Hemorrhoids and anal leakage Posted: 01-22-08 00:41am
I was diagnosed with an internal
hemerrhoid a few years ago, and i've
learned how to deal with most of the
symptoms except for one (of course, the
most embarrassing): anal leakage.
This comes in two forms: sometimes after
having a bowel movement earlier in the day
I will feel some moisture, wipe, and
notice feces on the toilet paper. This
will happen occasionally, and normally
taking a shower after a bowel movement
stops this from happening.
The other is more problematic - even if I
wipe and there are no observable feces
(only some moisture), I almost always have
a noticeable odor around that area that I
think is more prelevant than with normal
people - even if I haven't had a bowel
movement in several hours (as in, the
smell is always, always there). It gets so
that everytime I remove my pants I can
smell it.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Has
anyone experienced anything like this, a
smell with an absence of observable fecal
matter? If so, does anyone have any idea
how to treat it?
Thanks.

I have the same problem. I have started
to feel insecure about sitting closely to
people for the fear that they may smell
it. I am actually trying to find
information or any ideas as to what can
help this problem.
