Discharge from Rectum / Under Evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Brief Ans-Discharge from Rectum / Under Evaluation
Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
I read and reviewed your query and your health concerns.
Prima Facie, based on the facts, it seems to be from the anal trauma from the applicator of the hemorrhoid cream. This rectal discharge also could be , just a liquefied cream,which you are using.
With the occasional discharge from rectum above causes need to be ruled out.
Other causes need to be investigated by physical and proctoscopic check up-with your doctor/Surgeon.
A physical anal examination and study of causes of for which you are using hemorrhoid cream , would fix the exact reason of discharge from the Rectum.
Welcome any further query in this regard.
If you are satisfied and don't have any further query and are satisfied with this reply, do close this query with feedback comments from You, to rate this reply and service, to boost and guide incoming patients like you at HCM.

I do not use a hemorrhoid cream so that should be ruled out. The discharge seems to be related to some bodily function. Again, it appears to be an oily-like, sometimes it clear and sometimes it has a light red coloring.
Brief Answer:
Consider Proctoscopic examination to fix the Cause of Anal Discharge !!

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your updates.
Read and reviewed your health issues with the updated data.
My IMpression-
On reviewing the whole data,There seems to be Chronic infective lesion causing such a discharge.
Possibility of internal Fistula with draining abscess, Rectal Polyp with infection/ Cancer Ano-Rectal area needs to be kept in mind during investigating such cases like you.This is because, at this advanced age of 67,Cancer possibility needs to be ruled out by proctoscopy /Colonoscopy examination.
Do's Suggested
In absence of any direct physical examination data in your case,Consultation with Surgeon would resolve this dilemma.
More details needed -
Please give more details, if any fever / chills is there?Any constipation is there?
Any history of piles with bleeding in the past?
Any pains locally in anus or rectum?
Since how long you are having this ano-rectal discharge?
Any thing coming out of Anus with this disharge?
Would review more data,in next session to resolve your health issue.
