Why is blood coming out while pooping?
Sometimes when you strain during a bowel movement, it can cause a tiny tear in the skin around your anus, which might bleed a bit. This is quite common and usually not serious. The fact that you didn't see any blood when you urinated is a good sign. I recommend keeping an eye on it. If the bleeding continues, or if you have pain or other symptoms, it's best to see a gynecologist for a check-up, just to be on the safe side.

Why am I experiencing frequent urination and weight loss?
The sudden onset of abdominal pain and burning sensation could indeed be related to a gastrointestinal issue, possibly gastritis or acid reflux due to increased gastric acid production. It's positive that you've already had tests done to rule out other conditions. Since your symptoms persist despite medication, it might be helpful to revisit your gastroenterologist for a re-evaluation. In the meantime, try to avoid spicy and oily foods, eat smaller meals more frequently, and stay hydrated. Keeping a food diary to track any triggers could also provide valuable insights.

Do I Have Reflux Esophagitis with Antral Erosions?
Reflux esophagitis happens when the stomach acid flows back into the food pipe, causing irritation. LA Grade A means it's the mildest form, so that's a good thing. Antral erosions refer to stomach lining sores. Now, to help manage this, try eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy foods, and not lying down right after eating. It might be helpful to raise the head of your bed too. I recommend following up with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and personalized treatment.

Why am I experiencing watery stools and abdominal pain?
The watery stools and abdominal pain can be quite uncomfortable. These symptoms could be due to a gastrointestinal infection like a stomach bug or food poisoning. It's not uncommon to feel tired and have a loss of appetite with this kind of issue. The cramping in your lower abdomen is also a common symptom. For now, it's important to stay hydrated with water or electrolyte-rich drinks like sports drinks or oral rehydration solutions. It's best to stick to bland, easy-to-digest foods like toast, rice, or bananas. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's a good idea to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and possibly some tests to determine the exact cause.

Why am I experiencing sharp abdominal and dull anal pain?
These signs might be caused by a condition known as gastroenteritis which is an inflammation of the stomach or intestines. The severe pain that you are feeling in your tummy and the less severe pain in your anus could result from muscle spasms or irritation. The vomiting could happen because the body is trying to expel the irritants. It is important to keep yourself hydrated by taking small sips of water and not eating anything solid for some time. Rest well so that the healing process can take place naturally within you. In case these signs persist or become worse than before; visit a gastroenterologist immediately for further diagnosis and treatment options.

Why are my periods irregular with excessive flow at 17?
It sounds like your menstrual cycle is a bit irregular with varying flow and duration. These irregularities can happen due to hormonal changes, stress, diet, or even underlying medical conditions. The double periods in a month might be breakthrough bleeding. Back pain and stomach cramps are common during periods. I recommend keeping track of your symptoms and menstrual cycle in a diary and discussing this with a gynecologist. They can help rule out any underlying issues and provide guidance on managing your symptoms.

Why do I have left side abdominal pain?
It's good that your colonoscopy and fecal calprotectin levels came back normal. However, having gastritis on endoscopy and now seeing a polyp while experiencing pain on the left side below the navel can be concerning. The presence of a polyp could be causing your discomfort. Polyps are growths in the colon that are generally benign but can sometimes turn cancerous over time. It's important to follow up with your gastroenterologist to discuss the next steps, which may include further evaluation or removal of the polyp to prevent any complications.
