It can be because of lack of fibre in diet and some intestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Try to include high fiber foods such as Pears, strawberries, apple, oat meal, brown rice, banana, broccoli, green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), avocado, carrots, tomato, beans and sweet potato in diet and take plenty of fluids.If issue still persist then consult a doctor.

I'm really concerned about this habit I've developed of inserting my finger into my anus. I did it yesterday, and a couple of hours later, when I did it again, I noticed this slimy, jelly-like stuff on my finger. There's no blood, pain, or any other symptoms, but this always seems to happen when I do it again soon after the first time. Is this slime supposed to be there? Does the fingering cause it? I've read online that other people who've done anal fingering have noticed it too, so is it always present? I really want to stop this habit, and I'm feeling worried. Please guide me on what to do.
Rabies Vaccination and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) _Timing of Vaccination_ 1. _Immediate vaccination recommended_: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends immediate vaccination after exposure to rabies, ideally within 24-48 hours. 2. _Vaccination during incubation period_: If vaccination is administered during the incubation period (before symptoms appear), it can still be effective in preventing rabies. _Your Situation_ 1. _Delayed vaccination_: You received vaccinations 6-7 years after the initial exposure. 2. _Multiple vaccinations_: You have taken a total of 17 vaccinations from 2008-2016. _Reassurance and Recommendations_ 1. _Low risk of rabies_: Given the long incubation period and the fact that you have not shown any symptoms, the risk of rabies is low. 2. _No need for further vaccinations_: You have already received multiple vaccinations, and further vaccinations are unlikely to provide additional benefits. 3. _Consult a doctor for reassurance_: Schedule a consultation with a doctor or a rabies expert to discuss your concerns and receive reassurance. 4. _Address anxiety and depression_: Consider seeking professional help to manage your anxiety and depression related to the fear of rabies.

I've been dealing with going to the toilet 10 to 12 times a day, and sometimes it's even more than that. It's been happening for six months now. Any ideas on what might be going on or suggestions on what I should do about it?
Dog Bite Incident and Potential Infection Risk _Assessment:_ 1. _Minor wound_: The wound was small and healed quickly. 2. _Prompt wound care_: You washed the wound with Dettol liquid, reducing the risk of infection. 3. _Low-risk bite_: The dog's tooth only grazed the skin, and the wound didn't become infected. _Precautions and recommendations:_ 1. _Monitor for symptoms_: Keep an eye out for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus. 2. _Rabies risk is low_: Given the minor nature of the wound and the fact that the dog is still alive and healthy (sleeping in the same place every day), the risk of rabies transmission is low. 3. _Tetanus shot_: If you're not up-to-date on your tetanus vaccinations, consider getting a booster shot. 4. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule a consultation with your primary care physician or an infectious disease specialist to discuss your concerns and determine if any further action is needed. _No need for:_ 1. _Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies_: Given the low-risk nature of the incident. 2. _Immediate antibiotic treatment_: Unless symptoms of infection develop.
