I'm really worried about my ALTSGPT level, which is at 65 UL, and my creatinine is 0.64 mgdL, with chloride at 100 mEqL. Are there any complications I should be aware of with these levels? Should I be thinking about getting more tests done, or maybe making some changes to my diet? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed some chewing gum earlier. I know people say not to swallow it, but it happened so quickly. I've been drinking a lot of water since then and am wondering if that will help the gum get digested and pass through on its own. Do you think it will just come out naturally or is there something else I should be doing? Id really appreciate your advice on this.

I'm experiencing some kind of white fluid coming out of my anus, and it's causing me really bad itching. It's not related to my bowel movements. What kind of doctor should I see about this?

It sounds like you might have an anal infection or a condition like a fistula. Please consult a **proctologist** or a **general surgeon** as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. Early care can relieve your symptoms and prevent complications.
