Question: sour smelling yellowish anal discharge
Brief Answer:
Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Do you have any other symptoms apart from this?
Anal itch? Unable to digest food? Excessive gas forming? Hard stools? Blood in the stools?
Do you have reflux disease / coeliac disease / Irritable bowel syndrome IBS?
The information given is too short to arrive at any particular possibility.
Infection and local anal skin problems come to my mind initially.
