I can relate to what others are posting here.I am 61,and have had a problem with spotting on my pants that goes right through my underwear.This has been going on for a few years now,and I have talked with my physician about it,and he doesn't seem to know what to suggest,although he prescribed an anti-fungal cream that didn't help. One thing he did ask was if I was passing mucus,but I answered him by saying: how could I tell if all I can see are spots on my clothing? I use the occult blood test kit I get with my yearly check-up,and had a colonoscopy 3 years ago that came back normal.

I am 82 years female, and find that I have anal leakage, which is uncontrolable, and I am begining to get concerned.

Anal leakage can result from the presence of hemorrhoids. See your doc and get the problem checked out.

Maybe this is a result of too much straining from using the bathroom or whatever. If you have seeked medical help and made sure your digestion and other things are okay, then try doing anal muscle strengthening exercises. It takes a little time. You may get better and then it reappears but continue do them. Your body may have to retrain itself to do what is right.
