Poop jokes aren't my favorite jokes, but they are definitely number 2.
That's a solid joke

This man doesn't let anyone or anything get in the way of truthfully trying to help all with this subject... definitely a great doctor and genuine human being
this man seems so chill for dealing with assholes all day.
You know we all poop and I am not sure why so many people are afraid to talk about these things. We need more doctors like this.
Oh, poop!
Especially because poop is really just our body pretty much composting what is left over from our food. Dirt is actually similar to poop, it's plant poop which is just basically fine particles of dead plants and other things. Poop makes the world go round whether we like it or not. Some mushrooms literally grow in poop (which is why I always cut off the stem).
Right! Normal human bodily functions should be discussed and treated as such. We all fart, we all poop, we all pee, a lot of us get hemorrhoids (especially women after childbirth). We all get streaks on our undies now and then. It's all a part of being human and should be treated a such.
I don't think girls poop.
Kim Jong Un doesn't poop
Using water is sooo much cleaner, comfortable, safer, efficient and satisfying!
Maybe so, But not everyone can do that and it doesn't matter how clean you are even with water. If the poop is soft, A few hours later it will ozze out thus possibly causing skid marks.
No wonder western folks well known for their stinks
@@andrewanderson3572 you can buy a bidet seat that connects to the same water supply as the toilet. They are only slightly more expensive than a regular toilet seat.
My guy, did you miss the points where he talked about : the anus is 1.5in long with crevasses in which soft poop will get, friction which will get left off poop to go down no matter what, not scrubbing deep to not hurt and avoid harming it ? In that matter i guess the two solutions are equivalent, in the end morality is : you'll have a dirty a-hole no matter what, so chill and stop overthinking it, that's why underwear are for.
@@andrewanderson3572 you know what you guys are kind of nasty if you still are having skid marks on your underpants as an adult.
As a woman diagnosed fairly recently with IBS, this man is out here doing the lords work talking about issues most people are too embarrassed to address.
IBS is no joke. Very painful. However, after suffering from it myself for over 6 months I saw an acupuncturist who concentrated the treatment on the abdomen which gave instant relief. After 6 visits I haven't suffered from it since. Definitely recommended.
IBS was getting worse and I felt sick everyday. I had the thought,”maybe it something I am taking I am taking. Supplements or blood pressure meds. So next thought was BP meds.so I decided not to take it for a few days. Next day it stopped. Still don’t suffer 6 months later. BP ok. No doctor ever helped me .
This video deserve a Nobel prize.
The conversation everybody wants to hear but nobody wants to have. Thank you.
Just left the doctors office, where I didn’t mentioned my “itching problem” out of embarrassment. And was immediately recommended this video. The UA-cam mind reading program really doing me a solid 😭😭
A soft solid 😂
Solid is okay!
Not having anal sex really helps too
What about poop with very creamy peanut butter consistency, It takes a lot of wipes to clean as good possible with toilet paper. 😓
Itching down there is the worst!! The cream is a life saver! ❤
Just want to say, thanks for the info doc! I just want to say to all the people watching this man, LISTEN TO HIM. I had a hemorrhoidectomy about a year ago. I have had broken bones, got a piece of metal stuck in my thigh, I used to lance my own subepidermal cycts and I have never experienced so much pain in all my life. I will do ANYTHING to not go through that again. And its not even the surgery itself. I got home and I hurt, sure. But then I had to poop. I almost passed out. Thank baby Jesus for Sitz baths and epsom salts. This happened for 2 weeks where I would see stars when I pooped. Grown ass man crying because I had to poop. So when this this man tells y'all do this or don't do this to avoid hemorrhoids LISTEN TO HIM.
Thank You
I hear ya!
From the sound of things dude sounds like you should be listening to him let him do the surgery
OMG I am so sorry but you made me laugh sooo hard I snorted! Your experience is BRUTAL but hilarous!
I realize it’s all the nerves in that area, but am thinking it’s like a 2 week event you had to go thru similar to the worst moment of childbearing - the excruciating nerves screaming in pain as if electrocuted 😬
New Fear Unlocked 😮😮😮
I just realized that some people really need to hear this out loud because they didn’t grow up in an environment with people who could’ve taught them…. Thanks Doc!❤
I have a very hairy bottom, so toilet paper alone is a nightmare. I've been using a handheld shower head for 20+ years and it's life changing. You can also get a portable bidet when you're on the go. The hand shower or bidet basically eliminates friction which eliminates many issues that can come up in that area. Also, I somehow seemed to have trained my body to go in the morning before I shower which is a massive help.
They have clippers you can use for that hairy bottom
This is the best way. 👌
Have you ever tried nair?
there are also options to not have hairy bottom. That also helps a lot
Bidets are lovely. Highly recommend. Doesn't entirely eliminate need for TP, but is soothing and gets rid of most of the mess.
Not the answer we wanted, but the answer we needed❤
lol
Wow for years-I mean YEARS I couldn’t figure out why when after going and wiping I never seemed to get fully clean or like you said about an hour later I was still showing stuff down there. I felt like I must have missed a major lifestyle teaching or was just messy. Thank you for this super informative and helpful post and the correct way to wipe.
yeah dude i thought i had some health issue or something. I didn't realize this was just normal human shit... no pun intended.
Same
I think you guys DO have some issues with how your bottoms work.
I'm 30yo, I never had anything leaking down there, ever, my underwear is always clean. This is really shocking to realize just now how many people have this issue
This is a great video! The docs sense of humor is infectious. Nothing gross about discussing something every living thing must do and how to best take care of our hygiene (and health) after we poop. 🤷♂
I'm 74 years old and have never heard anything so truthful and reassuring. I have these situations but have NEVER talked to anyone about them, even my proctologist. I'm so glad you made this video. I feel normal now to know what I experience is the norm.
I’m also 74 and agree with everything you wrote.
I'm also 74 and I don't remember how I got here nor know how to get out...

Am I too young for this 'group' (I'm 70) -
I seldom have itching - 'in the area'
but I have an anal 'prolapse' (been there since the '70's!😮) - (& just a couple of internal 'piles') & have constipation issues, but _occasionally_ the '_complete_' opposite, (which is _extremely_ & _embarrassingly_ 'nasty')... Fortunately my daughter is also my carer & she 'copes with me magnificently'...
I wish she _didn't_ _have_ to, but (...or should I say, butt...she does!)

I’ve gotten into the habit of doing a safety wipe the next time I’m in the bathroom. This has practically eliminated skid marks.
I’ve treated myself to a courtesy wipe, myself, many times!
Practically?
@@banjopete Well, nothing's 100%
I call it a recheck
Use a liner. Lol
Omg! His skid mark comments are priceless! Love the honesty 😂❤
OMG. So validated, affirmed, and normalized.... THANK YOU so much for this video. It helps me feel more normal, and to develop better wiping skills. Long time hemorrhoid sufferer. The hemorrhoids add another layer of concern around wiping that might be worth discussing!
Completely eliminate eating plants and eat only meat (animal-based food).
This is false! Whenever I use wet wipes or wash I never have skid marks! And also I stay fresh the whole entire day! What this doctor encourages is efing nasty and disgusting! Also toilet paper is the worst material to wipe ur ass! It never cleans fully… idk I don’t trust what he is saying 🤮 can’t imagine what his wife have to deal with 🐷
@@DS-oi4wl that seems counterintuitive. The advice is usually to increase fiber intake which comes from vegetables. While meat by itself is hard on the intestinal tract. Meat based diet is probably worse for your bowels in general while reducing meat and carbs and replacing them with vegetables seems like the way to go.
It might surprise you to hear this but meat actually has a form of fiber that can help with bowel movements. Carbs fundamentally lead to health issues systemically Even if it does have fiber.@@thomasfevre9515

Ever heard of bidet toilets and washlets? Remember TP alone cannot ever do the job. TP is good for drying up after the bum is cleaned with a water stream. Talking about hygene not just cleanliness. Once used a washlet of bidet, you can never look back.
@@yourfriendlyproctologisthave y’all come up with a treatment for older ladies whose episiotomies done 1970’s and before, were involving the sphincter? Instead an O sphincter it’s a U 🤷♀️
I’ve never seen this creator nor have I ever searched this topic, yet it came up on my feed as I’m currently sitting on the toilet. UA-cam/Google is getting really good with targeted videos and ads!
😂😂😅
Really excellent information about 'taboo' rarely talked about, but at the same time so natural and necessary. We all know what you're talking about! It's just that most of us wouldn't talk about it with anybody let alone broadcast it. Your delivery is superb and your humour is so real and infectious!
Man I wish you weren’t on the complete other side of the US. I’ve been suffering from bottom issues ever since I was a teen. Just turned 38 today and it’s the worst it’s ever been. The one time I saw a specialist a couple years ago they told me I was in great bottom health and that “all I have” is a small internal hemorrhoid and that it was to small to do anything about and then I was rushed out the door. No good conversation like this. He made me feel embarrassed for even complaining cause he’s seen so much worse. But this keeps me up at night, it bothers me all day at work, it’s my birthday today and Im watching UA-cam videos for relief. So it’s not a small thing to me. I feel like compassionate and empathetic doctors like this are so rare and hard to find.
As a Registered Nurse, I found your presentation great.
If only children could learn from all of this prior to their adulthood ?
Just imagine how much more effective health education would be on the system Dr ?
I wonder how many illnesses would be prevented. It’s only been since the 1800s that medical professionals in the west have used soft and water on their hands prior to surgery even. That was a huge step at the time. And strenuously resisted! Maybe this is another leap forward in medical hygiene for everyone.
ever heard of bidet toilets or washlets? Toilet paper does NOT do the job.TP is good only for drying up after the water stream. Do yourself and your family a favor and install a bidet kit to your toilet.
did we really need to know you are a registered nurse? had you not been , would you have not found the presentation great.??
@@DigitalCity-sj4esShe is saying she is an RN to validate the accuracy of the presentation. Laypeople are frequently misled.
@@lightworker4512 still does not matter.
I love that you're so open about it. It happens! Not every single day, but it happens. Thank you for not making me feel dirty or abnormal. 🙂
You are absolute monster. helloooooooo. How can you be dirty down there tf????
Awesome! Putting it all out there! Great job sharing information about an awkward topic, being fully human, using common language - terrific!
Thank God for your channel man. Not a lot of people want to address such an issue that many people suffer from silently!
Hahaha...quite funny! But I'm telling you, an automatic bidet is the WAY TO GO! It takes care of all the issues the doctor talked about in the video and leaves you completely clean, fresh and dry down there. No skid marks, no hemorrhoids, no wiping, no itching, no scratching, no seeping, no smelling, no toilet paper, no insecurities during your everyday routines. I got mine about a year ago and every day I keep kicking myself in the butt (no pun intended) for not having gotten one sooner! Those Japanese are lightyears ahead of us in bottom care and health.
I have an electrical portable bidet, does the job perfectly.
I missed My bidet since I moved into a very small house . I believe every house should be fitted with them as standard
No sh*t. I used one in Japan, bought one when I got back to the US. I absolutely hate pooping away from home now.
And the French ,when I bought one 40 years ago to fix in my larger house ,I also had a corner bath which were very new concept at the time ,my friend who worked in plastics was so taken back he started producing them. He’s a millionaire now ,the bidet was the best thing in my house that took absolutely ages to find a plumber who could fit it in, but he hasn’t got a clue. Eventually it got done and I love that house I stayed there for over 20 years and then circumstances, changed I had to move to a much smaller house with no room in the tiny bathrooms , i’d love to get another one ❤️🩹
Done, wish I had done it years ago.
This guy is very descriptive 😅, I wanted to stop the video at the beginning already but ended up staying. Glad I did, good info and the guy has natural comedy skills 😂
Thank you for this information Dr Chung. This normalizes a healthy thing that even I as an RN of 22 years had thought was just a ME issue! I’m so thankful I found you!
This doc is fantastic. He must also have huge... brains! Thanks for being brave and sharing something that it is not only hard to talk about but can be hard to even hear. This is important info, and people need to hear it from a reliable source. So, thank you for doing this service for all!
Thanks so much, I’ve suffered painful hemorrhoids for awhile but am absolutely mortified to talk about it, even with my doctor. This video goes a long way in lessening the shame of talking about bowel movements and problems left unsaid
Hey, if you can't talk to your doctor about hemorrhoids, get a new doctor. I'm so lucky to have a doctor that I can talk to about everything, no matter how embarrassing. I once mentioned to him that I had hemorrhoids and he immediately jumped in with, "yeah, I got 'em too", that just made the topic so much more relatable. I mentioned to him my growing bald spot and he immediately pointed to his own and said "yeah, welcome to the club!". We had a good laugh as he related his experiences with Minoxidil, etc. So get a new doctor you feel comfortable with and can relate to.
I have hemorrhoids and talk freely with my doctor about them who happens to be a female. I also have ED. And again she directed and recommended a urologist also a female.
@@astroboy5137After my regular urologist's office got flooded, he referred me to a female colleague. I was hesitant at first to disrobe in front of her for a prostate exam, but then I noticed her tats and nose piercings and figured out she probably wasn't the judgmental type - and I was right. Now I've started going to her permanently.

You answered questions I often wondered about ! Thank you for being so honest and answering those questions we have difficulty asking about.
This video answered the questions that I've been seeking for months. Great job!
This was so sweet! None of the stern medical distancing, but still quite clinical and informative, acknowledging the sensitive nature and how vulnerable it makes a person feel.
Sweet? 🤢
Thank you for your entertaining and informative presentation. I have suffered from hemorrhoids and have diverticulosis (2 bleeds in the descending colon) and this was very well done. The fact that you laugh with us while presenting this information makes it much less uncomfortable about which to speak.
The whole world needs to know this. Thanks Dr.!!!
First time I’ve come across your channel and so glad I did! I was probably injuring myself before but hearing your advice, knowing I don’t need to take those steps, makes me happy and will keep me healthy! So glad you broached the uncomfortable topic for the genuine care and safety of us! I appreciate you! New Subscriber! 😊
I wish that I had watched this video as a child - I used to obsessively wipe and consequently damage my butt and began to avoid using the restroom outside of my house because I would get super stressed out about getting it clean. Sometimes I would also clog toilets because of how much toilet paper I was using to try to get all the way clean, and if anyone knows that one Parks & Rec clip about wiping your butt feeling like wiping a marker, where it just keeps going and going, that clip is so relatable. Nowadays I have a bidet and am able to get it spotless in one pass, but I have felt what you describe here - the discomfort and itchiness after wiping - after using public restrooms. I’m very glad to have watched this!
Skid marks are disgusting and totally avoidable. After initial wiping, move over and sit on your sink or the edge of the bathtub, and reach back to wash your butthole under a stream of running water. Work a finger inside your starfish up to the first knuckle until the "greasy" feeling is gone. I've been wiping this way for over 20 years and never had a skidmark since.
Obviously this isn't always practical away from home. I usually take some moistened paper towels into the stall if I have to use a public toilet. Also beware of weight limits for sinks.
Thanks so much for tackling a fundamental function that people don't feel comfortable talking about. I've come back to leave a comment after watching this video a few weeks ago. Trying your technique has made an amazing difference in the overall health of my bottom end. I never realized that there was a gentler way of cleaning myself and if my bottom end could speak it would say thanks. Who knew?
Duuuude. You really are a super hero. It's seriously the explanation I kept searching for but no one addresses
Thank you. I appreciate your frankness about this subject. I understand exactly what you are saying and now I know why I have problems and how to fix them. To those who don't want the "skid marks", try the wet (aka "baby") wipes as the last phase of wiping and you will probably eliminate them, as the doctor indicates at the beginning.
I started washing my rear many years ago after going as it is the only way to really clean up plus it saves a ton of paper and butt-friction. This works with my morning schedule so fortunately I can use my own bathroom. I think that merely wiping is not really being clean. But great advice here for people who still do that. I can't imagine running around doing my daily activities with a poo-smeared rear-end though.
Very informative and useful too. These are subjects that hardly any households talk about. And wrong ways of wiping does create problems you really really don’t want. Keep it up doctor👍🏼
Thank you for addressing this basic hygiene that most of us were never instructed in. Parents can simply show this video to their children. There are some guys who refuse to wear underwear; they should know that "skid marks" are why. Those marks should never be on clothing, only on underwear! I'm sending this video to one of those guys myself. Again, thanks for addressing this ignorance and educating all of us.
I’ve found that keeping flushable wipes at work/home is very helpful. Last wipe is always with a wet wipe. Prevents irritation, infections, skid marks, and odors.
Eww
Flushable wipes are not Flushable. Stop flushing them down.
I use regular toilet paper which I have wet down with the faucet. Odor less, no itch. Cheaper. Better for environment. Better for suagesystem.

It's refreshing to hear your descriptions in terms I can easily understand about a subject that is not normally discussed anywhere, with anyone, at anytime. I feel as if I've been to an educational comedy club! 🍺 You have a great take on your audience! Cheers 🍻 and thank you!
Great presentation doctor. Thank you
With adequate fiber, and or supplementing with psyllium husk, for example will do wonders on keeping everything healthy and regular. Including the perfect poop that leaves no trace after wiping!
I love your humor about this, because most people are so uncomfortable talking about it. Thank you, for explaining it so thoroughly. 🤗
Thank you Prof you would not realize how many of us you help with this video. Stay blessed
I discovered him just yesterday and I’m in love! So genuine and cheerful!
G'day Doc... So cool how down to earth you are with all this, Our world needs more specialists like your self.
Also huge thanks for having No annoying back ground music, Cheers..
Dr. Chung this video has literally changed my life! My clean up game has changed completely and it’s fantastic. I’m glad someone like yourself is willing to create content that might be uncomfortable to talk about, but is so incredibly helpful & important! Thanks again 🧻🧻
I totally appreciate your candor. It's not shameful or dirty - it's just biological functioning! Most were only taught toileting hygiene briefly as little children. When we are young our bm is a certain consistency, our musculature is young and strong and we don't have body hair in those areas. While we might learn about puberty no one really readdresses the subject of BM hygiene and most people aren't going to ask. I think too, we have to adapt our hygiene as we age. Pregnancy, muscle laxity, injuries all change how that area is functioning and changing shape. Now factor in the differences of the diet. If you eat something greasy, your poop is going to be greasy and smeary and sticky to clean up. It's all just a part of living.
You know these topics are hard to talk, are intimate but still are part of our well being and accepting and loving our body's how they show healthiness and realness. Really appreciated doctor to help with our problems with some solutions and good habits
Great job teaching us! Fascinating!
Thank you for being honest, blatantly truthful, and for educating folks. Thank you so much for your videos!
Really appreciate!🙏
Well , I had no idea what was causing my burning sensation after a bowel movement an hour or so later . Thank you so very much for your humorous way to explain things 😊
Try using a padol cup/ Large watering cup I seen a video they use in vietnam. Wash with warm water and a tiny bit of soap on your wiping finger or do quick hop in shower. You will feel so great. I would wipe forever, but you can still have a little that edges out and makes it itch. that is why I love bidets when I am lucky enough. not all poops are created equal. My vary wayyy too much!
Try the Pranicura cream, you will thank me and especially you will thank the makers of this stuff. It will give you your life back! Good luck!
For me the burning sensation was the hot sauce that I used on my food. I like hot sauce.
Maybe your eating greasy foods
@@ronaldross6950 I believe the hot sauce is burning my backside as well

A safe place to learn what I have had going on with me for many many years ..
Dr. Chung I love you! Your honest but real. These are the issues that I deal with everyday with hemorrhoids.
My career as a geologist has taken me to every continent except Antarctica. Very early on, I realized that there were two types of people in the world, those who loved bidet showers, aka ‘bum guns’ (small hose-mounted showers operated by a trigger fitted next to the toilet), and those who had never tried them.
Why the West hasn’t adopted these simple devices is beyond my comprehension. The water jet cleans you perfectly, and the lightly dabbed the toilet paper dries you off. No need for the ‘technique’ that you describe in the video, Doc. Perfect cleanliness each time.
When you say "west", most Europeans use a bidet.
Good point, but this is usually a separate installation that requires a separate operation. The Eastern 'bum gun' is mounted right next to the toilet, and is used on the toilet, with the waste being flushed by the water into the bowl - a one stop shop, if you like!
Btw keep em coming. And I take metamuccil. It helps.. do you recommend that
Doctor, you just gained yourself another subscriber. Absolutely awesome video!
Game changer! Living in South Korea, bidets are a very common household add-on. This translates into a 1 wipe pass usually and totally eliminates post pooping re-wiping!
And in Thailand they have "bum guns" next to the toilet that spray water. Then wipe off what little water is left.
I added a bidet to my toilet several years ago. It's wonderful. I don't know why more people don't use them. They can be found on Amazon, at Home Depot, and everywhere for around fifty bucks. I heard a good analogy: spread peanut butter in two places on a concrete driveway. Clean one off with paper towels and use a hose to clean the other. I rest my case.
Preach it brother! Hence...good-bye hemis for me!@@johnstjohn4705

What a great video and totally transparent!! I'm still laughing as any of us who have or still working in healthcare, we find humor in various body activities that are completely normal.
I have had a few thromboses hemorrhoids, which are quite painful. Some diet changes and making sure I do not sit all day, has made a huge difference. Haven't seen my surgeon in over 10 years.
Honestly, you addressed many questions we all desire the answer to.
Take magnesium & vit C every day, you'll never sit long waiting for 💩 to happen!
You're welcome!
Great topic! Hygiene is always very personal and differs from person to person based on their preferences, and body to body.
Yes, you wipe until you don’t see any more fecal matter on the tissue… but that is not the end of the story, or the wiping for that matter, and here is why.
As the doctor said, if you are pooping dry, those are pretty much a one-and-done, granted. However, if your poop is tarry, mushy, runny, and not solid, not only are you going to wipe immediately after, you should check and wipe multiple times afterward, at about one-hour intervals. The exception is diarrhea because in this type of involuntary discharge, your body is forcibly expelling as much as it can via your colon and much of it is being carried and cleansed via water. Hence, you might have noticed during this temporary condition, you’re toilet paper reading or indicator is clean with the first wipe following a case of diarrhea. The body’s natural enema.
Most times, although you initially wiped the anus clean, usually there is more stuck inside the rectum waiting to be expelled, which it does through capillary actions of the colon and rectum on their own, but also helped by normal body movements following your bowel movement, and gravity as the doctor indicated.
With these two combined actions, you are more so than not, going to have additional poop to wipe clean. So, to ensure that you get it all, and not have the remaining remnants of your stool wind up on your underwear, you should wipe again about an hour later, and while the stool is still moist. At that hour mark, if there are no remnants, then you are good to go for the rest of your day, normally.
And, of course, as the doctor indicated, some people’s anus’ are very sensitive to wiping with toilet paper that irritates their anus, so with these sensitive folks, try using moist wipes to reduce the friction.
Again, great subject, doc!
😊
But DON'T flush the wet wipes, throw them in the dirtbin.
@@jacquimunns2093 That's true for 'normal' wet wipes, but most moist toilet tissue has been flushable for a while now. They contain no plastic fibres like they used to, and break down after flushing very quickley.
@@darrylvernon2549 Its still not ideal, especially for septic systems.
Hey Fred, that sure is some rant you got going on there. But I have to point out that you’re totally wrong about the way our body excretes waste and evacuates the bowel. There is absolutely ZERO capillary action occurring, for several reasons. 😱Most obvious is that faecel matter isn’t anywhere near liquid enough, nor is the viscosity low enough to allow for capillary action to occur, unless you’re essentially pissing out of your arse. 🤯
The colon and bowels work primarily via peristalsis and air pressure. 🤨Think of shit kind of like semi-congealed blood; once blood has started to congeal and lumps/solid bits have started to form, this blood will no longer be able to use capillary action 😂🎉🎉 there isn’t a complete seal. The liquid must seal with the capillary or the process doesn’t happen. It’s like saying that vomit could somehow use capillary action when there’s no possibility for anything remotely solid and/or chunky to use capillary action. This is the same as what happens when one evacuates their bowel, unless they completely liquid faecal matter. 💩
Very informative and feeling more normal now.
OMG❣️✨💖✨I LOVE YOU! I appreciate your sincerity and humor around this topic. Thank you.
Ha! Had to check this out, and it doesn’t disappoint. Solid advice. Thank you, good doctor sir.
Thank you so much. I found your forum via serendipity. I love that YOU love proctology. I love your courage. I love your humor. I love your enthusiasm in sharing what you go through so we don't feel so alone. Thank you.
Doc, you are hilarious. Your patients are lucky to have you as their doctor.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Dr Chung
We need more people like you normalizing talk about something every human body does. ❤
Doctor, you have helped me so much, thank you!! As you know so well, it is not just a physical challenge but a mental and emotional challenge to cope with these human problems. Your lovely voice, kind and gentle demeanour is so incredibly helpful, equal to your generous advice and counsel. I cherish you like an old trusted friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! 😅
You were so open and I can’t tell you how thankful I am to you that I found this video. I thought something was wrong with me 😂 I knew I was wiping well, and would sometimes over wipe, but sometime later I would feel uncomfortable! Thank you so much for this video!!!
When you were a kid, i bet you wanted to “make a difference”. I’m here to tell you…you are making a huge difference in countless lives. Mine for example, every time i went to bathroom and I would dig for gold trying to make it where i wouldn’t need to go wipe later a few hours…I was causing bleeding to happen. Then I would pray to get constipated so that way I wouldn’t have to deal with the mess. I have had multiple hemorrhoids over the years, and currently still have 2 internal ones (that i know of). Thank you thank you thank you. Seriously from the bottom of my heart, thank you. For explaining that this whole time, I was normal and that it’s expected. I don’t have to beat myself up for being a “dirty” person. Thank you, you changed my life. I know that had to be hard for you to make a video about that, so I’m telling you, it made a HUGE difference in my life. Thank you!
Genuinely interesting. Appreaciating a ton it ended in my feed as, I don’t know about you, but I don’t find myself googling the stuff.
Doc this was great! Lots of education, lots of laughs! Nailed it right on the money with this, thank you!
Dr. Chung your directness, openness, and honesty is so refreshing. I appreciate your style and energy. Absolutely fantastic presentations, explanations, and overall channel. Thank you thank you thank you.
You're so funny and hilarious doc 😂😂 You made my day. Thank you always for great tips. Love your videos ❤️
I wish I knew about Dr. Chung years ago! I'm just learning a lot today after discovering this channel. Thank you, THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom with us!!!
Interesting topic. No skid marks for me. I was grew up in Italy, so after wiping I learned to wash my rear with a bidet. Now in the USA, I use a short bucket on a stool as a bidet. Or I go number 2 before taking a shower. Last time I had underwear with a skid mark was in my childhood. In Italy by building code bathrooms must have a bidet.
Well that was an amazing video Doc, I really enjoyed it and found it very informative. I have no idea how it got in my feed but it was awesome lol..kinda funny but quite educational. Im only used to doctors asking me uncomfortable and embarrassing questions. I never expected a professional such as yourself to be so open, vulnerable and honest about themself. Im definitely subbing to your channel. Im sure you help untold numbers of people here on UA-cam. Currently (knock on wood) I'm not experiencing any issues in this area but this video might keep it that way. Well done, and I'm wishing you clean drawers and no skid marks! lol. 😊
this vid is a life changer. used to hate pooping because of the wiping part
😂😂😂
Great video! Thanks! It's the 2nd one I've watched. I just subscribed.
This is the best video on the internet I never laughed so hard your honesty is contagious!
This is the first video that I've ever seen talking clearly about the intricate details of wiping.
Saw the title and JUST HAD to check it out haha I'm 50 so after all these years of wiping my own booty, I can't imagine changing my style to what you described. I wipe both ways. If you only wipe downward, you're pushing it down to the "taint" area. So you must wipe upward too, to get that lower area clean. Thankfully my daily poops are like clockwork - after 2 cups of coffee. I poop, go downstairs and workout and then take another poop, and jump in the shower before work. And in the shower with soap and water, I clean the whole crack and bootyhole area. I'm clean as a whistle down there .... as long I don't have to poop a 3rd time (after shower), which is what happened once I got into work this morning. Not clean as a whistle anymore. UGH. I hate that. Anyway, thank you for keeping it real & keeping it funny, Dr. Chung!
Honestly when it comes to cleanliness, there is no worse feeling than a dirty booty. Honestly I can get paint on myself or covered in mud all day. It still feels better than getting skid marks. Thankfully I don't need the toilet often, though I also don't eat often. I much prefer drinks, and I can get all my energy, vitamins and minerals from a single meal.
Thankyou, thank you! I love your healthy sense of humor while giving explanations that we ALL need. Never stop giving, Dr. Chang. ❤️
Thank you MUCHLY Dr Chung! You got another subscriber! 👍👍
