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 worried about my mom. She had an ultrasound a couple of days ago, and it said her liver is bigger than normal at 159 mm with mildly increased echotexture. Theres no sign of dilated IHBR or any abscess. Most other organs like her gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and uterus seem normal, but she has been feeling nauseous consistently for the last 10 days and it's hard for her to eat. She has diabetes and high blood pressure for which she's on medication. What do you think could be causing these symptoms, and what should we do next?

I found out I have gallstones around 0.88 mm in my gallbladder from a USG report but I don't have any pain they were discovered accidentally during a scan for something else. Do I really need surgery or can they be treated with medicine?

Gallstones detected incidentally without pain often don‚Äôt need surgery immediately but should be monitored for symptoms or complications.

I've been struggling with bloating for a while now, and I'm wondering if there's a way to permanently fix this or if it's something I'm going to have to deal with forever. Also, when it comes to seeking medical advice, should I be consulting an Ayurveda specialist or a gastroenterologist? I'm really not sure which direction to take and would love some guidance.
