Hi,

Noted the history of anal sphincterotomy for fissure-in-ano 2 years back and you got alright. The recent problem of difficulty in controlling the passage of stool is surely due to a change of bowel habit due to travelling a lot as per your history and this can also be attributed to the change of food as you must have to take outside food and an allergy or infection due to it can cause such a problem. Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Change the job to suit your lifestyle.
Have homemade foods only.
Drink the boiled for 20 minutes of water only.

Control of stress and anxiety can help you the most. Also, try to identify the foods and beverages along with the factors that instigate or enhance the problems and stop these altogether.

Get the stool tested and if has any positive findings then get treated accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
General Surgeon
