Brief Answer:
Possible bowel infection...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read your medical data and understood your concerns.
Having bad odor from anus could be related to possible intestinal infection:
- candida
- intestinal protozoa
- frequent bowel movements (due to bypass surgery).
I suggest to:
- keep a good anal hygiene
- do cut/shave the local hair and clean it well with warm water and soap (especially after each bowel movements)
- get your stool examined for ova/parasites
- do the culture of stool for candida and get properly treated
- take simethicone for bloating
- take probiotics to optimize bowel flora
Hope it was of help!
