I've been struggling with incontinence lately.  I don't think I have pouchitis.  I'm not sure what's going on.

 

I was wondering if there was any surgery to help tighten up the muscles around the anus.  I had my rectum removed with my j-pouch surgery.  I had a very bad tear when I delivered my second child pre j-pouch surgery and this might be contributing to the issue.  

 

I've been to PT for this issue and I can't say it did anything.  

 

Anyone had surgery post j-pouch to help tighten the muscles?  Would stem cell therapy help in this situation?

Happytimes... I have the same issues. I had a pouch redo 2 yeears ago and ever since I get very slight leakage too, I always wear a small pad stuffed up to the anus just in case. But if I eat to soon before bed there have been times where I have crapped myself. I don't trust farting off the toilet either. And I have been scoped a few times since surgery and no pouchitis. Dr Remzi told me a redo with mucousectomy could be result of this. I think its nerve damage. I have had the manometry test to test sphincter squeeze, and its normal. I think a lot has to do with my diet too though.
