I've been experiencing something unusual latelyit feels like there's a slippery substance in my anus, especially noticeable after using the toilet and washing up. It went away before but has come back recently and feels most noticeable when I'm lying in bed. Im getting a bit worried and can't figure out what it might be. Could you give me some insight into what this might be?

I've been dealing with acidity for the past year, especially in the mornings. I've tried a bunch of medicines, and while they help, I end up feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?
To alleviate morning acidity and weakness, consider the following: modify your diet by avoiding trigger foods (spicy, fatty, or citrusy), eating smaller, more frequent meals, and incorporating alkaline-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains); in addition to antacids or acid reducers, try natural remedies like ginger, aloe vera juice, or licorice tea;

I'm experiencing some issues and could really use some advice. Every time I masturbate, I end up with gastric and digestive problems. It's puzzling and a bit concerning. On top of that, my skin has gotten rough, and I've noticed a few small pimples popping up. I've been having this habit for a long time, around 67 years, and now do it about once a week. I'm really trying to break this cycle, but I keep failing. Can you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do?
