View allI've been having some trouble whenever my stool comes out hard. It causes a lot of pain, and then it hurts the whole day when I'm sitting. But when my stool isn't hard, everything seems normal and there's no pain at all. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
The persistent fever despite various treatments and normal test results suggests an underlying infection or inflammatory condition. The elevated CRP (43mgL) and mildly abnormal LFTs indicate ongoing inflammation. Consider further testing, such as imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) or infectious disease panels, to identify the underlying cause. Consultation with an infectious disease specialist or a rheumatologist may be beneficial.

I've been experiencing pain in my rectum for about a month now, especially when I'm passing stool. It's really uncomfortable and I'm worried about what might be causing it. What could this issue be, and what type of doctor should I reach out to?
Rectal pain can have many causes, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, constipation, infections, or even more serious conditions like abscesses or inflammatory bowel disease. It's important to consult with a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, focus on gentle self-care methods like warm sitz baths, increasing fiber intake, and avoiding straining.
