What causes bowel incontinence and pain in the back?
Patient: Hi. Since having a radical hysterectomy I have had bowel incontinence. Also a searing pain in my groin radiating underneath which goes numb as if I have had anaesthetic & chronic pain in lower back. I cannot move when this happens. I was given a Piresteen kit to clean out my bowel , but after using am in awful pain. Had an MRI this week , no herniated disk. They said I could have nerve damage due to hysterectomy. I have been diagnosed with nerve damage by bowel clinic. Do you think this could be down to my op ?. Thank you. Doctor: Hi, welcome to health care magic after reading your problem my view is that radical hysterectomy is a major surgical procedure which involves gross handling of pelvic structures. and the indication for which this hysterectomy is performed is also very important as it affects the out come of surgery , even in the best surgeons hand.
