"Embarrassing Problem"

OK this has to be theeeeeeeeee most embarassing topic I can ever talk to anyone about.

However, I am really concerned so I will risk the embarassment.

Basically I am really failing to understand why my bum area always smells. PLEASE dont make toilet humour jokes, I am a thoroughly hygenic person and in very good health. However, it always seems as if I have pumped constantly or even soiled my pants with faeces.

Neither of the two are actually the case, and it makes me very very nervous. For example, I work in ASDA behind the till and whenever I stand up to go for my break or whatever, the chair will always stink of poo even if I have only been there for a few minutes. And NO, there is absolutely nothing ''up there'' which may be causing the smell. The worst thing is, its a running joke amongst ALL of my work colleagues and they think I cant see them pulling disgusted faces. It does seem to get worse whenever I sit down. I cannot go in a car with ANYONE, and if I get onto a bus I have to sit on my own at the back with the windows open.

It has actually resorted to me visiting the loo every chance I can and spraying perfume onto my bum. Part of me felt it could be a simple case of sweating, however I highly doubt it because I never actually do sweat around that area :' { I bath myself twice a day and always ensure when I am doing a number 2 that I am completely clean ;' {

Now I know you are all probably laughing your heads off, but please understand this is a REAL problem I have and it is driving me insane with anger.

Can anyone else smell poo? ;-)

It's not brown and chocolaty by any chance, is it?

Why do I happen to be eating everytime I look at this thread....

*yacks*

I have a hernia. Yey me!

A hernia is an internal organ moving out of it's normal position, but the most common form is an intestine poking through a muscle wall.

A rip in your anus?

*wretches*

I'm impressed you were brave enough to come forward with your problem well done!

cheers Chad you're right!
I contacted the doctor and I'm on some medication.

thanks anyway though.

You can take medication, but running, standing up and down quickly, and bending over may cause it to get worse.

I would see a doctor for a pescription.
