What Is The Discharge From The Anal Area After A Bowel Movement?

I have a 7 year old daughter who took a bowl movement today stool were fairly normal, shortly afterwards she complained about discharge coming from her anal area. I wiped her with a moist towel and it appeared to be a mucus that was light pinkish in color. What could this be?

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post is attributed to either infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.

Presenting with such symptoms, I usually treat my patients with:
1. Pantoprazole + Domperidone preparation twice daily (to be taken half an hour before food)
2. Anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation twice daily (to be taken after food).
3. Antibiotics like Ofloxacin+Ornidazole preparation OR based on culture & sensitivity reports.
4. Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) for maintaining the hydration status of the body.
5. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods
6. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.

If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Gastroenterologist & get a proper physical examination done to find out the exact cause.
Investigations like complete blood count, stool examination & Ultrasound scan of abdomen will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause for the symptoms.

There is no need to worry, your daughter will be fine.
Wishing her a good health.
Take care.
