What Causes Bowel Incontinence?

I have the urge to defecate constantly, even when I don t have to have a bowel movement. I have one to two bowel movements a day. they are soft and moderate amount. I have no abdominal pain but when I do have to defecate there is no waiting. I never know when I have to have a bowel movement because I always feel like I need to have one.

Hello
I share your concern.

I have gone through your question very diligently and I really appreciate your concern.

Repeatedly urge to defecation might be related to incomplete evacuation of bowel, irritable bowel syndrome, parasite infection or may be associated with stress anxiety.

I would advise you to take Chlordiazepoxide group of drugs for 7-10 days with pantoprazole or ranitidine group of drugs.

you should take lots of fresh fruits and vegetables with dietary fiber supplement in your diet.

Try to avoid stress and anxiety by relaxation exercises yoga and meditation.
Have plenty of fluids and maintain good hygiene.

if it doesn't help than you should go for stool test for ova, cyst or protozoa, you may require deworming with albendazole group of drugs.

Hope I could answer your question please feel free to ask for follow up question I will be happy to help you.
wishing you good health.
