Hello,
You need to examination to confirm that
1. Whether your problem with constipation due to hard stools.
2. Bowel incontinence due to spinal cord problems or diabetes patients.
3. Problem with obstruction in the lumen or not.
You need to consult your gastroenterologist he will do barium meal study, colonoscopy or upper GI scope and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
