Reply to "Incontinence"

I tried such fecal plugs several years ago, after an anal fissure surgery that worsened leakage. They had to be soaked in water to make them soft and then inserted. They are usually designed to hold normal stool consistency, so liquid stool may be a problem and several designs / shapes of the plugs should be tested.

For me the problem was chronic pouchitis / cuffitis, that inflammation made it painful to insert / hold the plugs. Besides such plugs should be used only once and if you have to go to toilet at night you have to pull it out and afterwards prepare a new one.

I'm currently doing pelvic floor training to improve nightly leakage, but it takes time. A better stool consistency and less bloating can help a lot.
