Hi,
Since you have hemorrhoid, the rotten smell may be due to infection at the site or due to constant wet in the region. I advice you to keep the area dry and also clean the area after defecation with povidine iodine solution. Have sitz bath twice a day. Defecation should be done once a day and avoid more frequent defecation.
Consult your doctor once to check for the grade or hemorrhoid and for further management.
Regards
