If there is fecal incontinence, it is first necessary to determine the cause. If the incontinence is due to general neurological symptoms and neuropathy, then it is necessary to register for a neurology department consultation. If it is due to relaxation of the local anal sphincter, then registration with the proctology department is needed. Generally, for local sphincter relaxation causing fecal incontinence, an anal sphincter tightening procedure can be opted for, to provide local symptom relief. Additionally, it is important to also consider coordinating with traditional Chinese medicine enemas, which can enhance the mucosa within the rectum.
