Hi there:

I am 6 months out and have a problem I am hoping someone can help with. Almost every day at some point, I am leaking! Not gas, not a BM...bu****ery and gross. There is no way to hold it until you get to a bathroom...it just comes out...no control at all. Any ideas as to why? It is grossing me out and it's embarrasing!!!

Thanks,

Sandy

I think you need to talk to your doctor. I seem to remember reading that anal leakage was a sign of impaction or blockage.

You probably are severly backed up. One of my sons suffers from this and the doctor explained what happens.

The amount of stool you have is probably of volume and consistency that your body can't pu**** out.  Pressure builds up behind the blockage and the liquid is able to slide past the solids.  Talk to you surgeon but a enema or 2 usually clears things up and then regular stool softeners.  My 9 year old talks MOM every night to prevent this.
