For months now my anus has been feeling wet but I don't know if it is. Sometimes my underwear gets wet as well. Are these symptoms for a bowl problem?

    Hi,

    I had the experience, just as you described, a few years ago. It happened for weeks on end, then I discovered that I can stop it if I push the rectum end gently back in place after bowel movement. You have to be very relaxed when you do this. Hope this helps. I know I should have this checked out properly! (just in case there is a hidden problem)

    Very relaxed? How do I do that, should I stand up when I do it?

    Yes, I do it standing up, bending forward slightly and use the toilet paper to push the rectum end back in gently. Practise makes perfect!
