A member asked:

Is very mild fecal leakage sometimes normal? hadn't had a bowel movement in over 24 hours , wiped because i felt sweaty down there, and noticed an almost unnoticeable yellowish-brownish spot. got a little more after using wet wipes but very small bit?

Sometimes this occurs if you have solid stool in the rectal vault that hasn't moved and liquid matter can leak out around that firm mass of stool resulting in some seepage..

These signs are suggestive of significant Constipation. One is probably not drinking enough water to keep the Digestive System smoothly functional. The OTC Milk of Magnesia as directed on the label can usually help. A balanced diet that includes fibers and probiotics can also help. But if Symptoms persist see PCP / Gastroenterologist.
