Patient's question:
Acute spinal cord inflammation causes incontinence of urine and feces. Bowel movements are particularly difficult, sometimes requiring several days to pass. There may also be a lack of control, leading to soiling of the pants. It has been three or four years, and the pain is severe. What medication can help stabilize the condition?Doctor's answer:
This is a spinal cord injury that inhibits bowel and bladder function, and it hasn't fully recovered yet. Eating more vegetables daily can help promote intestinal health. Given your acute spinal cord inflammation, the recurrence of incontinence suggests abnormal nerve function leading to spinal nerve inflammation, causing dysfunction in bowel and bladder control. Under the guidance of a doctor, nutritional adjustments and nerve treatments should be considered. In terms of diet, it's recommended to follow a light diet and avoid spicy, greasy, and cold foods.
