HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.


I went through your query and definitely I can help you . But I need more information on your problem .

1. Since how long you are having this problem ?
2. Is your bowels loose or normal?
3. Is there any problem in passing urine too?
4. Is there problem in having Erection ? ( if you are male )
5. Did you had any trauma to back anytime ?

This problem could be either due to malabsorption or neurological . If it is malabsorption then your motions will be loose . In that case we need to evaluate for the cause of mal absorption .

If it is neurological your motions will be normal and in that case you will require a different set of tests.

Kindly revert back to me soon with details asked .

Regards.
