I'm experiencing a clear, sticky discharge from my anus, and it's got a pretty bad smell. I've also had loose stools for months. What could be causing this?

the transparent, sticky, and foul-smelling anal discharge, accompanied by loose stools for several months, could be caused by gastrointestinal infection, anal fistula or abscess, hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), malabsorption, or dietary factors, and it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a thorough examination and diagnosis.

I'm having an issue where every time I walk for about 5 to 10 minutes, my buttocks get wet and itchy, both on the inside and outside. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure why it's happening. One time, after I sprinted for 5 laps, my anus released a brown liquid and felt super itchy internally. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any idea what this could be or how I can find some relief?

I'm having a tough time with this. I saw a general physician who prescribed me flatuna tablets and a gasinoxuni enzyme, but there's been no improvement. Every time I eat, even just a little, I get really breathless for a while afterward. Do you have any other suggestions or medications that might help?

It sounds like you may need further evaluation to rule out other underlying causes of breathlessness, such as digestive issues or respiratory conditions. If the current medication hasn't worked, I suggest revisiting your doctor for a more comprehensive examination or testing. They may consider other treatments, including antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or even a respiratory check.
