Thank goodness! I knew I couldn't be the ONLY one in the universe! My problem is just the dampness. I have liquid to gel-like mucus that is clear as can be daily, as much as a couple of tablespoons worth at a time escape - horribly distressing. Have been through colonoscopy, stool tests, etc. I think it must be internal hemorrhoids or internal prolapse of the rectum (But WHY hasn't my GI specialist doctor mentioned those things as what's wrong?!) Keeps pursuing irritable bowel, colitis, diarrhea. I am more constipated mostly but the clear liquid/mucus just keeps right on flowing AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
I guess I'm not much help, but you're not alone...
Ahhh! Now I'm very frustrated. Went to have my 'very large' internal hemorrhoids removed today, only to be told by the colorectal specialist that my hemorrhoids are NOT very large and should not be removed...also said my symptoms are not caused by hemorroids - but after examining me, cannot find a cause (said he expected to find a fistula). So now I'm stuck with the hemorrhoids AND the discharge, and still am clueless as to a cause. If anyone has any insight (or same experience), please let me know. thanks,

Hmm, i'm kind of suprised that your doc told you that hemmorhoids can't cause those symptoms. My gastro doc assured me that those are pretty typical symptoms of hemmorhoids, the only one that doesn't sound familiar is the smell, but that could be just from the dampness. Strange...
Don't worry, if you're getting the hemmoroids removed, your symptoms should disappear. Your symptoms are pretty common with hemmorhoids, especially if yours are large. The dampness is very common. I'm sure that the smell is just from the dampness, and that should go away too. I have that gross discharge, i know for sure thats from the roids. It'll be gone soon!! :-)
hope i've made ya feel a little better!
