![default](/r/images/default.png)
Question: What can you do to prevent or heal a leaky butt.
Brief Answer:
Depends on the duration
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The treatment modality for fecal incontinence depends on the duration and underlying cause for the problem.
If it is since short period of time or due to infective causation, medications like Loperamide, atropine sulphate or bult forming agents like psyllium husk or methylcellulose can be advised.
Temporary continence products like anal plugs or silicone inserts can be of use but a bit cumbersome process.
If the condition is chronic without any correctable underlying condition then surgeries like Spinchteroplasty or sacral nerve stimulation can be done.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
