Sometimes he gets leakage from anus at times he won't notice till he takes off his underwear an smells it on himself &underwear.what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overflow diarrhea?: Chronic stool impaction in the rectum can cause the liquid stool above it to leak around the edges of the hard mass, and out the anus. That's one possibility. There are several others that are more serious, and his doctor should do a thorough history and exam to be able to figure it out.
