What Does Orange Discharge From The Anus Indicate?
What would cause me to have orange discharge from my anus during a bowel movement? I have no other symptoms - no pain or diarrhea, bowel movements seem normal for me, but I have this bright orange on the toilet paper when I wipe, and there are sometimes small droplets of orange floating on the water.

Hello,
It is possible what you noticed is fresh blood. I advise you to undergo a proctoscopy or colonoscopy to investigate the cause. It is probably just hemorrhoids. But it's worth getting looked into.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pranav Balakrishnan
