It's usually a sign of an infection.  See your doc.

No- this is very normal.  Unless you are having physical problems with urination or performance, then there is no need to see a doctor.

If healthy, an annual or twice yearly physical by your regular doc and gynecologic exam including a pap smear by your OBGYN should be performed.\n\nIf you have conditions that need monitoring or have warranted suspicion (i.e., high blood pressure, gynecologic conditions or disorders), obviously you will need to go more often.  But for a well-woman checkup, once or twice a year should be sufficient.\n\nBetween the physical and the gyn exams, you should be covered for all the important tests.

If you mean what is done during a general exam this is what it entails, at least where I have worked, which was an internist.  Vital signs-  temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, blood pressure.  The doctor will also listen to your lungs, and do just a general head to toe examination.  This would include a rectal exam to check for any bleeding and to check your prostate if you are male.  If you are female he would also do a quick pelvic exam, including a pap.  He might also do a chest x-ray.  General blood work is also done, plus a urinalysis.

You need to see your doctor in person to get a doctor's note.  It would be unethical for a doctor to give you one without an exam.

hmmm....there could be many reasons why this is happening. It could just be the way your system works, or it could be a medical problem like overactive thyroid or even Crohn's disease.  Please make an appointment with your doctor and discuss this with him/her.  It's probably nothing, but they're the health care professionals and this is their field of expertise.  I would strongly recommend finding out why this happens to you.

my doctor has never had an issue with this..It would seem pretty shady to me if they did have a problem with it.

I get tested regularly for peace of mind

I used to think that a physical consisted of pulling my underware down and hopping around like a bunny but I found out during my second physical in life that that is not standard practice.  I'm still looking for that bastard!\n\nSTD tests are not standard unless you request it.  everyone I have had consist of blood work, turn head and cough and check every hole in your body.  I have never heard of someone getting an x-ray unless they have had previous medical problems.

You would need to see your doctor for a proper exam and testing, to determine what is wrong.

Uncontrolled bowel movements, tearing of the rectal muscles, bleeding, increased risk of STD's etc...

It is most likely because of the sick people, germs in the air, and various medicines or chemicals they have there. Have you ever had any of those medicines that smell horrible when you're about to swallow them? thats the most probable reason i can think of. Doctors' offices have many different chemicals in them for major or minor surgeries and just taking care of people

sounds like you have a blood clot or some kind of circulatory problem. With all the health issues in your family sounds like you need to be getting full exams regularly.

Have you seen a specialist about this problem?  I would make an appointment with one if I was you.  I guess it would be like a gastrointestinal doctor.  You could have something like Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea.  There are medications for something like that.  I am not a doctor, but I would definitely continue to go to them until one can help you.  Good luck!
