Patient's question:
Acute spinal cord inflammation causes incontinence of urine and feces. Bowel movements are particularly difficult, sometimes it takes several days to have a bowel movement. There is also a lack of control, sometimes leading to soiling the pants. It has been three or four years, and it is extremely painful. What medicine can stabilize the condition?Doctor's answer:
This is due to an injury in the spinal cord that controls waist suppression of defecation, which has not fully recovered to this day. Eating more vegetables regularly is beneficial for intestinal health. Given your acute spinal cord inflammation, the recurrence of urinary and fecal incontinence suggests abnormal nerve function leading to spinal nerve inflammation, resulting in abnormal urinary and fecal function. Under the guidance of a doctor, nutritional adjustments and nerve treatments should be considered. In terms of diet, it is recommended to follow a light diet and avoid spicy, greasy, and cold foods.
