Hi my dear,
I understand your concern.
Your case:
- 67 years old female
- current problems: stool leakage not all the time
- personal history of hemorrhoids
From what you are reporting, it seems that you are having stool leakage after having a bowel movement.
You say to be suffering of hemorrhoids. I believe you're suffering of
constipation too.
When you pass the stool, the hemorrhoids and anal mucosa are being lacerated. This associated with anal bleeding. The regenerating processes in the following days are associated with stool leakage.
If I was your caring doctor would make sure there is nothing torn or severely damages in your anal area. So, a further consultation with
proctologist is highly recommended together with an anoscopy.
If no such severe problem, then, trying to avoid constipation and treating hemorrhoids will help with stool leakage too.
You do not have to be at home when you have the bad days of stool leakage. Just wear daily pads.
Hope this helps.
