Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for posting your query on HCM.
I read carefully all your concerns and understood your queries.
1. Exercises help to tight anal muscles. Exercises needs a couple of weeks or couple of months to improve anal muscles tight.
2.Hemorroids are rarely associated with anal mucous leakage. The most common causes of anal leakage are anal fistulae, rectal prolapse etc.
3. With regards to antibiotic use I can give you a more accurate opinion If I know which antibiotic you have used. Antibiotics that may cause diarrhea and fecal leakage are cephalosporin , penicillin and macrolides group. please can you specify your medical drugs using recently?
Hope it was helpful!
