Diagnosed With Fatty Liver, White Residue On Anus, Occasional Light Bleeding In Between Bowel Movements. Advise?
Hi, I have been diagnosed with a fatty liver. Almost daily, however, I also see white residue appear on my anus, and underwear which at first I thought were leftovers of toilet paper as they look similar, however, they appear in between bowel movements as well which rules out that possibility. They almost look like parasites, but they don't move so its more like residue. Occasionally I get light bleeding during bowel movements. Are these conditions related?

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic. Thank you for your query.
These 2 shouldnt be related and you need to do stool microbiological analysis as this really sounds like parasite infection. Bleeding can be caused by parasite as well but also some other disease such as haemorrhoids or firures and polyps can cause it too. But i suggest to do tests first and then it can be trated on right way.
Hope I have nswered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Regards
