I had a stomach virus all last week and today i woke up needing to poop i ended up feeling constipated and having really hard, black and big stools. It took 3hrs for me to go and now i am leaking fluids from my butt every 30min feeling like i have to poop. Is this normal?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, although it is not he normal but it the disease condition if it is due to virus then it will take some to come around and if it is not the virus then protozoa infection needs to be ruled out or it can be managed with Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for five days hope this information helps.
