Fecal incontinence can occur after a surgery to treat hemorrhoids. This means that the muscle that controls bowels movements has been injured and you need professional help to repair things.

If there has been only mild damage, you may be able to avoid another surgery by physical therapy and biofeedback training to strengthen the anal sphincter again as well as pelvic floor muscles.

However, severe forms may require surgery to repair the muscle or even replace it.

It may happen that neither conservative treatment nor surgery can repair the anal muscle and a surgeon may decide to replace it by an artificial one. This is a new treatment for those who can’t get the muscle repaired.

There is no other way to control this disorder if injury occurred. I would advise you to see a doc to performed hemorrhoid surgery or maybe another one.

I had the SAME problem at the hospital and once home for 1 week. If finally stopped though. Is yours continuing? What it did to me was make ANOTHER HEMORROID!!!! Sad

In the mid 90's I had one removed out patient in an office and didn't have nearly the trouble!!!!

I still am miserable with pain and itching. I also a "recto-cele at the same time though. (prolapse) surgery.
