I've been having this issue where I feel a strong urge to pass stool, but once I'm actually on the toilet, it just doesn't fully evacuate. It's like I can go a little, but then something seems to block it. It ends up happening in bits over the day, like 3 or 4 times. Is this something I should be worried about, like why can't I just get it all out in one go?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's dealing with both dengue and typhoid right now, and I'm not sure what kind of diet would be best for her. The big issue is that nothing seems to be digesting properly - even water passes through her really quickly, like within 15 minutes. Is there something specific I should be feeding her to help with this?

I found out I have a polyp during an endoscopy, and the doctor recommended a polypectomy. I'm a bit worried could this be an early sign of cancer? Also, is there any chance the polypectomy itself could cause malignancy later? And is there a way to tell if the polyp is benign or malignant without surgery or removing it?
A colon polyp found during endoscopy doesn't automatically mean cancer, but it's a good idea to remove it for preventative measures, as it can potentially become cancerous. While polypectomy itself doesn't cause malignancy, it can remove polyps that might otherwise become cancerous, There's no way to definitively tell if a polyp is benign or malignant without a biopsy, and the doctor will usually take samples during the polypectomy procedure.

I've just gotten my LFT and Lipid profile test results, and I'm kind of worried because the numbers seem high. My total bilirubin is at 2.1 mgdl, direct bilirubin is 0.5 mgdl, and the indirect bilirubin is 1.6 mgdl. Can you help me understand what these high values mean? Should I be concerned?
Based on these results, you may benefit from taking Ursodeoxycholic acid to help lower your bilirubin levels.
