Do people get fecal incontinence after hemorrhoid surgery?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hemorrhoid complicat: One of the complications of hemorrhoid surgery is incontinence to feces or gas. This occurs if the muscles of the anal sphincter are excessively stretched or cut during the surgery. The incontinence may be temporary or permanent depending on the type of injury.

Can mild fecal incontinence associated with hemorrhoids go away on its own? I've had some leakage with internal hemorrhoids before, and I've had bandings done, but sometimes this symptom seems to come back, and sometimes it goes away. What to do?
