Question 1

I've been dealing with this issue for the last two years where I get this anal discharge once or twice a day. It's like a mild, transparent mucus with an odor, but it's not stool. It mostly happens after I've eaten or when I've exercised. It's not flowing a lot, just stays there, and doesnt stain my clothes, but it's making the area irritated and itchy. And because of the itching, Ive had skin abscesses on my buttock area about 3-4 times in the past year and a half. There's no pain, no constipation, and my bowel movements are regular. What could be causing this, and is there any medicine or treatment I should consider?

Accepted Answer

to determine the underlying cause of the anal discharge, which may be related to conditions like anal fistula, rectal prolapse, or gastrointestinal infections; in the meantime, maintain good anal hygiene, avoid scratching the area, consult  gastroenterologist

Question 2

I've been having some stomach pain and my doctor did an endoscopy. He mentioned something about an h pylari or h capitalliary infection. I'm on this Sompraz hp kit now, but since I started taking it, I've been having really loose stools and feel like I can't control it. Is this normal? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Given the blood groups you mentioned:

- Mother (O+)
- Father (B+)
- Child (A+)

_It is theoretically possible_ for the child to have the A+ blood group, as the ABO blood group system is controlled by multiple genes. However, it's essential to explore this further.

To discuss this topic, consider consulting:

1. *Geneticist*: A specialist in genetics and heredity.
2. *Medical Geneticist*: A medical doctor specializing in genetics and genomics.

Regarding DNA testing, you can ask for a:

1. *Parentage Test*: Also known as a Paternity Test or DNA Paternity Test.
2. *DNA Profiling*: A test that analyzes specific DNA markers to determine biological relationships.

Some common DNA tests used for parentage testing include:

1. *Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Testing*: Analyzes specific DNA markers.
2. *Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Testing*: Amplifies specific DNA sequences.

Before proceeding, consider the emotional implications of DNA testing and discuss them with your family and a genetic counselor if needed.
