@@yourfriendlyproctologistI’m on my 3rd day of recovery from my haemorrhoidectomy surgery but the gauze placed in my rectum won’t come off, I’ve had several sitz baths and it’s not working 😭 please help me
Haha reminds me of my poor grandma when I asked for a tampon when I was 12. You'd have thought I'd have told her I lost my virginity... Instead I got one of those old 80s Stayfree Overnight basically DIAPER thing from my aunt. It was horrible lol
Bingo. I so much agree with you about colonoscopies. I used to know two people who died of them. On top of this, I’m concerned about the anesthesia. Every video I see of yours has given me faith in the medical industry as for years I’ve been skeptical. You take information and make it clear and use it in an objective way. Thank you. I wish I still lived in So. California as I’d be in for a visit. Edited to add: Mucous. That explains everything. Thank you again!
I absolutely LOVE you! I think it's totally awesome that you're making these videos. What you talk about is real and we all can relate. I don't know what happened after the Roman Empire when toileting was a social gathering, but the puritanical embarrassment of universal bodily functions astounds me. I'm a retired ER nurse and I can't tell you how many times I've had to do this kind of education and folks were mortified at having to listen to it. It shouldn't be that way.
Hi, I'm 74, and have had some kind of drainage issue since my last colonoscopy. I have made an appointment with a gastroenterologist to check it out. Thanks for the information, as this calms my fears a little. Messy stuff to talk about, but I appreciate your clarity and honesty.
The good Doctor in a previous video did an exercise that I found is more effective than kegels for tightening the sphinxter. I had the same problem of little control after a colonoscopy so recently came across his video which was a great help.
Super helpful and so clear and concise. You are an amazing Proctologist with an amazing attitude! This is a very embarrassing subject for a patient, but I think I’d actually be able to relax and talk to you about all things bums and ‘poop’! Such a shame you are not in the UK! Best regards.
I needed this video. I'm 14 weeks removed from anal fistulotomy. At my 12 week follow-up, my doc said it looked fully healed. I tried to explain to him that I was getting drainage overnight from the fistula site. He seemed confused that I could tell it was from there. Well, I've been following my butt sweat patterns pretty closely the past few months, given everything. Anyhow, about a week before Thanksgiving, I had normal ass sweat patterns after my workouts, and figured I was about out of the woods. Then the morning after Thanksgiving, I woke up to a large "blotch" of watery stain on my boxers. I've had that every night since. It doesn't exactly smell. My doctor basically told me it was impossible to know that's where it was coming from and laughed and told me I just had a sweaty ass. Well, I feel more confident that it is indeed sweat after watching this video. That said, it's definitely from the fistula site/anus, and not along the buttcrack, like my "normal" butt sweat. I also deal with "swamp ass" most mornings as it's not super cold in my office. Really hoping this isn't a long term thing, because I don't remember being like this before everything.
Why Dr. Chungs channel doesnt have more subscribers yet is oblivious to me. 😢. Thank you Dr. Chung for normalizing what is biologically apart of us all. Thank you
Finally found you. Thank you for all you info. Sharing. I’ve had Rhoids and something stg 4 at the very bottom of my rectum Need to do colonoscopy cuz it’s been 10 years and I’m 63. Dad had colon cancer and mom breast cancer so I pay attention. Now on pain med for 6 herniated lower back disc. Which has affected sensation in saddle area so paying attention to that as well and nurse for 30 years mostly nursing home. So know a lot about constipation. Please keep teaching us and sharing cuz it decreases anxiety fear. Sincerely nursemarla 😊🙏😊
Great information , one thing about black poo it can be caused by certain beers such as Irish stout , so don't panic if you are visiting Ireland and tried Guinness , Beamish or Murphy's stout . If you see black poo the next day you are probably fine.
The only time I've been to the ER is after I drank and had red hot cheese puffs and thought I had just pooped blood then had a unfortunate doctor put his finger in my butt and tell me I seemed fine after $1000 for saline. I'll never go to the ER again unless I'm bleeding to death.
Thanks for putting us at ease anout these problems becaue we all know if we see one of thse things our mind goes wild with worry. Some might be necessary but most isnt. Your explanations help all of us because if you live long enough most of these things are going to happen sooner or later.
I believe my doctors are fully convinced that I'm greatly exaggerating my symptoms. My GI told me, after a clean colonoscopy, that "Remember a few drops of blood can make the toilet water look very red". This was after I had asked where he thought the alarming amounts of blood pouring out of me was coming from. I just don't understand. I'm a girl. I have a period. A very heavy period doesn't compare to the amount of bright red blood that sometimes SPRAYS the front of my toilet or the clots or incontinence. I really think I have a fistula. It looks like a large skin colored lump/cylindrical thing with a slice opened up on the tip. It is EXCRUCIATING. Thank you for listening to my rant. 😩
I like how u explain information ,,, I been having hemorrhoids,,,,i sit there and feel like it wants to come out , but it's the rabbit poop ,,,i heard if u press on your thighs ,,it should come out ,, sometimes it works ,, and I sometimes get that mucus discharge ,,,, wish u were my dr,, I live in Louisiana ❤️
@@asmaafzal715 ,,yes,, the inner part of your thighs ,,u press on,, so that butt hole should open up and hopefully 💩 should come out ,,I hope I explained it to u so u can understand
I'll be honest, I'm intrigued by but don't watch most of your videos because the topic makes me queasy. But I have to say, you make the best thumbnails. The Thumbnail Force is strong with you!
I have read about another possibility for mucus with a bowel movement. Cervical fluid (aka cervical mucus) is abundant around the time of ovulation and more may be pushed out during a bowel movement. I read about a woman who didn't realize the mucus had come from her vagina and went through all kinds of unnecessary testing because she thought it was from her bowel.
That's crazy. I can feel it come out of my vagina if it's noticeable and how often could that have possibly happened. I'm gonna go with STD 😂 like literally, I'll feel discomfort then get the glob and be like ohhhhh the parts are doing random unusual stuff again.
@@terrorists-are-among-us, actually, many AFAB people have a noticeable quantity of cervical fluid come out around the time of ovulation, so about once a month. It's healthy and in fact functions to increase the odds of getting pregnant and not a sign of and STD. (Google cervical mucus for more deets about how cervical fluids change throughout the menstrual cycle.) STDs can cause discharge too, so if you have concerns obviously talk to your doctor.
Thank you for the vids, I've gained a lot useful info from them that will help my condition! I do have a question though.. I have an internal rhoid that prolapses & bleeds via a tiny hole in it that causes a jet of blood to spray out with the slightest of pressure almost every time i have a movement and it takes a while to clot/stop, any tips or vid links you can suggest for info and treatment of this issue? Much thanks.
I agree about the blood (from years of experience). Blood IN the poop is much different than blood ON the poop. I used to educate folks with significant nose bleeds or bleeding after a tonsillectomy, that they may see dark maroon stool, and that it was because it was swallowed. It should clear within a few days once the nose bleed, or tonsillar bleeding, has stopped. I have diverticulitis with diverticulosis, for which I've already required surgery once. On my last colonoscopy, I have 2 new diverticulosis. Yay me. However, this is also an inflammatory condition, and when I'm going to have a flair because something has gotten caught in a fold in my colon (I no longer have a sigmoid colon), I will see it before I have pain by the way of mucus in my stool. So, my point is that if you have a diagnosis that you know will cause mucus in your stool, if you pay attention to it, you can get on top of it so you don't require antibiotics. As soon as I see mucus in my stool, I go full liquid, with half of my intake being Kefir, to enhance the good bacteria in my gut. This has saved me from further surgery, because I have little left that can be taken without a bag. I wouldn't care about a bag if that's what it comes to, but I'm allergic to adhesive. That's a problem. It's also saved me from antibiotics that I can't tolerate. I absolutely cannot tolerate Flagyl. I tried after I was diagnosed and even with Reglan, I couldn't tolerate it. Second round had to be Augmentin, and that failed, so surgery. My point is that mucus can be a sign of something to come before it happens, like Chron's or diverticulitis, or a few other things. Understand the sign, and get ahead of it, and you'll be doing yourself a favor.
Doc. I have external hemorrhoids with a bad smell no matter how frequently I wash. Others smell it but I don't. I don't go out unless absolutely necessary for fear of clearing the room. I have no life. Will the smell go away if I have a hemorrhoidectomy? I can't deal with this too much longer. 😢😢
After a major hemorrhoid flare, noticed leakage of a yellowish liquid that had a strong, sardine-like odor. Had to wear Depends to prevent leakage (5-10 ml per day) through underwear. Stopped after a week, but flare continued over 3 more weeks, then subsided. What might have caused the odor
As to the black poop thing ... I had a mother bring her child to the ER because she'd read on WebMD (ugh) that black stool meant blood, and blood is bad. This kid was about 7. So, I started my assessment and nothing lead to any probability of any upper GI bleeding issues. Kid totally healthy. So, I asked "Has he been to a birthday party lately". Mom reported that he had only 2 days before. So, I asked "did the cake have black icing?" to which she replied that the theme was music and the cake had a big, black record as decoration. Black cake icing is actually deep green and can come out the other end looking black when mixing with stool. Pepto bismol can also cause black stool because of the color of the Bismuth, FYI.
?DR. Do you have to wait 2hrs to take Colace stool softener after your med's I know you say to take stool softener with your food but that's when I take med's.
After I wipe I have leakage that's poop dark yellow greenish and it makes me have to wipe again after I already did after the bathroom and it smell nickelie to me . Not much poop smell mostly musty nicklie . Any ideas ?
16:36 whats the treatment please I’ve been suffering of mucous coming out constantly every day and a lot for the past 5 months I just want to be healed
Good man. I m suffering from bold in stool but its gone but still im getting mucous in poop which is sometimes red though.. even having black specks in poop ....@@izayah8745
I have taken multiple stool test Fit test and cologuard total of 4 fit ,1 cologuard have a colonoscopy July 3 im only concerned because I have had bright red blood on paper about 6 times in 6 months. Today I had some mucus I have been on fiber pills for a while. Also had a sigmoidoscopy on March 8 doctor said i wasn't clear enough to get good scope.
Thanks so much for the helpful info. My situation/question is, " I started out as very constipated due to a pain medication i was taking, i began taking Miralax and stopped the pain medication. I still feel like I have some poop stuck up inside. Im able to poop (using Prune juice now). I don’t feel like I've completely eliminated my bowels and when I do go, it's only as thick in diameter as my finger, even though i can get a good amount out. There is no blood, I've watched carefully, and id like to get this resolved as it's been an issue for almost 2 weeks.do you think a liquid diet would help? I weigh about 200 lb.
Hi Dr. I’m from Mexico City, I got a hemorrhoidectomy with one of the so called best surgeons in my city on Nov 10th. In his own words, he “cut off” 2 big internal which caused all the bleeding (which was my main and only issue, zero pain). And 4 external were “cauterized”. I’m now 6-1/2 weeks away from the surgery now and I’m still bleeding after BM’s sometimes. Also, there’s small clots still coming out eventually, and BM’s are still painful at the very beggining. There’s still some bloody discharge after BM’s too. Do you think that’s normal? My doctor hates to be “annoyed” , and my next appointment after the 1 month mark one, it’s on the 2 month mark… Please, any advice is deeply appreciated. Best regards from 🇲🇽
Thanks for sharing your concern. In my opinion you are hiring your doctor to guide and help. I suggest scheduling an appointment now. If he doesn't like it then schedule an appointment with a different specialist. Remember your health is your responsibility. Take care.
I really wish I wasn’t on the other side of the country. I really wish I could find a down to earth doctor like you here in Philadelphia. These doctors here are not listening to me.
I was well on my way to recovery from a multiple marisectomy. Healing up nicely, and what happens last night? MAJOR constipation, a brick came out with a little help from a Microlax, but now I have tons of fissures🤦🏼♂️😭 I'm so darn tired of my bottom end issues and living with severe chronic pain. Macrogol electrolytes and psyllium fibers just don't seem to work anymore. I need better stool softeners. My diet is fine. Stopped eating red meat years ago, got rid of everything that constipates and drink plenty of water. I'm out of ideas...
I am on suboxone, for depression, not a drug user, but I have awful constipation, now I have drainage in the morning, is miralax a bad thing to take regularly? Is it a carcinogen?
Just the video I needed. I had a LIS about a year ago. Every since I've been having a drainage. It doesn't seem to be water.... Its bright red after a BM on TP. and always damp seems like a mucus or Pus. I went back to my surgeon and he prescribed two antibiotics and I am still having the issue after a month of taking the antibiotics. What could this possibly be?
Hello, Dr. Chung. I am a young man, my fissure is in the posterior, no hemmorhoidectomy, no history of incontinence, so that mean I won’t have any incontinence if I have LIS surgery, right ?
Hi just found your channel. I do casual weight lifting and suffer from flair ups of hemorrhoids every time I do squats. I try to cut them out and do one leg at a time exercises. And also try to do lower weight with lots of reps but I still get hemorrhoids sometimes I’ve tried really relaxing that area and just focusing on my leg muscles but it doesn’t seem to help. I wish I could do barbell squats bc they are the best bang for your buck. Anyway. Open to whatever advice you can offer. Or if theres safe leg day exercises I can do instead ?
I have external hemorrhoids but no pain ..... But whenever i sit on chair or anything i get urge to pass stool ... Feels like my external sphincter is opening
hello doctor, i have a problem but none of doctors couldn't help me , i have itching , and it's about 2 to 3 cm inside my anal canal, and some times i feel it's injured, what are you recommending for me ,, thank u so much fro reply !❤
That is certainly a valid point. Another side of story...colonoscopy is not 100% safe. There are complications. A thorough conversation with your doctor is always a good idea.
@@yourfriendlyproctologistyeah, that's the scary bit. I'm freaked out but maybe not so freaked out I want some person to expand my insides then poke around looking for tumors 😭
@yourfriendlyproctologist I’m on my 3rd day of recovery from my haemorrhoidectomy surgery but the gauze placed in my rectum won’t come off, I’ve had several sitz baths and it’s not working 😭 please help me
Guys, I have a question. I have normal and regular bowel movements and I push what wants to come out, but then I feel the need to sit there and strain every little piece out afterwards until I don't see anything else fall out. I'll still continue to see small pieces fall into the water if I strain and I do it until no more falls out because I want to know I'm empty. Should I be doing that and why do I see small pieces when I strain? Then sometimes after straining, I'll feel the urge to go again and it'll be diarrhea. When should I stop pushing?
Don't strain and push AT ALL!!!! 🙅🏼♂️ Just relax, close your eyes, meditate, and just let go of the poop and let it fall out naturally. Do a couple of very gentle, vaselined up small enemas afterwards to flush out the last bits, and then wash. Be very careful with your bottom end if you want to avoid severe issues down there. DON'T PUSH
I'm from India and I don't know what exactly I'm suffering from is it IBS , hemorrhoids fissure or colitis .I went to so many hemopathy dr but don't get any relief.pls help me
What about an odorless, colorless liquid with a very slight oily texture, just enough to cover the intergluteal cleft area? Is this caused by my hemorrhoids or something else?
I also had this kind of liquid when I eat oily foods. But what's this? Can anyone tell about this? Oil like thing when I eat oil fried chicken and oil more foods.
I just got done having a colonoscopy 2 Months ago. Last week I got an unusual mucous discharge and I was very confound and confused about it. I guess I am ok? Haven't yet been bothered.
@@kestonrichards4852 It may (have) initially, but concentrate on the "cooling" sensation and the instant itch relief and you get used to it very quickly, and it just takes a tiny dab rubbed around the area as needed. Really, it's the familiar scent of it "down there" that takes the most getting used to. But the relief it provides is so well worth it! 😌
I have a rectal Prolapse, even though it’s Been 30 years I still hav tissue and blood coming out of my anus . What should I do ? Al my GI s hav not been able to help me thus far because I have only medicade , can you offer me solutions? My prolapse falls out daily and blocks my ability to urinate and have BMs . It’s very painful and Iv had to remove any poop by hand for th past 30 years . Feel awful , can you offer me advise please 🙏 and thank you
1:15 No one needs to tell me that I have hair down there and it is certainly not peach fuzz. Must be nice to not have this unspeakably gross aspect of one's body.
For the past five years I’ve been experimenting this anal redness. I don’t want to say it’s an irritation because I don’t know what that means, to me at least. Mine is become beat red and it warm to the touch. And it’s painful. More of a burning sensation. And this is combined with leakage. As the doctor described above, it is wet with some stool. I have good health insurance so I’m not coming here to ask for someone to diagnose me, but rather for someone to identify with me. I’m going to make an appointment to see a Gastro (this would be the fourth one) for a diagnosis.
You are a national treasure. Answering the hard questions that no one wants to ask, but everyone wants to know.
Thank you for your feedback! Best to you!

It's nice to live in a time when these subjects are open for discussion. The things most parents never found it comfortable to discuss.

After a major hemorrhoid flare, noticed leakage of a yellowish liquid that had a strong, sardine-like odor. Had to wear Depends to prevent leakage (5-10 ml per day) through underwear. Stopped after a week, but flare continued over 3 more weeks, then subsided. What might have caused the odor
Hemmoroid flare??do you have loose motions when you have flares of hemmoroid
@@asmaafzal715 The flare up was caused by constipation, followed by excessive pushing.
Unpleasant odors are certainly normal after hemorrhoid flares. Safest thing is to contact your surgeon to make sure things are ok.
As to the black poop thing ... I had a mother bring her child to the ER because she'd read on WebMD (ugh) that black stool meant blood, and blood is bad. This kid was about 7. So, I started my assessment and nothing lead to any probability of any upper GI bleeding issues. Kid totally healthy. So, I asked "Has he been to a birthday party lately". Mom reported that he had only 2 days before. So, I asked "did the cake have black icing?" to which she replied that the theme was music and the cake had a big, black record as decoration. Black cake icing is actually deep green and can come out the other end looking black when mixing with stool.
Pepto bismol can also cause black stool because of the color of the Bismuth, FYI.
I thought it was the coffee grounds poop that meant you're dying, not dark stool. I have super dark stool a lot 😱
Dr chung your thoughts on laser fissure surgery
?DR. Do you have to wait 2hrs to take Colace stool softener after your med's I know you say to take stool softener with your food but that's when I take med's.
After I wipe I have leakage that's poop dark yellow greenish and it makes me have to wipe again after I already did after the bathroom and it smell nickelie to me . Not much poop smell mostly musty nicklie . Any ideas ?
Hai Dr Chung , Can antibiotics cause severe constipation and fissures. Whenever I take any antibiotics it makes prblm.
16:36 whats the treatment please I’ve been suffering of mucous coming out constantly every day and a lot for the past 5 months I just want to be healed

Good man. I m suffering from bold in stool but its gone but still im getting mucous in poop which is sometimes red though.. even having black specks in poop ....@@izayah8745

Never trust a fart 😂
sigh....TRUTH!!!
You have to or else you would explode 💥 Damn sharts!
Shart
Absolutely correct. Man kind has been tricked by these little tricksters for thousands of years.
Loaded farts. The worst. Especially if you’re at work.
I have taken multiple stool test Fit test and cologuard total of 4 fit ,1 cologuard have a colonoscopy July 3 im only concerned because I have had bright red blood on paper about 6 times in 6 months. Today I had some mucus I have been on fiber pills for a while. Also had a sigmoidoscopy on March 8 doctor said i wasn't clear enough to get good scope.
The doctor in training having an accident in his own shorts ???? FRANK , i think i need to lie down. Im getting another one of my sick headaches.
Thanks so much for the helpful info. My situation/question is, " I started out as very constipated due to a pain medication i was taking, i began taking Miralax and stopped the pain medication. I still feel like I have some poop stuck up inside. Im able to poop (using Prune juice now). I don’t feel like I've completely eliminated my bowels and when I do go, it's only as thick in diameter as my finger, even though i can get a good amount out. There is no blood, I've watched carefully, and id like to get this resolved as it's been an issue for almost 2 weeks.do you think a liquid diet would help? I weigh about 200 lb.
Good question. There are several possibilities for your situation. It's best to see a specialist in your area to be examined. Best to you!
Hi Dr. I’m from Mexico City, I got a hemorrhoidectomy with one of the so called best surgeons in my city on Nov 10th. In his own words, he “cut off” 2 big internal which caused all the bleeding (which was my main and only issue, zero pain). And 4 external were “cauterized”. I’m now 6-1/2 weeks away from the surgery now and I’m still bleeding after BM’s sometimes. Also, there’s small clots still coming out eventually, and BM’s are still painful at the very beggining. There’s still some bloody discharge after BM’s too. Do you think that’s normal? My doctor hates to be “annoyed” , and my next appointment after the 1 month mark one, it’s on the 2 month mark… Please, any advice is deeply appreciated. Best regards from 🇲🇽
Thanks for sharing your concern. In my opinion you are hiring your doctor to guide and help. I suggest scheduling an appointment now. If he doesn't like it then schedule an appointment with a different specialist. Remember your health is your responsibility. Take care.
I really wish I wasn’t on the other side of the country. I really wish I could find a down to earth doctor like you here in Philadelphia. These doctors here are not listening to me.
I was well on my way to recovery from a multiple marisectomy. Healing up nicely, and what happens last night? MAJOR constipation, a brick came out with a little help from a Microlax, but now I have tons of fissures🤦🏼♂️😭 I'm so darn tired of my bottom end issues and living with severe chronic pain. Macrogol electrolytes and psyllium fibers just don't seem to work anymore. I need better stool softeners. My diet is fine. Stopped eating red meat years ago, got rid of everything that constipates and drink plenty of water. I'm out of ideas...
Try prune juice.
@@rosa9079 definitely! Thanks, that's a brilliant idea👍🏻 I'm on dried prunes and fresh dates as well.
I am on suboxone, for depression, not a drug user, but I have awful constipation, now I have drainage in the morning, is miralax a bad thing to take regularly? Is it a carcinogen?
I sent email Doc, for my friend. It’s really serious. Please read. Your Amazing
Just the video I needed. I had a LIS about a year ago. Every since I've been having a drainage. It doesn't seem to be water.... Its bright red after a BM on TP. and always damp seems like a mucus or Pus. I went back to my surgeon and he prescribed two antibiotics and I am still having the issue after a month of taking the antibiotics. What could this possibly be?
Taco Bell $4.99 deal wasn't mentioned.
Hello, Dr. Chung.
I am a young man, my fissure is in the posterior, no hemmorhoidectomy, no history of incontinence, so that mean I won’t have any incontinence if I have LIS surgery, right ?
Hi just found your channel. I do casual weight lifting and suffer from flair ups of hemorrhoids every time I do squats. I try to cut them out and do one leg at a time exercises. And also try to do lower weight with lots of reps but I still get hemorrhoids sometimes
I’ve tried really relaxing that area and just focusing on my leg muscles but it doesn’t seem to help. I wish I could do barbell squats bc they are the best bang for your buck.
Anyway. Open to whatever advice you can offer. Or if theres safe leg day exercises I can do instead ?
It's like an accident ... i wanna change channels, but i still can't look away 😅
I was going to skip it but I just cant!
@@Yolduranduran 😂 We are sick lol
LOLOLOL!!!!! O NOes!!!
@@yourfriendlyproctologist 😂
I have external hemorrhoids but no pain ..... But whenever i sit on chair or anything i get urge to pass stool ... Feels like my external sphincter is opening

hello doctor, i have a problem but none of doctors couldn't help me , i have itching , and it's about 2 to 3 cm inside my anal canal, and some times i feel it's injured, what are you recommending for me ,, thank u so much fro reply !❤
Me to .
@@susanwright1999 😢😢
People should DO the colonoscopy for SURE. What you don't know CAN hurt you. There is no way to know unless you DO the procedure.
That is certainly a valid point.
Another side of story...colonoscopy is not 100% safe. There are complications. A thorough conversation with your doctor is always a good idea.
I wanted one but they think I need to get older or suffer more 😭
@@yourfriendlyproctologistyeah, that's the scary bit. I'm freaked out but maybe not so freaked out I want some person to expand my insides then poke around looking for tumors 😭
@yourfriendlyproctologist I’m on my 3rd day of recovery from my haemorrhoidectomy surgery but the gauze placed in my rectum won’t come off, I’ve had several sitz baths and it’s not working 😭 please help me
Guys, I have a question. I have normal and regular bowel movements and I push what wants to come out, but then I feel the need to sit there and strain every little piece out afterwards until I don't see anything else fall out. I'll still continue to see small pieces fall into the water if I strain and I do it until no more falls out because I want to know I'm empty. Should I be doing that and why do I see small pieces when I strain? Then sometimes after straining, I'll feel the urge to go again and it'll be diarrhea. When should I stop pushing?
Same symptoms...sometimes i have to remove small pebbles by fingers...i m daignosed with proctitis and prolapse
Don't strain and push AT ALL!!!! 🙅🏼♂️ Just relax, close your eyes, meditate, and just let go of the poop and let it fall out naturally. Do a couple of very gentle, vaselined up small enemas afterwards to flush out the last bits, and then wash. Be very careful with your bottom end if you want to avoid severe issues down there. DON'T PUSH
Like what the other guy said, don’t push. Trust us
You're not supposed to push, you're supposed to relax. I massage my abdomen a little to make sure things are moving.
I'm from India and I don't know what exactly I'm suffering from is it IBS , hemorrhoids fissure or colitis .I went to so many hemopathy dr but don't get any relief.pls help me
Hey im 18 should i do colonoscopy
What about an odorless, colorless liquid with a very slight oily texture, just enough to cover the intergluteal cleft area? Is this caused by my hemorrhoids or something else?
I also had this kind of liquid when I eat oily foods. But what's this? Can anyone tell about this?
Oil like thing when I eat oil fried chicken and oil more foods.
@@588-pyukeshkumar5 I don't eat oily foods and no seed oil/vegetable oils.
I just got done having a colonoscopy 2 Months ago. Last week I got an unusual mucous discharge and I was very confound and confused about it. I guess I am ok? Haven't yet been bothered.
Most common would be from the hemorrhoids getting a bit upset. Definitely keep track of it and see your GI if it continues.
So what does dark, spinach green poop mean?
Vick's Vapor Rub works great to stop the aggravating itch of hemorrhoids, and it is inexpensive. I wish Vick's or someone made suppositories, too.
Maybe they’re afraid of someone putting them up their nose 🤔

😂😆👍
That shit don't burn??
@@kestonrichards4852
It may (have) initially, but concentrate on the "cooling" sensation and the instant itch relief and you get used to it very quickly, and it just takes a tiny dab rubbed around the area as needed. Really, it's the familiar scent of it "down there" that takes the most getting used to. But the relief it provides is so well worth it! 😌
I started taking peppermint capsules and was thinking "would be nice if this soothed my bum" 😂
sir can multiple fissure cause anal tightness hatdness narrowing?
It sure can!
Thank you for going where others fear to tread 😂
He’s a real soldier!
Diarrhea is my worst nightmare doctor .what foods not to eat to avoid that ?
All that corn. Where did all that corn come from? 🤔 I don't remember eating corn.
LOLOLOL!
Maybe it’s peanuts 🥜 but I sure thought that I chewed my food better 😝
These last few videos you’ve been making I feel like we are on the phone 😂

Your whole story illustrates how important it is to have an old fashioned flat shelve European water closet pot.
Yep the old German toilet with the front trap. Kind of stinky but you know right away if something is different 😆
Test flights drone, spots neighbor neighbor spreading fecal matter on paper 😂😂😂😂
1:15 No one needs to tell me that I have hair down there and it is certainly not peach fuzz. Must be nice to not have this unspeakably gross aspect of one's body.
Same. Hate when the poop sticks to the hair.
Anal fissure. Leaking mucus and pus sometimes. Grade 4 piles still can't surgery on the nhs.
Not dookie 6:59 😂
Sure enjoyed this production. Any input for us that have no smell receptors working? I have no idea why, but my nose is fairly useless. Thanks, Doc
This would make a great date video when you meet that special girl
That’s called a shart.
Go easy on magnesium citrate.
I wish you were in malaysia 😢
What if the skin is drainage around the outer edges of your butt crack
It’s called a shart 😂😂
For the past five years I’ve been experimenting this anal redness. I don’t want to say it’s an irritation because I don’t know what that means, to me at least. Mine is become beat red and it warm to the touch. And it’s painful. More of a burning sensation. And this is combined with leakage. As the doctor described above, it is wet with some stool. I have good health insurance so I’m not coming here to ask for someone to diagnose me, but rather for someone to identify with me. I’m going to make an appointment to see a Gastro (this would be the fourth one) for a diagnosis.
Dr Chung, can I use Pericure inside anus or it only should use topically ? Thx!
ive been getting clear permanent stains on my underwear for the past couple of days and im kinda freaking out if it could be colon or anal cancer
gud am doc i there a treatment about anal stenosis?i mean an medicine?
