Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

I think you are having cystocoele ( which is prolapse of the bladder. This allows the bladder to droop into the vagina) as well as rectocoele means proplase of rectal tissue ( a prolapse of the rectum which allows the rectum to droop into the vagina)

This occurs due to laxity of perineal muscles.
The treatment of this condition would involve perineal exercises to control the urine. Depending upon the severity of the problem, you may need surgery as well.
I would suggest you consult a gynaecologist and get yourself evaluated.
Hope this helps. I would be available for follow ups.
Regards

Thanks Dr. For the reply but I want to precise that I have no problem in controlling the urine , my problem is the involuntary gas release ( cant some times controle to stop it when in public plus the one or 2 times when I could not control the release of diaria . I would like to precise that I have homoride . So my question is does what you have explained is well related to my problem? In that case should I consult a gynecologist as you said? Because my problem comes from the rectum which is not capable always to control the gas or the diaria.
Thank you Dr. For clarifying theses issues

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

If it is not a urinary problem and you pass gas and motion, it is an intestinal problem.

Diarrhoea can be due to amoebiasis or colitis.

It can be an diet which is less spicy and light along with some antacid.

For diarrhoea you can try tablet metronidazole under your doctor's guidance and prescription.

Have curd and khichdi along with banana.

Drink lot of water.

Rectal muscle exercise also helps.

Take care

Hello Dr.
Thank you for your reply but I want to precise that I don't suffer from diaria , I had it only 2 times during the last year , what I wanted to say that I have 2 problems and both I think are related :
1- involuntary passing gas
2- involuntary passing Stool( happened only 2 times during the past year)
What is the cause ? And whom should I consult as specilalist for this case , gynecologist or a surgeon ?
Sorry for repeating my question but I think I did not express my self well in my past feeds.
Thank you for your answer.

Hello Dear XXXXXXX

I don't think you are having any serious problem.

What you need is rectus muscle exercises so as to tone up your muscles and to prevent the passage of gas.

The stool you passed twice in a year can also be controlled with this.

Any physiotherapist can guide you for these exercises.

If you want to consult a doctor then show it to a surgeon.

Any further query is most welcome.

Best wishes.
