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.

View allI've been dealing with this really weird problem where my breath smells like rotten eggs or sulfur and I just can't figure out why. I brush my teeth three times a dayafter I wake up, after lunch, and before bed. I also floss regularly and use nonalcoholic mouthwash. I used to have tonsil stones and thought that might be the reason, but even after getting my tonsils removed, the smell hasn't gone away. It's like the smell is coming from the top of my mouth or maybe even from my stomach. My diet is pretty normal, and I'm maintaining a healthy weight at 6'2'' and 180 lbs. Plus, I'm pretty active since I'm always on my feet at work. What do you think could be causing this?
It could be related to gastrointestinal issues. I recommend trying a medication like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production, which can sometimes contribute to bad breath. Additionally, you can try using simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help reduce gas in the stomach, which can also cause bad breath. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages for these medications. If the issue persists, consider consulting with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been struggling for years with not having a daily bowel movement. It's every two days at best, and when it happens, it's really hard. Why is this happening and what can I do to have more regular and easier motions?
It sounds like you may be experiencing constipation. I recommend trying a stool softener like Colace or a laxative such as Miralax to help with your bowel movements. Additionally, increasing your fiber intake and staying hydrated can also help alleviate constipation.

I've been dealing with this H. Pylori infection and gastritis, and I'm currently on treatment for it. Today, I've started experiencing some light chest pain and a lot of yawning. I'm really worried these might be signs of something serious like a heart attack. Could this be related to my current condition or something else?
no they are not symptoms of heart attack
