I am over weight 55 year old women who has a hemmorid. Even though I shower every morning and night, after an hour I smell an odor on my pants when I get up from my chair. What causes this and how can I prevent it?

In order to prevent this bad odor, you need to treat or remove your hemorrhoids and you also have to make sure that your stool is soft.
Hemorrhoids can cause loss control of the anal sphincter, so it is quite possible that your stool is leaking. They can also cause stool retention. The area around hemorrhoids can get inflamed and swell, making the anal sphincter less functional and I reckon that the odor comes from there. You need to treat your hemorrhoids with corticosteroid creams to reduce the swelling, you need to eat high fiber foods and drink a lot of liquids, you should take sitz baths a few times a day, wash the anal area with warm water every time after a bowel movement, and see a doctor and discus the options about removing your hemorrhoids.
