Q. What causes fecal incontinence (leaking stool)?

A.

This condition occurs when the ability to hold stool is impaired due to a weakened anal sphincter, rectal sensory dysfunction, or chronic diarrhea. It is common in the elderly, and Kegel exercises are helpful.

📝 Detailed Answer

자신도 모르게 속옷에 변이 묻어나면 수치심에 병원을 찾기 꺼리시는데요.

출산 손상, 치질 수술 후유증, 노화 등이 원인입니다. 숨기지 말고 치료받으시면 충분히 개선될 수 있습니다. 항문 조이기 운동(케겔 운동)을 생활화하세요.
