Find help and advice on understanding haemorrhoids and the treatments available. Hemorrhoids are amongst the most uncomfortable subjects to talk about, but add to that the subject of whether they smell or not, and even the most resilient of sufferers will be feeling a bit awkward. Perhaps you may not even be aware that you have hemorrhoids, but are increasingly aware that you seem to be emitting a less than pleasant smell from your anal region.
This could mean that your hemorrhoid is inflamed and your body is just letting you know.

When piles become inflamed, the veins and support tissues around the lower rectal area internal piles or underneath the skin around the anus external piles swell up.
If internal piles become swollen, it can mean that you lose a certain amount of control of your anal sphincter, the muscle that keeps your back passage closed. Should this happen, then you could find that you produce a small amount of anal leakage consisting of stool poo and fluid.
It can sometimes be the tiniest amount, but enough to create the offending smell. As you can imagine, any sort of bowel movement is never going to create a pleasant smell, so even the temporary slight loss of control of your sphincter, will have a similar result. If you are one of the sufferers unlucky enough to experience this symptom, there are ways of helping to neutralise the smell. A sitz bath or regular warm baths will help bring the odour under control.
