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:

  1. Consult an endocrinologist or your primary care physician.
  2. Discuss your test results and medical history.
  3. 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 having a tough time with this burning and itching around my anus, and there's even blood when I go to the bathroom. I noticed a small piece of tissue or something external there, and it's really painful when I pass stool. The discomfort lasts all day, making it hard to sit or walk. After seeing the doctor, they mentioned it looks minor and focused on easing my constipation with some ointment and syrup to soften the stool. That part's a bit better now, but the opening feels too small, and this external pile makes it difficult when I go to the bathroom. I dealt with piles about two years ago, and medication helped within a few weeksit hasn't been an issue until now. I'm really eager to find a permanent solution for this external issue. Any advice on the best approach to tackle this?

To help with the pain, itching, and burning, you can use Preparation H ointment to reduce inflammation and discomfort. For permanent relief, you may need to consider a surgical procedure called hemorrhoidectomy to remove the external pile. In the meantime, continue using the ointment as directed and maintain soft stools with the syrup provided by your doctor. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed a lump or bump that's been growing near my anus for a few months now, and it's starting to ooze a yellowish fluid. It's worrying me a bit, and I'm curious about what this could be. Could it be something serious, or is it possible for it to just go away on its own? What should I do next?

That could be pilonidal sinus ,without any further delay visit General Surgeon for appropriate management
