I've been experiencing something unusual latelyit feels like there's a slippery substance in my anus, especially noticeable after using the toilet and washing up. It went away before but has come back recently and feels most noticeable when I'm lying in bed. Im getting a bit worried and can't figure out what it might be. Could you give me some insight into what this might be?
