Fecal incontinence after hemorrhoidectomy

Posted , 2 users are following.

I had a hemorrhoidectomy 3 weeks ago. Ive healed nicely but I'm having a terrible time with fecal incontinence. Has anyone experienced this and did it get better? Cannot live like this!

    I had that early on when I had mere seconds to run to a toilet.

    Are you on large doses of laxatives and/or stool softeners?

    When I lowered my doses everything became more under my control. Now I just take Normalax at night and I can control my muscles.
