I've been experiencing some discomfort lately, with pain in my anus that feels worse when I'm sitting or riding my motorbike. I'm also struggling with passing hard stools. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and how I can feel better?

Your TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) level is 5.4.
Normal TSH range: 0.4-4.5 UmL (may vary slightly depending on the lab)
Your TSH level: 5.4 UmL (slightly elevated)
This indicates that your thyroid gland might not be producing enough thyroid hormones (mild hypothyroidism).
Next steps:
- Consult an endocrinologist or your primary care physician.
- Discuss your test results and medical history.
- Determine the best course of action, which may include medication or further testing.
Please consult a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.

I'm experiencing this pain just above my rectum for the last few days, and it's getting pretty intense, especially when I'm moving around on the bed or walking quickly. I don't feel anything abnormal there, but the pain kicks in when I apply pressure to that area. Do you think this might be inflammation or perhaps something else? What type of doctor should I see for an early check-up?
You should consult a proctologist or gastroenterologist for an early examination. They will assess your symptoms, perform a physical examination and possibly imaging studies to diagnose the cause of the pain. Common causes include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, proctalgia fugax or pelvic floor dysfunction. Self-care measures include applying warm compresses, maintaining good bowel habits and managing stress.
