Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about persistent anal discharge. Though not a potentially life threatening condition, it is annoying and I will like to see this checked out. Consult your gastroenterologist on what the possible cause of this so that it cab be addressed accordingly. No one wants to live having to deal with continued anal discharge, even in very minute volumes and more so when the exact cause of this is not known.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
