Flatus incontinence

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: Hi, How old are you, when did it start, is it related to some event or injury. It is usually caused by weakness in the external anal sphincter. If it is damaged by some injury or childbirth then it can be repaired. If it is not related to injury then it can be strengthened by physiotherapy.
