AF gone but have "leaking"

Postby Rich2871 » 07 Nov 2012, 18:51

I had an LIS done back in February and now the fissure is fixed :) yay, but I have another issue related to this. Every time I move my bowels I have to go back to the restroom a few minutes to 30 later to wipe the bowel off the area. It happens more when I am up and moving around but even when I sit I have to I back several times to get it all. Very embarrassing when I'm at work making multiple trips to the bathroom.
Anyone else have a similar experience and can shed some like on this?

Yes, I have had this issue both before and after LIS. The CRS said it was happening before due to the spasms in the sphincter muscle. I'm guessing it's happening after due to the muscle being less tight. For me, the leaking fecal matter is causing bad irritation, which causes me to wipe excessively, which further causes irritation,... an endless cycle. I've tried numerous creams (e.g., Calmoseptine), lotions (a prescription anti-fungal/steroid), wipes (baby, Balneol) and nothing seems to work. Also, when I have a solid BM that requires no wiping, I generally have no problems afterwards. Somehow, I need to find the right diet. Not sure if I'm not getting enough fiber, getting too much, etc. One suggestion my CRS gave was to roll up some gauze and stuff it up in there. It was useful for the bleeding just post LIS and seems to also work for the leaking problem. Good luck. And if you have any suggestions for my irritation, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm at my wits end.
