What Causes Inability To Control Bowel Movements?
Yes, thank you so much. I m a 60-year old male in good general health. I m having a problem with moving my bowels. I m not exactly incontinent, but when I sit down on the toilet I pass what feels like diarrhea. After wiping myself, however, it appears that the liquid is clear. Although I can control my bowels outside of the bathroom, I lose control while sitting on the toilet. Any thoughts? Thanks, Matt.

Hello,
I think you are having diarrhea and it is room watery not that it is incontinence.
I think you need to use some probiotics such as enterogermina and youvita to establish the intestinal flora. Also, loperamide may help relieve diarrhea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
