Faecal incontinence

[Guest guest]

I have been asked to give a chat to a self-help group for people suffering

from faecal incontinence. To be honest, it is not something I have come across

in my practice nor have I ever given much thought to it in terms of

Traditional .

I would be really interested and grateful if any one has any information on

this from a TCM perspective, including any recommended literature. I imagine

that a weakened Spleen energy would be involved.

Thanks very much,

Ann Brownbill.

Hi Ann,

 

I have seen this. Not only have I seen this involve spleen, but also kidney -

unable to keep the gates shut. Spleen and Kidney Qi and/or Yang deficiency.

Usually frequent, watery stools.
