I've been experiencing anal pain for almost 2 years, which comes and goes, and it feels like a stabbing pain during bowel movements. I'm a 30-year-old male and have noticed occasional red stuff in my stool, which I initially thought was related to the red drinks I was consuming. I've been checked for hemorrhoids and anal fissures, but nothing was found. What could be causing this pain, and should I be concerned about colon cancer?

If someone had a bacterial infection like urethritis and took an antibiotic to heal it, would the antibodies that fight off the infection drop, or would they stay the same?

I've been having very bad-smelling gas and slight pain in the upper right abdomen. What could be the cause and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

I have severe gastritis symptoms, including attacks, weakness, back pain, neurological issues, rapid heartbeats, and muscle spasms. My doctor scheduled an endoscopy for 6 weeks from now, but I'm currently taking omeprazole. What additional steps can I take to manage my symptoms and what further tests should be considered?

I have had a lot of X-rays and CT scans in my lifetime, totaling about 57 mSv. I am concerned about exceeding the recommended lifetime limit of 100 mSv. I have upcoming appointments for a spine X-ray, a calcium score test, a mammogram, and a hip X-ray. What should I do?
