i’ve posted a question on this category earlier about my bowel incontinence problem. now i’ve taken all the tests possible to assess my problem like blood test, urine test, fecal test, colonoscopy, and another test to detect fistula, etc.. and all those tests cost me a fortune! there’s still CT scan, but i’m reluctant to do it because i’ve heard it might cause allergic reaction on my skin. now the problem is, even if i do CT Scan, there’s only one option for me that is to do surgery. my doctor said the surgery will cause pain each time i pass motion. i’m only 28, so i don’t wanna live with the pain for the rest of my life. but i read on several websites that kegel exercise can help with bowel incontinence but i do not know the exact method. can someone advise pls..
I don’t know anything about bowel incontinence, but I do know a little bit about the kegel muscle. When you are urinating in the toilet, try to stop your flow of urine mid-stream. The muscle you use to do this is your kegel muscle. If you do this a few times, you will get the feel for how to use or "flex" this muscle. Then you can do exercises while you are sitting at the computer or driving your car or whatever, by just "flexing" this muscle, the same way you do when you are stopping your flow of urine.
Pls guide me on the right Kegel exercise method.?
