Question
Hello doctor,
I am 17 years old this year, about 1 week now, I always have an uncomfortable feeling in the anal area. It feels like having a bowel movement, but not being able to. Every day, I go to the toilet 1 time in the morning, the stool is broken, thick, no blood, no pain. So the doctor told me that discomfort in the anal area is a sign of disease? Is my condition dangerous, doctor? I thank you doctor.
