I've been having a tough time with some digestive issues lately, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. There's been indigestion, that uncomfortable burning feeling from acidity, and I've noticed a lot of gas. On top of that, it seems like I'm not fully clearing my bowelsmy stools have been less for the past few days. Is there something specific I should be looking out for or doing to help with this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI'm dealing with hemorrhoids for about a year and a half now, and I'm really eager to find a solution. Could it be an issue if I start going to the gym or playing sports? Any advice would be great!
Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day..... Don't use dry toilet paper. To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper that doesn't contain perfume or alcohol. Apply cold. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on your anus to relieve swelling. With these treatments, hemorrhoid symptoms often go away within a week.

I'm dealing with some bowel issues for about a year now. Sometimes things seem to get better, but then it starts acting up again after a few days. My colon just doesnt seem to empty properly. Sometimes the bowel is really hard, and other times there's a mucus-like thing, which causes gas and acidity. No matter what type of bowel movement it is, I struggle to pass stools and have to apply a lot of pressure, which sometimes leads to rectal pain. Even then, my colon still doesnt feel empty. I'm wondering if there might be some kind of obstruction or if it could be irritable bowel syndrome. It's really affecting my daily life, and the discomfort is too much to handle. Can you help clarify what's going on?
While Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a likely cause of your symptoms, its important to consider other possible conditions, such as intestinal obstruction, IBD, or pelvic floor dysfunction. Given the persistence and discomfort of your symptoms, I highly recommend consulting a gastroenterologist to undergo a thorough evaluation, including tests like a colonoscopy or imaging, to rule out other potential causes and get a proper diagnosis. Treatment may involve a combination of dietary changes, medications, and possibly physical therapy for pelvic floor issues.

I'm dealing with this really annoying issue where I seem to burp more than 50 times a day. It's like every time I eat, I burp a bunch of times and even when I'm not eating, it happens like 23 times an hour. I'm just trying to understand what's going on. What could be causing so much burping?
