I've noticed something strange happening whenever I use the toilet. After I pass stool, the water in the toilet quickly turns yellow, even though my stool itself isn't yellow. On top of that, I've been dealing with some pain in my right abdomen for the past few days. I got a sonography done, and everything looked normal according to the reports. Could you help me understand what's going on?

The changes in the toilet water color and right abdominal pain are not typical symptoms and could indicate a deeper issue related to bile production, liver function, or malabsorption. Even though your sonography was normal, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation, especially if symptoms persist. Keep track of any other associated symptoms, such as nausea, fever, changes in stool consistency, or appetite loss, and report them to your doctor.

I've been diagnosed with pelvic floor dyssynergia and moderate rectal prolapse along with a small rectocele. My doctor mentioned surgery isn't necessary right now, but I'm wondering if these conditions can actually improve with conservative treatments. What kind of non-surgical options are out there, and what lifestyle changes or exercises should I focus on to manage or even reverse these issues? Really hoping for some detailed guidance on what steps to take.

surgery is advised to the patient.
