Daytime leakage...advice needed!

PamSheaMember

Need advice for stool leakage problems, VERY frustrated! I'm 9 1/2 months post takedown and over the last 6 months (especially 2 mos) I have started experiencing a small amount of leakage during the day (Never at night). It began as an occaisional thing if I waited too long to use the restroom, but has become a daily occurence. Help!

Btw, I've been doing kegals faithfully since before surgery #1.

You should get scoped. Odd that it would be in the day and not at night. If the scope is normal you might want to see a rectal physical therapist. Not all kegels are the same, you may need a variation.

I thought it seemed strange to have leakage in the daytime and not at night as well. I had a pouchoscopy in October, which was normal, but I was only having very occasional issues, and had contributed it just holding stool too long. I also wondered if that is a symptom of pouchitis?
Thanks so much for the input, I've become quite discouraged with this issue and all advice is appreciated!

This is a common symptom of pouchitis. What confuses me is that you do not have leakage at nighttime as I never have leakage during the daytime with pouchitis and I have only experienced it at nighttime a few times. Leakage goes part and parcel with pouchitis. Antibiotics typically clear it up in a couple of weeks.
