It seems that you have encountered some abnormal complications related to your colostomy or you are constipated. Your anal discomfort and the smell and itchiness are occurring due to the feces that have collected in the damaged area in your rectum. That can occur when the stool makes an unplanned detour. In view of the fact that classical treatments such as enemas and laxatives are of no help; it is time to speak to your care provider for other possible options, like diet modification, stool softeners, or special procedures.

Napthelene is poisonous and can severely damage your body. Seeking immediate medical attention is crucial. Call emergency services or visit the nearest hospital without delay. Do not hesitate, as prompt treatment is essential in such situations.

online Doctor Dashboard / My Health Queries / Query Thread Query Thread Answered Your Query8 hours ago Consulted for: Mr.HARSHA K N (Myself) , Age: 22, Gender: Male Hello, I am Harsha K N In december 14th 2023, I got admitted for frequent bowel movements with mucus for whole night. I got colonoscopy done on 15th dec in which they indicated it as "Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis" and they had suggested mesacol OD and SR fil enema . In the 3rd follow up on 21st march 2024, they did a sigmoidoscopy and there it was said as "ulcers in rectosigmoid are 75% healed and in rectum it has healed completely, and also in the indication they have mentioned as "healing SRUS". So i got a bit confused about my condtion that it is' ulcerative colitis' or 'SRUS'. And also it would be helpful if got an explanation of difference between UC and SRUS because i could not be able to find out.

Male | 22

UC and SRUS have some things that are the same, but they are a bit different. UC impacts your big intestine, making it red and sore. You may get loose poop, belly pain, and blood in your poop. SRUS often causes bleeding from your rear end, gooey discharge, and trouble controlling your poop. Meds that reduce redness help with UC, while SRUS may need food with lots of fiber and poop softeners.

Female | 24

It’s understandable to feel concerned about discomfort under your left breast. This sensation may stem from various causes, including muscle strain, especially if you've been coughing frequently. Asthma and related coughing can lead to temporary discomfort in the chest area. Since you’ve noticed this for several days, it’s wise to monitor any changes. Consider gentle stretching or heat application for relief. However, if the pain persists, worsens, or if you experience other symptoms, please consult a physician for a thorough evaluation.

Female | 30

There are several possible causes for this, including eating too much or too quickly, or certain foods not reacting well with your stomach. Do you find that it gets worse with particular foods? Try having smaller meals at a slower pace and see if there’s anything that consistently triggers your stomach ache. If the problem persists, it would be wise to consult a gastroenterologist.

I am suffering from incomplete bowel evacuation, inconsistent urination and sialorrhea since October 2017. I underwent most of the checkups and tried various remedies, but to no avail.

Male | 25

Incomplete bowel evacuation, inconsistent urination, and hyper-salivation can be caused by various issues such as nerve problems or muscle weakness. See a specialist who is capable of conducting the necessary tests and treatments to find out the actual cause of the problem. Medications or physical therapy may be among the many treatment choices to help you in your journey to recovery.
