A member asked:

My hemorrhoids have enlarged recently and i have noticed yellow-orange discharge coming from my anus. is the discharge due to the hemorrhoids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without examining you. Bleeding from hemorrhoids can cause anemia and ulceration of hemorrhoids could result in infection and that may have happened in your case. Wish you good health!

A member asked:

I've had a little bit of yellow leakage from anus. I think this is fecal leakage due to hemorrhoids (because I've had problems with internal hemorrhoids before), but could it be mucus or a sign of an infection? No pain or other symptoms?
