Seriously man...so fortunate you wrote that post on 3/8/2007. Can't even tell you how lost I've been for 2 yrs trying to figure out why I have virtually exact symptoms you wrote.
Just a quick note to say hi! You wrote this last year, but I just gotta say u r too young to have this stuff going on. You need a lifestyle overhaul - colon cleansing - anti-yeast diet - add exercise - and some good clean herbal remedies. I'm not a Dr. but health is my passion and I have studied "alternative" medicine for 30+ years. DC from AK
I was discussing the issue of anal leakage with my son who also suffers from it. He'a a smoker. He said he was taught in high school that once you start smoking cigarettes, the little hairs in your lungs are damaged and in order for the lungs to cleanse itself properly the lungs cause a phlegm that if not spit out thru the mouth will enter the digestive system and tends to excreet from the anus mostly during the night. The phlegm causes itching which can cause tears in the skin that will bleed. I know this is what I had because I quit smoking and within a month the problem went away. The hairs in your lungs will need time to grow back so after quitting you may still have some time with the anal leakage until you heal.
