Bowel leakage is far more common than many people suspect. Nearly one in five women has experienced an incident of bowel or stool leakage; for many of them, it’s a chronic and embarrassing problem.
Bowel incontinence can be caused by many things, from laxity of the muscles to injury or disease. Some reasons may be serious in nature, which is why it’s a good idea to visit a Los Angeles proctologist for an evaluation, especially if you notice that the problem recurs.
There are some things you can do at home too, including dietary changes and Kegel exercises to solidify your stool and muscles, respectively. If the problem doesn’t respond to home remedies such as these, it’s time to visit a proctologist to learn more about what’s causing the problem, and what options you may have for lasting relief.
