persistent odor in rectal area even after bathing.Anyone have this and find an answer??

[helpbyu]

Hi. this is so embarrasing but I saw a post from yrs back on this site about people who were having problems with fecal odor even after bathing. Unfortunatlely noone really seemed to find answers to this problem although it feels a little better reading that others have had this problem although sometimes even that doesnt seem real. Anyway back to th issue I have this persistent fecal odor that is present even after showering and I do not have poor hygiene habits. this started a few yrs. back and before I had no problems with this  at all. I first started with frequent bowel mvts. like 6 to 7 times a day did have sever stomach pain for awhile and went to emergency room for it one day because of the pain they did colonoscopy and only said they found lots of gas and hemmorroids. I still seem to have to have bowel mvts. alot although not usually as much as I did in beginning but still atleast 3-4 times a day. stool is flat and will at times have mucus in it. sometimes loose and sometimes not but probly more loose than anything but almost always flat. This odor problem has caused me to seclude myself and I have no job because of it I graduated with a degree in Occupational therapy but people will not hire me I get calls from agencies that are all excited and then they never call back I believe this to be due to the fact that at my other job I know coworkers made comments indirectly about it. I am in debt over school loans and recently had miscarriage and have tons of hosp. bills I have no insurance and feel as if this will eventually be break my spirit sort of already has if I do not find a solution to this issue. If anyone has had this problem please post even if you havent found a solution. Thank you

I have no answers for your question but you can't live your life trying to please others at your own detriment;Look for job without worrying about this condition,or else it would paralyse you and you'll probably find one if you persist.Doctors' consultation,research and any kind of help you might need requires you to have money. Goodluck and never give up in life

Baking Soda Really helps remove body odors of all sorts...It's a great natural deodorant because it prevents the bacteria that cause the odors in the first place from being able to do so. You can buy a regular orange box of baking soda for less then a dollar. Use about a half tablespoon use a wet (slightly more than damp) tissue and wipe over the affected area. This works wonders! You can google the use of baking soda for more advice. Best of luck, friend!!!

I have the same issue...people who say to just ignore it have no idea how it feels like to be around people.People around me start making sniffing sounds no matter where I go.Like if they had a runny nose.I'm tired of it.I take showers everyday before going to school sometimes even twice a day and people still do the same thing.Even though people don't tell me I smell I still feel like they don't tell me so I won't feel bad.I don't know what to do anymore.Before I wouldn't have this issue...I didn't even use colone now I spray my self Alot and do everything exexsivley.I thought maybe I'm over reacting so I came one day to school without Colene just had deodorant and people still did the same thing in the train and bus.I'm so tired of it Please Help everyone I ask says no but people still sniff.

Hey. Like the others say, you are not alone. 11 yrs. It went from I can't do anything but stay in the house. To totally gone. To I have good and bad days. Ok let me begin with the cures. They wet feeling you have in your butt, that's when it smells the loudest. I used pure tea tree oil. Not the hair tea tree oil. Get it at walgreens. Put your thumb over the hole flip it one time then wipe it up your hole. You will actually feel this working. Only bad thing is that the tea tree smell is loud itself. It doesnt smell like crap but in the end it knocks out 80% of it. This gave me hope and eventually got me out the house and back working. Ok. Now metamucil. Fiber. Helps get everything out of you and give u clean wipes. It's times where I would be at work. Feel a little funny. Go to the bathroom. Wipe my butt and boom. It's got something on it. This stops that. And antibacterial soap. Dial. If I use regular soap. I would have to use the tea tree oil again because I get that feeling back. Now this will get you productive. But the all out cure that makes it never come back....unknown. I can't even get the doctors to believe it's a smell. If you don't do anything else. Do the tea tree oil. I swear this will make you feel better about life.

The last comment about the guy who found it, check it out

I've also had 3 maybe 4 hemmoroides on the outside of my anal by the entrance. I'm unsure whether it's my partners size so when we have anal sex successfully, somehow I get one, or just from not emptying my bowls when I should?

I've just turned 18 this year (2016) in my first serious long term relationship and started trying out anal sex and that's when I started noticing the horroblely noticable anal/vaginal odours. BUT, my whole life since I was 5, I've always sucked my stomach in constantly unless I'm in bed. So now when I don't suck in, my belly is extremely bloated. I could literally pass for 5 months pregnant. since I've been with my partner the last 2 years I haven't been emptying my bowels when I should, there's been times I've held it in for pretty much a week! I've never noticed it the way it is now with the odour after pooping, it was usually just after sex. I've also had Bacterial Vaginosis two or three times now, I treated it with a vaginal maintenance gel from the chemist. But I've noticed also that lately when I sit for a long period of time with my legs crossed, my vagina smells. I've read a little on Colon Cancer and I think that's what is causing this. I mean when I have a bowel movement that's been held in a little, when I go, it's an extremely sickening smell! I can recall 3 times I've almost been sick from the smell of my own feices. I also think my partner has the smelly feices problem as well, but we don't talk about it... I've never spoken of this before! I thought it was just me somehow! I shower twice a day - morning and night. Perfect example was last night, my boyfriend was kissing me and all I could smell on his breath was like a poo odour! I have put on weight lately, slow metabolism, slightly on the chubby side but my partner has fast burning metabolism. Dinner is about the only healthy food we eat aside from fruit. I have also had a small lump around the entrance of my anal that bleeds when I wipe.. I'm unsure of its from my partner trying TOO hard to get you know what in when we first started... or from not emptying out when I should. It took a whole year for anal sex to feel good for maybe 2-5 mins and then it's uncomfortable, painful and I feel like I could possibly empty out on him lol. I haven't been to the doctors for ANY of this, I've just been so embarrassed. AND, I even thought maybe I had herpes because that can make your labia irritated and swollen for 6-12 hrs which has been happening lately. I've had thrush/yeast infection last year.. I had my appendix removed when I was 13 because it exploded up my intestines and I almost died. I've always had unexplained tummy pains and weird noises. Even my period is all out of whack, it always has been and it's always been extremely painful, I even get bad sharp pains in my lower pelvis during intercourse. what's wrong with me? :(
