Suggest Remedies For Bowel Incontinence
Over the last twelve months I have been having bowel. Movements each time I go to the toilet even when I don t have the urge it just comes. Sometimes firm, sometimes soft and often in very small amounts, but it comes. Have had the odd soiled underwear without being aware. When really soft can be very strong odour

Hi,
Leakage of stool can be suggestive of fecal incontinence.Fecal incontinence causes stool and other fecal matter to leak from your rectal canal. It can range from occasional leakage while passing gas to a complete loss of bowel control.
Initially, I would suggest you go for a digital rectal examination by a surgeon.Most commonly at your age nerve damage is an important cause of fecal incontinence.
For the time being, anti-diarrheal drugs such as loperamide (Imodium) and diphenoxylate and atropine sulfate (Lomotil) along with bulk-forming agents like Metamucil can be taken to provide symptomatic relief however they may cause constipation which can further worsen the problem of hemorrhoid.
Initially, I would suggest you visit a general surgeon and get your rectal canal investigated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
