Urinary incontinence after surgery for rectal cancer is okay?
Question
Hello doctor,
My rectal cancer has been operated on and is now 7 weeks old. Generally fine after surgery but urinating is very uncomfortable (incontinence and moreover, going around day and night). So ask the doctor to help me with urinary incontinence after surgery for rectal cancer, is it okay? What should be done to improve this situation? I thank the doctor.

Hello,
With the question "Is it okay to urinate incontinent after surgery for rectal cancer?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Because your rectal cancer surgery is very close to the anus and May affect the anal sphincter causing urinary disturbances. After the surgery is stable, you should go back to the doctor to check and have a specific treatment plan.
If you still have questions about urinary incontinence after surgery for rectal cancer, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
