Question 3

I've been struggling with this issue for months. Whenever I stand for a long time or walk a bit, I get this weird sweaty feeling around my anus, and I notice stains on my underwear that match that pattern. Also, when I poop, there's this white foam in it, and it just won't go away. The doctor had me get a perianal ultrasound, and everything looked fine, probably because they only checked the outside. They also mentioned it wasn't a fistula. I'm at a loss about what to do next. Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms, including the sweat-like sensation, anal staining, and white foam in stool, suggest a possible anal gland or fistula issue, despite the external perianal ultrasound being normal; consider seeking a second opinion from a colorectal surgeon or gastroenterologist for a more thorough evaluation, including a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or MRI, to rule out conditions like anal fistula, abscess, or proctitis, and to develop an effective treatment plan.

I've developed a swelling just below my ribs on the right side, and it's been really painful. Lately, I've also been experiencing shortness of breath, numbness in my hands, and frequent body aches. Could these symptoms be related? What could be causing all this?
