Why does oily discharge come from the anus?
All processes in the human body occur due to the influence of external or internal factors of nature. Everything in a person is interconnected, and explanations for why this or that disease arose must be sought only in the way one lives, monitor what foods enter the body, what effect physical activity has, and how effective health control is.
Sometimes some health-related problems cause panic and stress, and to avoid this, you need to be aware of many issues that concern this very health.
One of the rare problems that a person experiences is oily discharge from the anus. This, unfortunately, also happens, and quite often.
However, you should not immediately sound the alarm and run to the doctor. Such discharge occurs in people who ate quite fatty, oily fish the day before or on the same day. The variety of this fish is popularly called “Maslyanka”; it is quite common in everyday life, and many citizens of our country eat it. This fish, as well as some other similar fish, contains a large amount of oil, so when it enters the body, it is saturated with fatty acids that simply do not have time to be absorbed. Accordingly, they are removed from the body in the form in which they arrived.
In addition, eating fatty fish promotes the release of large amounts of bile from the body. Its excess is also excreted in its original form, giving the discharge an unpleasant odor.
Eating tomatoes can also cause similar discharge. Each body is individual and it is necessary to select products that will suit only it.
People who have problems with the pancreas should exclude the consumption of these products from their diet.
Sometimes oily discharge from the anus occurs in women who use special diet pills or contraceptive medications. The substances contained in these tablets can cause a special reaction in the body and are released in the form of oily secretions.
If you notice that the discharge appeared precisely after using these drugs, then you need to stop taking them for a while or consult a doctor so that he can help replace them with others.
As a rule, such discharge does not pose any danger, however, if you have any questions, you should consult a general practitioner or a more specialized specialist - a gastroenterologist.

Causes of pathology
At first, hemorrhoids occur latently without the appearance of pronounced symptoms and develop against the background of other pathologies of the digestive system. The disease does not occur on its own, but is always a consequence of some pathology. At first, the patient experiences minor discomfort in the anal area, and the act of defecation is disrupted.
In the absence of effective therapy, hemorrhoids move to the next stage with the release of drops of blood. It is at this stage of pathology that many patients seek advice from a specialist with complaints about their health. Therapy involves proper nutrition, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and taking medications. If the patient ignores the symptoms and does not seek medical help, hemorrhoids become chronic.
The following factors can cause pus in hemorrhoids:

Under no circumstances should you self-medicate, as there is a high risk of further deterioration of your health. Purulent hemorrhoids have a wave-like character, that is, exacerbation of the pathology is replaced by periods of remission. Discharge from the anus mixed with blood is the main manifestation of the complication. Purulent exudate indicates that infectious and inflammatory processes are progressing in the intestines.

How to treat purulent hemorrhoids
Initially, the patient is prescribed short-term therapy with antibiotics, antifungals, and anti-inflammatory drugs. The course lasts no more than 14 days. If no improvement is observed during this time, the patient is operated on.
The drugs prescribed by doctors are individual in nature. The degree of the disease, the location of the abscess and much more are taken into account. Most drugs are available with a doctor's prescription. Therefore, there is no point in looking for suitable medications on your own. In this case, you cannot do without the help of a specialist.
Complete recovery of the patient is possible with removal of the abscess followed by drainage. However, in medical practice this method is used extremely rarely. More often the abscess is opened and drainage is installed. This procedure is dangerous due to the formation of fistulas and relapse. After surgery, a short course of antibacterial therapy with strong antibiotics is required.
The use of drugs again disrupts the intestinal microflora, weakens the immune system, and creates favorable conditions for the further development of hemorrhoids. Therefore, it is recommended, in parallel with the main medications, to take means to improve the intestinal microflora - Lactiale, Laktovit, Bifidumbacterin, etc. As well as vitamins to strengthen the immune system, medicinal teas, homeopathic preparations.
