Is anal leaking a common or rare symptom of anal cancer and how common is anal cancer in the us?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common or not.: Doesn't matter. Anal leaking can be a sign of anal cancer but there are many more causes of this sympotm. See your doctor and have this issue evaluated. Anal cancer can be cured but it needs to be found early. Remember farrah fawsett major. Tragic case for a curable disease. Learn from her. I don't know all her details, but her death can teach us a lesson.
