General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
- In my view first step to control bowel incontinence should be to control diarrhea. stool examination gives clue about infecting organism. a specific treatment with an expert gastroenterologist would easily control.
at the same time prevention of dehydration maintenance of electrolyte balance by intake of sufficient water & Oral re-hydration therapy
- Pelvic floor exercises to regain tone of anal sphincter would help .( under guidance of physiotherapist )
- If this does not work at all-consultation of an anorectal surgeon is advisable
Thanks.
