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.
