What Is The Cause For Oily Discharge After A Bowel Movement?
Hi - I am not on any medications at all, and have noticed orange oily discharge from my backside yesterday and today I just had a bowel movement and there are floating oily stains/films that don't even flush away (they stick to the toilet bowl). I cannot find anything online on what this could be. I haven't eaten anything weird.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The given symptoms could be due to intestinal infection and it could be protozoa infection. If I would be a doctor for this case then I would try to treat this with tab Metronidazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain
