uncontrolled discharge from anus after bowel movement

HI I got over this problem by getting in touch with an alternative medicine guy.  By changing my diet, and with supliments and vitams, I am free of this problem after years of suffering.   ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed*** Please read our Terms of Use

I turned 50 and my PCP wanted my to have a colonoscopy...I had a visit with that doctor today and my procedure is scheduled for 7/12...I told this doctor of my problem and he stated that he will take several biopsies when he does the colonoscopy...

I plan to show him this thread and maybe he can get to the bottom of this issue...

My issue is not the smelly fishy discharge, but that of it appearing that I have not wiped after a bowel movement and have to continually clean myself...

I have been using the B-Sure Anal Pads from Birchwood Laboratories to help save my underwear and give me a bit of confidence from soiling...

Will keep you all posted...

 

Wow this thread has been going for years. I'm lucky to have found it. I had the same problem for about 6 months until I went through this thread.

Thanks all for replies ..I will try the Metumucil and Inner Health Plus and let you know if is solves this terrible problem...I must admit to getting very depressed about it.....I now dread going to the toilet because of it..I will let you know in about a month of the result.

I had the same problem.  I drink about 6 oz. of prune juice about 2 hours before bed.  About a half hour to an hour later I have a bowel movement.  Yes it is very loose but the problem with leaking is gone.  I'am very happy with the results.  Hope this helps alot of people.

Hi there,

 

I've been reading a lot of the posts and my issue, while similar may or may not be caused by something else. I'm currently 7 months pregnant and have noticed I've been leaking fluid from anus for the past couple of weeks. Sometimes it's been visibly brown, like I didn't wipe properly. I mentioned it to my midwife a few days ago and she seemed concerned I may have some damage to the anal sphincter (as a result of pregnancy). As with many who have posted here, I don't engage in anal sex. However, I do experience constipation sometimes and have done for years on and off. But I've never had this before.

 

Two months ago I experienced insane diarrhea, which is uncommon for me, but I realized it was caused from eating too much pasta. I have a mild gluten intolerance (but can eat bread etc). So, I'm wondering if my mild gluten intolerance has become worse and means that something in my diet is unable to be absorbed and is instead going straight through.

 

I read someone else's post that indicated that the problem may be related to hemmroids. I'm pretty sure I've had one at least once during my pregnancy and once before. If not that, then a fissure.

Hi everyone,

You can probably guess that finding this site has been so very helpful.Recently my hubby has been troubled with leaking from his rectum following BM.I felt so sorry for him,he was quite distressed by it all.I decided to trawl the internet for information and ended up here.I showed him all the replies,and this gave him the confidence to see his GP.Today he was examined and told that he's leaking mucus,caused by piles.Surgery is a bit drastic,so we'll be keeping a food diary and doing the detective work.He was advised to use baby wipes instead of toilet paper,so that's next on the shopping list.On another website,someone uses cotton wool balls for padding instead of folded toilet paper...they remain in place and are more discreet.Also,for the brave folks who need the "hot spot" cooling...another tip.Fill a disposable latex or similar type of glove with water,tie it up and freeze.When frozen,snap off an ice finger,removing it from the glove and insert into the bottom like a suppository.Not tried that yet,so can't comment on how well or otherwise it works.

It's so good to realise that we are not alone with this problem,so thanks to all of you who post...you've made us feel better already.

 

And for Juicy...I've never been fortunate enough to be pregnant,but from friends who have,I understand that piles are quite common for expectant ladies.Pressure from the extra weight carrying your precious cargo and all sorts of stuff associated with pregnancy can be causing you this discomfort.I'd say...trust your midwife,tell her your worries.That's what she's there for.And good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and birth.

 

Somewhere further back in this thread,a gentleman was thinking of using yogurt,but didn't fancy the thought of applying it.Many years ago it was popular to use it to soothe symptoms of vaginal thrush.It was recommended that a tampon be dipped into the (plain) yogurt,then inserted.This was a problem..as soon as said tampon...not the cardboard encased variety...was dipped into the yogurt,it swelled up and was never going to go where i'd intended! So I used a clean flannel.poured a dollop onto the cloth and applied it to the very sore and delicate area.Best done over the bath or shower,as it can get messy.But very soothing,especially if you take the yogurt straight from the fridge.I'm sure it would be just as soothing applied to the rectum.

Sorry to waffle on,hope this has been of help to someone.

The best thing about the internet is that when you have a problem, you quickly figure out that you're not alone! I started having this same problem about 6 months ago and it is so GROSS and ANNOYING! First I realized my butt really hurt, like diaper rash around my anus and just between my cheeks in general. I'd wash my crack like 4 times a day and coat it all in Neosporin, but what finally cleared up the rash was I started folding up a little bit of toilet paper into a square, and then tucking that right along the crackline and over my anus, so that it kept it nice and dry back there. Once the rash cleared up and the skin was happy again, well that's when I realized there was a leakage issue. EW! I was going to the can 5-6 times a day to wipe. Half the time I just do the TP in the crack trick, at least that keeps it feeling clean, but that's hardly a cure. For the record I am 41, and I've never had any sort of digestive or elimination problem in my life. I poop twice a day like clockwork, once in the morning about 10 minutes after I wake up and again around 7 pm. I always wipe with baby wipes and then a quick swipe with regular TP just to make sure it's all dry, so it's always squeeky clean. I have no idea why this started, what causes it, but I'm sure ready for it to go away! Then I read some of you have suffered for years and that's just depressing. I'll have to try the metamucil trick... I know I don't eat enough fiber.

OMG you just described my issue to a T. The itching is driving me mad, though it only occurs after the skin is touched, ie wiping. Then, if I dare to scratch it, it's like poison oak. I literally can't stop scratching it and then voila, it's bleeding. I don't have hemorrhoids so I couldn't understand why it itched so bad. I just assumed it was because the skin was trying to heal from the raw spots and it was just itchy. I'll have to hit the pharmacy now!

I had been suffering from this malady from time to time over the past few years. I assumed that it was a side affect of an operation to repair a fissure.I read all the posts yesterday and immediatly repaired to Walmart where I purchased Florastor, Fiber Theraphy and Cranberry Juice. Last night  I took a capsule of Florastor, four caplets of fiber, and drank cranberry juice. This morning I did the same. It is now noon and it appears my problem has subsided intirely. Great advise you guys, thanks a lot.

I have, what might be this same condition, though if it is the same I have a very mild version of it.  After every bowel movement, within 30 minutes I have to wipe again, pardon the vulgarity but it's like what some term "swamp ass" but I'm not sweaty and it occurs regardless of temperature.  No fishy smell, just smells like you'd expect fecal matter to smell like, only not as strong.

Dear All.

Dear All.

Since august, I have been getting a little bit of blood on the toilet paper after passing stool. And it has been very painful at times, my gastroenterologist said I have an external hemorrhoid and possibly two fissures, he gave me a few different medications to help it and nothing had worked. In about late september I had been getting a clear liquid leaking out (that i didn't realize until you guys have pointed out, that it is 30min-1hr after I pass stool) this clear liquid has a tiny yellowish tiny to it, but doesn't smell fishy. It irritates all of the skin around my anus and even leave flaky residue sometimes and open like sores. A diet change won't help much because I don't eat dairy or meat. This liquid goes on for about a day, or even two. But It only used to happen once every few weeks, then once a week. Now I am getting this several times a week, and I can't even sleep from it sometimes. I have an appointment with a new doctor next week, If I get a fix or if anyone has suggestions PLEASE let me know! 

guys this is called gonorrhea look it up
