Brief Answer:
Glossitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
From the description you have given it looks like you are suffering from glossitis which like your doctor described could be either due to autoimmune in origin other causes for such a representation of symptoms are Vitamin deficiencies and
thyroid disorders.
I understand that you do not have insurance but further work up is definitely necessary as the symptoms are not enough to come to a conclusion in your case. The bowel issue looks like a different problem altogether, which from your description sounds like a
fissure in ano ( Small crack in the anus)
Here are my suggestions to you
1. Approach a gastroenterologist for examination and investigation in the form of 1.
Complete blood count with peripheral smear, Vit B12 and
folic acid levels and thyroid profile
2. If the above tests come as normal ANA test has to be sent
3. For the burning anus and
constipation here is what i suggest
i. Syp
Lactulose 15ml at night when constipated
ii. Lignocaine jelly to be applied over the anus for pain relief
iii. High fibre diet full of vegetables and fruits
4. If the examination does not show fissure then a
colonoscopy might be necessary
I hope I was of help,if you have any further queries please get back to me
I wish you good health
Regards
