Done Colonoscopy. Have Diabetes. Liquid Discharge From Anus. What Is The Reason?

Thanks!
I am 75 yrs old male. Just (1-2 mos ago) had first colonoscopy at request of my wife. Things looked OK but I soon began have clear liquid discharge from anus. None of my Drs. seemed to be able to say what this might be and it's getting more frequent and more intense. I'm Diabetic and have been stopping many of my medications (not critical ones) to judge effects bvut so far no positive results. I've been reading the discussion on your site and it seems to point to a Colorectal Surgeon. Any advice will be sincerely appreciated.

Hello,

History of Clear discharge from anus following Colonoscopy.
You're a known diabetic.
If this is iatrogenic there should discharge and incontinence to stools also.
This seems to be more like urinary incontinence due to BPH.
This is a very common occurrence in old age.
I find this answer helpful
