Hi do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thank you for your
I understand your concern
Well looks like not much to worry
Need to get stool occult blood done on three samples if positive or if you see blood in stools or if you have accompanying weight loss loss of appetite fever efc may need to undergo an colonoscopy to look for the cause.
One or two pus cells in stool are normal and not much to worry about.
Possibly you have a sensitive intestine.
In addition worthwhile getting some basic tests like complete blood count thyroid function tests done too.
Try following things and see how you feel
Take lots of curd butter milk and fiber in diet
Go for regular walk
Avoid eating outside if possible
Avoid stress
All this will will help you in long run too.
Hope this answers your questions
Wish you a speedy recovery
Happy to help
