Can External Hemorrhoids Cause Stool Left Over In The Anal Opening?
When I poop there is a little left that I have to shake off, I have always had to wipe a lot to get clean, I just had a rectal exam by my genecologist in July he said nothing about anything, I had a colonoscopy 5 years ago and am having another in November and was examined by my gastro doctor in February of 2010. I also know I have an internal hemmroid and probably external ones, can this be caused by them?

Thanks for your query .
It is quite a possibility that both your external as well as internal hemorrhoids are contributing to your incomplete evacuation .
Colo rectal tumors can also cause similar problems .
Your colonoscopy will tell you the correct diagnosis.
in the meantime
increase your fluid intake ,Take lot of veggies and fruits
Take a fiber supplement if needed
Dont sit for long hours.
Kepp moving for your bowels to move
Hope this helps.
