Q: Excessive wiping

asked by: sgw1064 on September 5th, 2008

I have a bowel movement once a day and usually have to wipe numerous times after. Sometimes needing to change underwear 2-3 times a day due to skid marks. I am 51 years old and my Doctor seemed to think my age was the reason. Any advice?

Do you often have the sense of incomplete bowel movement?
Are you suffering from hemorrhoids?
Do you usually get itchy in the anal area?
