Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I HAVE ENLARGE PROSTATE FOR LAST 10YEARS AS PER ULTRASOUND PROSTATE SIZE IS 75GM IN THE MORNING AFTER 5MINUTES FEEL URGENCY TO GO TP LOO IF DELAYED STOOL MAY AUTOMATICALY COME OUT...LIKE NO CONTROL ON STOOL PASSING AT LEAST 4 TIMES AFTER AN INTERVAL OF 15/20 MINUTES FEEL URGENCY TO GO TO TOILET
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. So 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.
So initially 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.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
