What Causes Bleeding And Foul Smell From An External Hemorrhoid Wound?
I had an external hemorrhoid opened by a doctor the other day to let the clot out and decrease the size and now when I wipe to clean up a bit of the blood that leaks out it smells strongly of fish - the toilet paper is a good foot away and I can smell it. Is that likely due to location?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the hemorrhoid. So, it is mostly related to the location. Hemorrhoids are normally associated with extra smelly bowel movements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
