Beware Bowel Incontinence

[Archives1]

About a month ago, Paul, an old friend and colleague of mine, mentioned that he was having a bout of faecal incontinence. Neither of us thought it was likely to be anything more than a temporary nuisance. He went to his general medical practitioner who referred him to hospital for MRI and CT scans. He was not feeling any pain or discomfort and drove to hospital 25 miles away. When the results of the scans came back they indicated cancer of the colon, liver and lung. He died 10 days later.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your friend let this serve as a lesson to all of us when we are experiencing incontinence of any kind we should always seek medical advice because in this case, the incontinence was only a symptom of a more serious medical problem we should never let our own embarrassment get in the way of seeking medical advice which means we have to come to terms with our own issues and speaking of fecal incontinence this may sound counter-intuitive but fecal incontinence can actually be caused by constipation
