Rectal pain can have many causes, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, constipation, infections, or even more serious conditions like abscesses or inflammatory bowel disease. It's important to consult with a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, focus on gentle self-care methods like warm sitz baths, increasing fiber intake, and avoiding straining.

Question

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?

Question

I'm really concerned about my stomach; it's been gurgling quite a bit. And now I've started noticing my throat's doing the same thing when I wake up. It seems to settle a bit after I eat, but sometimes it even feels like my throat is tightening. What could be going on here?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 68 and has a celiac condition, and her ESR just came back at 61, which seems high to me. Her hemoglobin is 9.6 gm, and she's also undergoing treatment for CLD. I'm trying to figure out why her ESR is so elevated. Plus, she's developed these allergy-like pimples on her back and stomach. Could these issues be related? What could be causing this?
