What Causes Persistent Odor In The Rectal Area While Suffering From Hemorrhoids?

Detailed below...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.
Having a strong odor that smells like flatulence without passing gas is due to hemorrhoids issues you are having.
Laceration of the anal area associated with occasional bleeding is causing the smell.
Constipation with hard stool is delaying the healing process.
This is also associated with foul smelling you are feeling.
Stabilizing the bowel movements with ease constipation issue and also make the smell disappear. Here we should start working more. And you'll see improvement.
A further consultation with proctologist is recommended to evaluate the hemorrhoids and decide for best treatment strategy apart diet changes and OTC meds you've tried so far.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further queries.
