Question
Hello doctor,
I am currently suffering from digestive problems, specifically during the day I want to defecate many times (3-4 times) before and after defecation or there is a feeling of fatigue in the anus, At first, the stools are hard to pass, the pellets are small, then they are flattened, and the last is raw feces. I also feel discomfort around the navel, often urinating, passing less, leaking, the urine is yellow and clear, after walking, I feel tired, sore and can't go all the way. Sometimes there is a bitter taste in the mouth, or the feeling of wanting to drink water. Doctor asked me, frequent defecation is a sign of what disease? I would like to thank the doctor.
