Brief Answer:
Possible Anorectal incontinence.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your query in detail.
As per your symptoms, you possibly seem to have mild to moderate degree of fecal incontinence.
The treatment depends on the cause.
First and foremost, local causes like haemorrhoids have to be excluded.
After, this I advise you to get rectal manometery.
This test will accurately guide the amount of pressure that is present in the ano rectal region at rest.
Based on the test results further management can be planned.
It's also advisable to keep the blood sugars under control. Take cleaner drinking water and home made, fiber-rich food.
Direct consultation with an expert Gastrointestinal surgeon will help in ruling out haemorrhoids.
Post your further queries if any.
