Brief Answer:
Are you stools soft or strong?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this leaky sphincter. This is often aggravated by liquid stools. The main things to do now are to eat such that the stays stay formed like eating less vegetables, fruits and not taking too much water. I will also recommend that you wear a pad liner to make sure that even if you get a leaky sphincter, your under wears will not be soiled. s the hemorrhoids resolve, this will get resolved. After this episode, ask your doctor about Kegel exercises to strengthen the sphincter and control bowel leakage.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
