Very Embarrasing - Woman with Skid Marks

Hi,

This is so embarrassing, but I don't know what to do. I am a lady in my mid 30s and I have issues with skid marks in underwear.. And not the discharge stains, the poo-ey boo-boo skid marks. The crazy thing is this only started in the last 4 years. I researched this and I know this is typically a man's problem, so I am just outdone. I have so many typical man problems to be a woman, but I guess that's another post. Anyway,  I wipe my hiney until it hurts and until I can get a couple of consecutive clean wipes (Yes, I go through approximately 2 rolls of toilet tissue every day), and after I return the bathroom in hour or so, it's like I never wiped. Also, sometimes after I poo, nothing wipes off on the toilet tissue, just wetness, like a discharge or something, but as I said before, after I return to the bathroom within the next 30 min to an hour, it's like I never attempted to wipe. Very weird. I never had this problem as a kid, teenager, or young adult, but now I have it. And since I have been having more of these skid marks, I have been having more yeast infections that smell like bum. Yuck-y. Straight disgusting. It is so embarrassing. Doctor can't figure it out.Has anyone experienced this?

Definitely let us know what you find that works for you.... some people can be so constipated that they have bowel drainage so I am curious as to what works or what might be the cause.  Look forward to your follow up.

Thanks for your comments. Hopefully I will find a smart obygn who will know what to do.

@seattlemom2plus. I read somewhere that diet can affect anal drainage. It's worth  a shot to try a new diet to see if that works.

Thank you both again!

Do you or have you had any issues with constipation where your bowels are not emptying out completely?  Have you tried switching up your diet to see if that has an impact?  Our son was severely constipated and had an impacted bowel and was having drainage.  I initially thought it was diarrhea but it was actually just his bowels being backed up.  Keep us updated, I am sure a lot of people would like to hear the results to this.

Ok so I havent been thru anything like this, but maybe you should try talking to an obgyn about it. It kind of sounds like you may have a little bit of some loose bowel problem i dont know. But that would be my suggestion. And it makes sense that the yeast infections increased it just means that things arent stay that clean down there. Cant really do anything about that till you figure out how to fix your other problem. Sorry couldnt be of more help. Also maybe go see a colon expert or something.
