What Causes Bowel Incontinence After A Rectal Examination?
After having a rectal exam by my gp.dr. I have been having very loose stools but just very small amounts. Its like I dont even have any control it just happens. At first it seemed like I was just gonna have gas but the stools were very loose and filled in my underwear. I had no feeling of having to go to the bathroom. Been going on since wed. Shortly after the exam. Can u give me any info. I am not having any bad pain except I feel like there is a small tear but dr. Said probably a fissure. My sphincter muscle does the opposite of what its supposed to. So I have go put my feet up on stool to help me go to bathroom. Sometimes I get constipated and use a stool softner.

thank you for contacting HCM.
this could be mostly from the digital rectal stimulation. if you suffer with constipation then there may be possibility of overflow diarrhea after this stimulus.
do u have rectal pain, please let us know as this could be a different cinario
