Here i am talking about poo again.
I recently posted about mums bowel incontinence and im still busy searching for ways to manage this.
with the power of the internet ive become aware of 'anal plugs' for bowel incontinence. they basically seem to be similar to tampons but obviously put up your bum. They can be worn for up to 12 hours and are removed like tampons with a string (i wonder what happens when it is removed). sounds pretty scary but im willing to try anything to help mum. has anyone had any experience with these.
im also still puzzled about the reasons for the problem. when mam was in hospital she was thoroughly checked out and we were told that she had an unidentified infection and was treated with anti biotics. we were also told that she probably had compaction/overflow. after reading about this it seems that the bowel can become stretched causing the incontinence. weve since been to her gp but are not really getting much advice other than wearing her 'big girls pants'. trying to find out if this can be corrected in anyway. any advice on this be gratefully apreciated.
. she has stopped wanting to go out in public as she is so embaressed about things. i have already been given some great advice here on my previous posts but im still searching for ways of helping her cope with this.
thanks
