Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I've been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. Why do I feel uncomfortable after having a bowel movement?Doctor's answer:
This could be perianal eczema, or it might also be caused by itching due to parasites like pinworms. So, it's best to visit a colorectal specialist for a check-up first. If everything is normal, it's still worth considering parasites, and you can have a stool test done. A hernia is a weak or torn area in the abdominal muscles, causing fat tissue or organs like the intestines to protrude through this spot, forming a noticeable bulge under the skin with discomfort and pain. Symptoms are more pronounced when standing for long periods, during bowel movements, or when lifting heavy objects. There is no medication to treat a hernia; surgery is the only option to repair the defect.
