How Can Frequent Urination And Bowel Incontinence Be Treated?

I am suffering from sudden weight loss, panic attacks, anxiety for the first time. This occurred after receiving an Eviction Notice from my Landlord. I had to run to Housing Court twice for adjournments, then run to many agencies to get a pro bono attorney. I am 72 years old, my son left end of October to live with his girlfriend. I m on Social Security and unable to meet my rent on my income of $1,050. After 4 months of searching and then finding two pro bono attorneys, and after our second meeting, they accepted to represent me. That s when I lost control and fell apart. I am like a skeleton, have been unable to eat. Knot in my stomach, confusion in brain I can t focus on the tiniest thing, vision loss, hearing loss. My doctor tells me I must eat. I was only able to tolerate liquids. Now I m forcing myself to eat but after a little while have the urge to pass water. When I do, I have bowel movements several times a day and everything is eliminated. Please help, I can t go on like this. I have no life.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I can understand the stressful things going on with your life which may be the major reason for frequency of urination and bowel control problems. This is called IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome. And the treatment is control of stress and anxiety. You can certainly take the medications for symptomatic relief but you need a proper prescription from your Doctor. It is better to get the organic causes like prostate enlargement, cancer colon or other causes to be ruled out if the preliminary investigations or clinical evaluation suggest so. So, please stop worrying too much as it does not help, on the contrary, it causes the problem.

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

Regards,

Dr. T Chandrakant
