A member asked:
Whenever i empty my bowels, there always seems to be feces on perineum when i wipe. always wipe front to back. is this normal?

Exam: An exam by an experienced gynecologist can provide some answers. Ther could be a fistula present. That is a tract from the rectum to the vagina. I would expect you to notice feces in the vaginal outlet more than just with BM. an exam can help sort this out.
