A member asked:
Do your but muscles have a role in holding gas and feces. what happens if you have weak but muscles. i have a flat but btw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sphincter muscles : It is sphincter muscle that retains the contents of the bowels but abdominal pressure can make it more difficult to hold the contents. If you squeeze your butt together it may help support a little whereas bending over will make it more difficult.
