Patient's question:
I had a huge colon surgery last month. Originally, the postoperative recovery was quite good, and I thought everything was fine. However, in the past few days, when I had a bowel movement, I always felt that I couldn't control it. Today, I even had fecal incontinence. How should I deal with fecal incontinence after a huge colon surgery?Doctor's answer:
But for the situation you described, where fecal incontinence reoccurs after a megacolon surgery, it is appropriate to follow the doctor's advice and use some anti-diarrheal medications. In the near future, it is recommended to focus on a light and easily digestible diet to prevent excessive greasy food intake, which could lead to nausea and vomiting again. It is also advisable to follow the doctor's guidance to learn about the Kegel exercises and use some nerve-nourishing medications. Carefully observe any signs of improvement.
