Scott, thanks for your comment. My sphincter just seems a bit short but if it hasn't been cut, as you say, it is the one I have always had so should be OK.
I had a good day between midnight and midnight yesterday, going 8 times, but then from midnight to getting up I went quite a few times as it was burning and there was plenty there. It was like the stool that wasn't passed in the day remained in my bowel and was passed in the night. I can't understand why my bowel speeded up in the night though.
Maybe I need to space the tablets out more. I took one at 6am yesterday and the other just after midday, only 6 hours apart. I can't understand though why having them too close together would have such an effect as all they are doing is killing bad bacteria which wouldn't grow back in the space of a few hours (when there is a gap in taking the tablets), surely? Or would it?
There wasn't that much leaking in the day as not much was pushing out, but at night, sometimes the stool leaked out sometimes not. It burned even when there was no leaking.
Do you think I am doing enough Kegel exercises?
