anal leakage or sweaty ass...

my husband has this problem. He also has a lg butt. Doesnt bother me at all. i didnt marry him for how clean and odorless his butt is and i knew about it before we got married. But it does bother him a lot and its embarrassing. So i am trying to help him figure out what to do and what can help. But when we were dating he used baby powder & such. i think it might be his diet. But it doesnt and hasnt decreased my sexual desire for him. Its a butt where you poop from lol what else do you expect. Women have the same problem and insecurities about our parts thats why we have Summers eve deodorant spray and panty liners.

 

Even though I'm a female, the following info would help either sex:  I'm a perimenopausal female and over the last several years have noticed an increase of oily sweat in the crotch area, as hormones begin to change and fluctuate-----a reverse puberty.  At first, I ignored it, but this lead to yeast and bacterial infections in both the vaginal and anal areas, accompanied by an obvious smell, and anal leakage approx 20-30 mins. after a bowel movement (from the yeast growth).  

The yeast and bacteria that live in these warm and moist regions thrive in these conditions.  At first, I was changing underwear throughout the day, using only 100% cotton, but this just didn't work.  I tried over-the-counter and Rx yeast ointments, but they burned tender skin, and the problem returned because of the ever present sweaty moisture.....Prescription antifungal pills worked until my hair began to fall out as a side effect.....and antifungal powders, deodorants, painful overcleaning of tender tissues by enemas and 'wipes' all were just momentary cures, and they never seemed to work more than a few hours, plus they irritated already sensitive skin.  A change in diet to less sugar and higher fiber (taking daily Metamucil), along with taking pro-biotic pills (I take PB8 brand - with 8 strains of 'good' bacteria), helped with general overall health and stool consistency, but still did not solve the problem.

Then, my naturalist dentist, of all people, recommended the following product and it has eliminated the problem of bacterial and yeast growth in the pubic/anal area:  ozonated olive oil.  

It isn't even known by most doctors, so they'll usually give you a blank expression if you query them.

Ozonated olive oil releases oxygen that our body then utilizes to destroy foreign bodies such as yeasts and bacteria----it's the same mechanism our body's white blood cells use to defend against these same invaders.  The olive oil component is a beneficial medium to 'hold' the ozone gas to convey it to our skin.  The manufacturing process produces a very thick ointment that needs to be kept cool.

I apply directly into my vagina and anus and this stops any yeast and bacteria growth, but are still two more steps in the management of the persistent moisture and smell from the oily sweat.

First, shave any pubic and anal hair, as hair in this region retains both moisture and odors.  Guys:  go to a salon where they wax bikini areas, and they'll deal with your nether regions, OR use an electric razor and patiently shave the area----do NOT use a regular disposable razor, or you will have painful problems with razor rash and bumps, leading to ingrown hairs and possible infection in the hair folilcles.  If you are married or have a willing girl friend, have her shave you.  My husband "assumes the position" every six weeks or so, and I give him a full body groom.  We affectionately call this a "3-B-er " (shaving his back, butt and balls), and we end up having a good time over it.  It's a bonding time, as he has to completely trust me, but I love him, and I love what he looks like 'groomed.'  He says he feels cleaner and happier for it.  I highly recommend the Andis brand Edger II Cordless Rechargeable Razor (about $60).  I have used the same one for ten years (changed the blades twice).

Secondly, you MUST address the moisture problem:  use a new generation feminine hygiene pad OR Poise brand incontinence pads (pads!  not the Depends pants).....Now guys, this might freak you out, but let me assure you that these Ultra Thin pads have been re-engineered and are:  1)very, very thin, 2)highly absorbent, 3)very comfortable,  4)very compact to carry, and 5)unobtrusively and compactly wrapped for stashing in your pocket.   I highly recommend the Kotex brand ULTRA THIN regular or long size pads.  They have an adhesive strip that attaches to your underwear.  If you have an aversion to buying feminine hygiene products or incontinent products, you will not control the moisture problem, and thereby continually provide the bacteria/yeast with an environment to flourish.  Order them online if you feel embarrassed to buy them at the store.  Note: Female cashiers usually think you're the best kind of guy to have in their lives if you're taking care of your girlfriend by buying their 'products' for them, so "get over it."

There you have it.

1)Shave area

2)Apply ozonated olive oil (daily or as needed)

Note: I order ozonated olive oil from

 and repeatedly get great service (I'm not connected in anyway to them).

3)Absorb moisture with pad

Last resort:  botox injections into sweating regions stop excessive sweating.....but! avoid botox too close to your sphincter as it may cause it, too, to stop.

 

Good Luck.

My ass stinks

I'm also a 20 year old male. I'm 5 nine and 135 lbs at most. This problem has really been acting up as of late. When I am sitting down I can feel the leakage coming. While reading through these posts, it struck me: i've really dealt with this my whole life.. In the summer, long walks would kill my ass with sweat and I'd have to come home and wipe ASAP. This being since I was like 8! Also, some people get stone cold when nervous, others sweat. Me? I get the strong urge to have a BM. And yes, my ass gets sweaty. I don't get nervous too often, but when I do it still happens. 

Lately, I've had anal leakage during the day. I go to the bathroom and wipe but yeah it keeps coming. No pain, no smell (most of the time), no itching either at all. The TP looks light brown to brown, sometimes reddish. 

It's on and off with me, so it's hard to pinpoint what it is. Here are a few theories:

- I run my business from my home and am sitting down for a long time. I've always had a very simple metal chair (which always stayed cool because of the metal), but for Christmas I was given a really nice leather chair. It's very cushioned. Provides a great warm, soft environment for my ass.. 

- It's winter in MN so yeah it's cold to say the least. I have gotten into the habit of wearing two pairs of pants to guard against the cold. So I have on boxer briefs, very thin pajama pants, and then regular khakis or sweatpants. Again, it's a warm environment.. 

- In general I have spent more time sitting down recently than i ever have in my life. 

- I've started using public restrooms at my college for BMs. I always steered clear of them my whole life, but the restrooms are shining and spotless in the early morning when I arrive (school's empty until noon when all the students start coming in for the later classes). 

I feel these can explain sweaty asses but not fecal leakage, however? Maybe the pressure from sitting down so much can mess around with your system. Also maybe I've caught a bacteria from the public restrooms?

I have about 3 BM's a day. Morning, noon, evening. Again I experience no pain, no smell, no itching. It's just worrying the c**p out of me. Yes, literally! Haha. 

Any ideas or similar experiences?? 

I got it when I moved to florida and never had it before and only when I wear pants and go out very mild but gives a rash

This is not just a male thing--women get it too. It's called Pruritus Ani --google that and you will see the same symptoms. It's also called itchy ass syndrome--and an itchy ass will cause sweating. It's starts out of the blue--with me it was wearing nylon work-out pants without underwear. And since I workout a lot I irritated the crack area. You irritate the crack area--and you're in for a lot of misery. I went to a couple of doctors that had no idea what I was talking about--even a anal specialist. At first I thought it was hemorrhoids--but doctors confirmed that wasn't it. I then proceeded to use every over the counter anti-itch--powders, etc. I could get my hands on--but that only made it worse. Then all of these ridiculous home cures I have been reading on the internet--only made it worse. Finally--after a few years of this misery-- I worked up enough nerve to talk to my Female GYN doctor. So I asked her have you ever heard of Pruritus Ani. She says sure---you mean itchy ass syndrome. I finally found a doctor that knew what I was talking about. She prescribed for me a Steroid --that almost immediately took care of the problem. It's Triamcinolone 0.5% ointment 15gm--that I purchased for $29.00--2 tubes that will last me forever.. Now I just wish I could get back all that money I spent on over the counter anti-itch creams--powders, etc. that I tried. At any rate--don't be embarrassed about talking to your doctor about this--If they don't know what Pruritus Ani is let them know--and don't walk out of that office without getting a prescription for a Steriod gel. It's the real cure.

Me either, I have to spend most of my time on the office chair. Probably it is because of it. But my situation is not as bad as you, however, I can feel it will get worse in future unless I found a solution.

If your affected by odorless anal sweating, try reducing your caffeine. It seemed like there was a correlation for me.

 

 

I have also suffered from this problem for some time now and I've tried numerous ways to thwart it.  What I think works fairly well but only a temporary fix is a "Manpon".  Fold a piece of paper towel 3 times in half and line the intergluteal cleft with it.  You will probably have to change about 2-3 times depending on the situation.  I'm also trying a through cleanse with a deep enema and a Psyllium Husk regimen.  Changing what I eat will also surely help.  Hope this helps you.

Someone a few months ago mentioned going vegetarianism to combat the problem- it doesn't work.  I've been a vegetarian for a few years and it persists. 

I agree with the previous poster. It's caffeine... Started drinking coffee in my 20s about the same time as the sweaty ass started. Now in my mid 40s and have been off caffeine totally for just over a year and sweaty ass is gone (and I feel a lot calmer)  

Hope this helps 

I think it is just that you have a more-active-than-usual sweat gland in your "ass crack" (for lack of another term LOL). All of us have apocrine sweat glands there, which are the same glands that are in our underarms. The odor from that sweat is from the same reason that your armpits get their odor: bacteria collect and are attracted to the sweat, and their activity causes body odor. Nothing to worry about; just keep the area clean and use talc or other kind of body powder possibly, to slow down the sweating and keep things dry.

You can get small packets of male wipes now they are by the male toiletries section in boots chemist, carry them with you, and use them when this starts to happen, all men should carry them, they are really useful.

Get urself some, tri gaurd plus-grape seed extract.. Sounds simple enuf but put that on ur crack mixed with a tad of water or it will irratate.. And can also mix with a drink tastes foul but it works wonders.. Hope this helps.. I did hav the same problem.
