I've been dealing with constipation for about a year now, and it's been really tough. I end up straining a lot, and sometimes a small part of my rectum sticks out after I use the bathroom. It's kind of worrying because I can push it back in, but it still causes some pain, especially when I'm sitting. I also feel like I need to go to the bathroom around six times a day, which is pretty embarrassing and scary. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this without having to go through surgery. Any advice would be super helpful.

View allI'm concerned because I seem to be passing motion about 4-5 times a day, especially after 12 hours of eating anything, and it happens more when I'm at the office. But when I'm at home, it's only about twice, like in the morning and evening. Why could this be happening, and is there something specific I should do?
The urge to poop after eating is usually caused by the gastrocolic reflex, a naturalHere are some lifestyle changes that may help with gastrocolic reflex: Eat smaller meals: Eat several smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large meals. Avoid certain foods: Limit or avoid foods that make symptoms worse, such as deep-fried or spicy foods, or meals high in fat. Drink fluids: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, to keep things moving. Take probiotics: Take a probiotic supplement or eat foods rich in probiotics, like kimchi, sauerkraut, or low-fat yogurt. Manage stress: Try yoga, breathing exercises, guided imagery, or meditation to reduce stress. Exercise: Increasing physical activity can help. Take stool softeners: If stools are hard, take stool softeners with meals. Try peppermint: Take peppermint oil before meals or sip peppermint tea after meals.

I'm kind of worried because I think I swallowed a small chicken bone while eating yesterday. It doesn't hurt right now, but I'm not sure what to do. I've tried gargling and even eating a banana to see if it helps, but nothing's really working. Should I be doing something else, or is this a wait-it-out kind of thing? How serious could this be if it doesn't feel painful?
In this case, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent any complications. In the meantime, you can try eating soft foods like yogurt or pudding to see if it helps dislodge the bone. However, if the bone is still stuck, do not delay in seeking medical help. I recommend you to go to the nearest hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit concerned after my recent routine checkup. During the ultrasound, everything came back normal except for something called "Mild Fatty Infiltration of Liver." My blood and urine tests were all fine too. I don't have any symptoms like pain or digestive issues, and my appetite is good. Should I be worried about this liver thing? Are there precautions I need to take?
