Answered by Doctor Dao Minh Phuong - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine Vinmec Central Park International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question "How to treat digestive disorders with bowel incontinence? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to your description, the doctor thinks of the possibility that you have 2 problems at the same time. One is "eating and drinking cold, sour, fishy food... is going to the toilet many times a day". This could be irritable bowel syndrome or malabsorption syndrome. The second is "during deep sleep, defecation is involuntary and leads to a little leakage of excess stool in the pants". This problem is likely related to a sphincter disorder.
However, in order to confirm the diagnosis and have the appropriate treatment, you should go to a reputable medical facility with 2 specialties of gastroenterology and anorectal.
If you still have questions about digestive disorders with bowel incontinence, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
