I've been monitoring my stool for the past week, and after dealing with constipation for about three days, I noticed these small round red spots on my stool. They disappeared for a bit, but now they're back, although not in large numbers. It's a little freaky for me. Last month, I had a high blood pressure issue, but it's controlled now with homeopathic meds. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

The presence of red spots in your stool could be due to various reasons, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Since you have a history of high blood pressure and are currently taking Homeopathic medicines, it is important to be cautious with any additional medications. I recommend you take a stool test to check for any signs of blood in the stool. In the meantime, you can consider taking a stool softener like Docusate Sodium to help with constipation and reduce straining during bowel movements. Additionally, increasing your fiber intake and staying hydrated can also help improve your bowel movements.

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort with itching and occasionally a burning sensation after I pass stool, which lasts for a few hours before it settles down. But the itching tends to come and go. I've been using Betadine cream on my anus, and it seems to provide some relief. Is it safe for me to keep doing this, or should I be considering something else? Could you provide some guidance on this?
yes but do stool culture examination

Can rectal prolapse get better without surgery or do I always need an operation What treatments or home remedies actually work to fix it Would doing Kegel exercises help pull it back up or is that not effective for this issue
In adults, rectal prolapse typically requires surgical intervention, as it often doesn't resolve on its own or with conservative treatments. While some lifestyle changes and exercises like Kegels can help manage symptoms and strengthen pelvic floor muscles, they are not a definitive cure for a prolapse.

Good day, I've been having trouble sleeping at night for almost 2 months now, and it's really starting to worry me. My throat always feels dry even though I drink water all the time. I also experience some chest pain and burping, sometimes even heartburn. I've noticed bumps on the back of my tongue and a white patch in the center too. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
