Hello! According to your description, it is possible that your mother's case is due to a bowel disorder caused by a weakening of the anal sphincter system leading to incontinence. This symptom is common in people who are old, weak, have had many children, and have increased abdominal pressure (persistent constipation). Therefore, in this case, the doctor needs to examine him directly, and at the same time, exploit the medical history information to be able to come up with an effective treatment plan. Therefore, you should take the time to take her to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to be examined, guided and treated by specialized doctors. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. We hope to meet you and your family in the near future for a more in-depth consultation about her condition. Best regards!
