General & Family Physician 's  Response
Dear welcome to HCM and thanks for choosing us.

I share your concerns as you are suffering for long now. There are several possibilities with these symptoms like mild intestinal infections, parasites, worms in intestine, anal fissures or piles, irritable bowel syndrome, or rarely it could be a cancer if you are in elderly age group or have family history of intestine cancer.

You need to visit a surgeon urgently. Get your stool tests for microscopy, stool culture and sensitivity, ultrasound scan of abdomen, clinical examination to come to a diagnosis. Treatment will depend on the reports like antibiotics incase of infections to surgery in case of cancer. Don't delay doctor's visit.

Keep taking good nutritious diet. I hope my reply will help you. Please write to us or me for follow up queries. I wish you good health. Kindly rate this reply. Thanks
