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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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'm really worried because my SGPT levels are high in my blood tests. I used to drink alcohol weekly, so I'm wondering if that's what's causing it. How can I lower my SGPT levels quickly? Also, if I get my levels back to normal, would it be okay to drink occasionally?
To decrease SGPT levels quickly, you should first stop consuming alcohol completely. Additionally, you can take medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid (300mg) or S-Adenosylmethionine (400mg) to help lower SGPT levels. It is important to also maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and stay hydrated to support liver function. Once your SGPT level returns to normal, it is best to avoid alcohol consumption or drink in moderation to prevent a recurrence of high SGPT levels.

I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?
Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.

I've been dealing with chronic acidity issues for a long time, and it seems to run in my family as both my mom and dad have a history of gastric problems. It's been particularly tough after relocating to Bangalorethings have become quite unbearable lately. I generally take 150mg of Zintac after lunch, and if it's really bad, I take Omez in the morning too. However, for the past two weeks, I've been waking up with a nauseous feeling and get heartburn within an hour after breakfast. My breakfast is usually at 7 AM, and by 10 AM, the heartburn subsides but I still feel acidic. The same cycle repeats after lunch around 12:30. I even try to eat fruit in between. Things get worse after 4 PM, with more acidity but no heartburn, just a burpy sensation. I notice I have gas mostly at night, but it's not excessive. When I take Zintac after lunch and dinner, it seems to help. Could you advise on what else I might do to manage this persistent acidity?
You may be suffering from GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Avoid spicy and acidic foods and quitreduce smoking if you are a smoker. Restrict alcohol intake to a minimum. Elevate the headside of your bed by 15-30 degrees, and do not lie down immediately after having a meal. Try to have smaller and more frequent meals and reduce teacoffee. You may need to go on a long term treatment regimen for chronic acidity, for which you should consult a physician.
