What Is The Treatment For The Bowel Incontinence?
I think I may have bowel incontinence. I am a 54 year old female who runs and swims daily. I am having to make sure there is a toilet close by on my daily run. Sometimes I have to stop once to go to the toilet, sometimes twice. after I have had a 1km swim I normally need to go again. It is really starting to affect my lifestyle?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, going for defecation twice and thrice in day may not be due to any illness even if it is in urgency, because it is happening at the time of work up only, and it does not associated with any other symptoms so it is not the disease condition I would suggest to stop work up for few days and no need to be over conscious when you have reflexes for defecation just hold eat be patience, hope this information helps.
