Bowel incontinence?

[Archives1]

Greetings!

Lately i have had issues with waking up straining to move bowels in sleep. Of course i use diapers for bedwetting so no harm, no fowl. Just a shock to wake up in soiled diaper. Anyone else experience this strange, or maybe not so strange behavior? Maybe injured coccys? Maybe development of spinal degeneration from traumatic injury 30 years ago?

Any suggestions welcome. My concern is this signals worsening condition and want to stay away from daytimes diapering issues.

Thanks

I'd say that 'anybody' would be your medical professional as the first stop. It represents a change in body function, and a rather dramatic one at that. Make a medical appointment soonest.

Bowel incontinence is not as common as urinary but it does happen. Usually caused by some kind of nerve damage, such is my case.

First SEE YOUR DOCTOR.

I lead an active life with bowel incontinence and have learned to control it through diet and timing but will wear an adult brief from time to time, like if I'm sick.
