Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,
Sorry for the late reply due to my XXXXXXX clinical overload.
Thank you for providing the requested information.
From what you are reporting, your problems with fecal incontinence could be related to anal sphyncter dysfunction. Digital examination together with anoscopy and manometry testing are advised for proper diagnosis. Fecal analysis is also recommended.
I advise to :
- start doing Kegels exercise
- go to bathroom each time you feel the need, do not delay
- make a habit to go to toilet once daily at same time or each time you feel the need
All the best!
