I've been having some issues recently after I went to the toilet a few days back. It was a bit of a tough experience, and since then I've been feeling itchy down there. Today I even noticed some bleeding from the area. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been really worried since I had this scary episode last night. I was sleeping when I suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, and when I did, I ended up throwing up a lot of blood. It happened four times, and the last one had a dark brown color while the others were dark red. I also had a huge coughing fit. What could be going on? Should I be concerned?

I've got a 4mm gallstone and multiple small ones do I really need surgery or is there a way to dissolve them? Will they go away on their own or do I have to do something about it?

I'm a bit worried because my stool test showed 12 HPF pus cells and an acidic pH. The CRP level is 1.5 and I'm not quite sure what this means, but I read that it's within the normal range. Could these results indicate some kind of bowel issue, and should I be concerned about something more serious? What steps should I take next?
