What Causes Tenderness In The Lower Abdomen And Bowel Incontinence?

I ve had lower abdominal tenderness and involuntary discharges of stool colored mucus since yesterday. I was casually diagnosed with IBS with constipation about 5 years ago, so take Citracel from time to time. I ve resumed taking my Citracel every morning. I m just assuming once the fiber kicks in and gives me some normal bowel movements, I ll feel better. Just wondering when I should seek medical help. No fever, bloody stools, or extreme pain.

Hello Dear
I evaluated your query in depth .
@ Tenderness in abdomen & discharge from anus are related to underlying
infection / inflammation of the intestine with altered gut flora mechanism
can be considered relapse of IBS as well .
@ Certain guidelines for better recovery
# drink plenty of liquids preferably boiled water, coconut water, green tea,
coffee, lemon juice , butter milk etc .
# consume light diet in small amounts at regular intervals
# avoid all oily / spicy / non vegetarian stuffs
# manage diet in such way to get soft stools on regular basis
# use washroom as and when required
# in our clinic we recommend gut flora mediating molecules such as
lactobacilli , antispasmodics , proton pump inhibitors , GI specific
antibiotics as per the case evaluation & necessary supportive data
details .
# avoid stress / anxiety
Hope this will definitely help you.
