A member asked:
How to maintain practice of cleaning anus with water after bowel movement? even after washing anus with water, why is their smell of feaces? should you only wash out anus and not inside?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After a few wipes with toilet paper, apply warm water compresses until "clean". Pat dry & then apply a lotion like Balneol. You shouldn't have to wash the inside of the anus.
