What Causes Fecal Leakage While Farting?
Question: Recently, I frequently have fecal discharge when I fart. What causes that?
Brief Answer:
Suspected anal incontinence. ...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
Having fecal leakage when farting is indicative for possible anal sphincter incontinence.
I advise to run further diagnostic tests to determine the final diagnosis including anoscopy.
Meanwhile, I advise to :
- go to toilet each time you feel to have bowel movements , do not delay
- avoid straining for too long or heavily
- avoid constipation
- di not practice anal sex
- apply good hygienic measures locally
Hope it was of help!
