I've been dealing with IBS for about 14 years now, and I also have issues with piles. It's been really tough managing both. Could you recommend a good doctor who specializes in these problems? Would really appreciate some guidance!

I understand how challenging IBS and piles can be. For personalized care, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist who specializes in digestive disorders, and a proctologist for piles. They can guide you with tailored treatment options to manage both conditions effectively.

I'm experiencing this strange sensation like something is crawling in my anus, but I can't see any worms or anything visible. This usually happens after I use the toilet and if I've been using the water pipe a lot. Could it possibly be some kind of infection from the water? There's no itching, just an uncomfortable and weird feeling like something's crawling inside. What could this be?

Possible helminthic infection. I recommend taking a single dose of Albendazole 400mg tablet to treat the possible infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with some loose motions right now, and I'm really worried because I have a competition tomorrow. Is there any way to fix this in just one day?

Possible Diagnosis* 1. *Tonsillolith (Tonsil Stone)*: A small, harmless deposit of calcium and debris that can form on the surface of the tonsils. 2. *Mucous Cyst*: A small, benign growth that can occur on the mucous membranes in the throat. 3. *Follicular Hyperplasia*: An overgrowth of lymphoid tissue in the throat, which can cause small, painless bumps. *Treatment Advice* 1. *Gargling with Salt Water*: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day to help reduce inflammation and flush out debris. 2. *Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene*: Brush your teeth regularly, and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria and debris from the surface of your tongue. 3. *Staying Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help keep your throat moist and reduce the risk of tonsil stones.
