after eating, and a bit of soreness. Should I consider getting an endoscopy, or is this something that might resolve on its own?

At this stage, its likely that you dont need an endoscopy. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation.

I've been told I have h. Pylori after an endoscopy and I'm a bit worried because I've got mild gastritis, but no ulcers thankfully. What's causing this h. Pylori, and what medications or treatments should I be looking at to deal with it?
