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?

I'm a bit worried because both my direct bilirubin and total bilirubin levels are high according to my blood tests. I took some medication for about 5 days, and everything seemed normal again. But then I had one beer at a friend's party, and now both bilirubin levels are elevated again. Also, I've been getting a light fever in the evening or at night. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Elevated direct and total bilirubin levels, which normalized with medication but increased again after consuming alcohol, may indicate liver dysfunction or sensitivity, and the recent onset of low-grade evening fevers could suggest an underlying infection or inflammation; consider consulting a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including liver function tests, imaging studies, and potentially a liver biopsy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
