I've been experiencing pain in my rectum for about a month now, especially when I'm passing stool. It's really uncomfortable and I'm worried about what might be causing it. What could this issue be, and what type of doctor should I reach out to?

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.

View allI've been noticing blood mixed with mucus in my stool and had a capsule endoscopy that showed duodenal and proximal jejunal lymphangiectasia along with small bowel erosions. My sigmoidoscopy also found areas of hyperemia and superficial ulcers in the rectum. Earlier CT scans showed clumped ileal loops, but after surgery, the obstruction cleared though there's still mild wall thickening, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, and a bit of straw-colored free fluid in the abdomen. Could this be IBD like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis? And what exactly is lymphangiectasia?

I've been dealing with loose motions for a while now. I started taking Eldoper for around 10 days, and it seemed to help, but now that I've stopped the medicine, the loose motions are back, and my stomach is making these weird noises too. What could be going on here?
The loose motion and stomach noise after taking Eldoper (likely an antibiotic) for 10 days, and the persistence of symptoms after stopping the medication, suggest antibiotic-associated diarrhea or a potential gut microbiome imbalance; consider consulting your doctor about probiotics, dietary changes, or further evaluation to rule out underlying conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
