What Causes Anal Discharge With Normal Stools?

Along with normal-looking-brown stool, I had this canary-yellow liquid (seemed to be oily in texture because it was sitting above the water in the toilet) come out of my anus as well. I am only 20 years old and have no history of health issues. What is this and should I be concerned?

Hello,

There are many causes for yellow colour stool like:

1. Liver and gallbladder disorders. Cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis reduce or eliminate bile salts that help the body digest food and absorb nutrients.
2. Disorders that affect the pancreas.
3. Celiac disease.
4. Gilbert's syndrome.
5. Giardiasis.
6. Stress.
7. Diet.
8. Your stool can be yellow because of your diet. Some causes of this are eating foods high in food coloring, carrots, or sweet potatoes. It may also be from certain gluten products or a diet high in fats.

Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
