What Causes Constant Liquid Discharge Through Anus?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...There is liquid constantly leaking from my anus. Sometimes it smells like nothing, sometimes it smells like stool. I deal w constipation and incomplete bowel evacuation. For years if I had take a bowel movement while away from home, I would hold it as long as possible or go a little, cut it off and save for later when I would get home. Now it seems my body is doing this automatically. Could this be a contributing factor? I have had a sigmoidoscopy and everything is clear. I also have leakage of gas sometimes. Please help

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to anal fissure. Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Do a physical examination to confirm the cause.
-Use over-the-counter stool softeners.
-Drink more fluids.
-Take fiber supplements and eating more fibrous foods, such as raw fruits and vegetables.
-Take warm baths called sitz baths to relax the anal muscles, relieve irritation, and increase blood flow to the anorectal area.


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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
