Brief Answer:
You need to visit a Gastroentrologist for proper evaluation!!!

Detailed Answer:
I warmly Welcome you to HCM. Your continued trust in this health forum supports our cause to help patients in the hour of need.

Normally, one doesn't have smelly anal area after thorough cleaning in the restroom. You are doing way more care and remedies but still in vain. Sebum has a typical smell and everyone's glands at the base of hair follicles around anal area produce that smelly oily secretions (Sebum). But the smell you are talking about seems to be not a sebum smell.

In my view, you have External Anal Sphincter problem. When patients have this issue, they are unable to tightly hold (close) the sphincter. They can have even fecal incontinence or they can't hold a fart when needed and most of the times there is leakage of smelly fecal matter from the anus when farting. If there is some disease of the colon or rectum, that may aggravate the issue.

Bt don't worry. It is manageable once diagnosed properly. I preferably suggest you to consult a Gastroentrologist for proper evaluation. He will run a battery of tests on you to confirm the reason. Diagnostics may involve one or mire of Anoscopy, Anography, Proctoscopy, colonoscopy according to the Physical examination and they can find out the cause. Management goes accordingly.


Hope it helps. Feel free to consult me back anytime for further assistance. If satisfied, give me your generous 5Star rating and don't forget to click on Close The Discussion.

Brief Answer:
Follow the remedies as detailed for reducing the sweat from the glands !!!

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for putting up a follow up query. Your trust in this health forum is all that boosts us up to provide you continued assistance with the best medical care.

As detailed before, the Sweat you are talking about is all from the sebaceous glands that are present on the base of every hair follicle. This is called Sebum and is an oily secretion and has genetics involved in its production. That's why some have more some get less production of sebum by their body.

Hormonal impact on sebum production is well understood and Testosterone is one of them. More testosterone, more sebum production. We can reduce significantly this hormonal impact by reducing its conversion in peripheral tissues to a more potent form (DHT). Medicine we use for that is FINASTERIDE by mouth.

Other factor is blood sugar levels. You need to keep a normal sugar levels. Continuously deranged and higher sugar levels in blood secretes more and more Insulin+IGF-1. This in turn fastens the production and function of Male sex hormones (named androgens) and the androgen cause increased sebum production. So, maintaining a normal and steady levels of blood sugar is necessary for normal sebum production.

Taking high amounts of dairy products also cause a more sebum production.

Other remedies:
Green tea, Omega 3 fatty acid foods are very effective for your problem.
Saw Palmetto, Argan oil and Sesame seed oil are all helpful for this issue.
Use mild soaps like DOVE.
Take plenty of clean drinking water.
Healthy and balanced diet.
Manage your stress, remain physically active, lose weight and remain healthy.
One Multivitamin a day having Zinc in it will help you get better.
Sleep well and proper rest is necessary for you.

You may consult your Physician for discussing these points with him. I still insist you to for a repeat Consultation with a Gastroenterologist as you already have a Polyp history. It is mandatory for you to make an appointment as soon as possible.

Hope I answered all of your queries. Let me know if you have further clinical concerns or doubts. I will be more than happy to get back to you.
