Hello doctor!
I operated on hemorrhoids for 1 week. When I have a bowel movement, I feel like I can't push, but the stool only comes out on its own, so I always have stools left. After going for the first time, 15 minutes later must continue to go, every morning must go at least 3 times to run out of stool. The stool is soft, about 2cm in diameter. Doctor let me ask if fecal incontinence 1 week after hemorrhoid surgery is dangerous? Will this symptom go away on its own?
Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!

Hello friend,
With the question "Is fecal incontinence after 1 week hemorrhoid surgery dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Stool incontinence is a possible complication after hemorrhoid surgery. In most cases, when the surgical lesion in the anus is stable, the problem of fecal incontinence will improve and may resolve on its own.
Your case should be monitored for another 6-8 weeks after surgery, if the symptoms do not improve, you should go to the doctor to check for treatment.
If you still have questions about fecal incontinence 1 week after hemorrhoid surgery, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
