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?

I'm really struggling hereI've had diarrhea for the last 3 months and my doctor said it might be IBS. I'm currently taking ibset, but before this, I tried colospa x and eldicet. The problem is, every time I stop the meds, the diarrhea comes back, and sometimes it happens like 3 to 4 times a day with mucus. I'm worried and not sure what I should be doing differently. Any advice on how to manage this?

I had surgery for piles a while ago and have been using laxatives for about 9-10 months to help with recovery. Now I can't seem to pass stool without them. How do I know if I've become dependent on laxatives and what can I do to fix this?

Long-term laxative use may cause dependence; gradually taper under medical supervision and increase fiber and hydration.
