Stool leakage is more common than many women realize—but it’s rarely talked about. It can be isolating, frustrating, and even impact daily activities or social life. The good news? There are solutions.

Two of the most common causes are:

1. Incomplete emptying of the bowels (constipation) – If stool doesn’t fully pass, small amounts may leak later.
2. Loose stools or diarrhea – If stool is too soft, it can be harder to control.

For constipation-related leakage, we focus on optimizing bowel movements. This might mean increasing fiber intake, adding a fiber supplement, or using gentle bowel stimulants like Magnesium Calm or senna. For diarrhea, the goal is to bulk up the stool using pure psyllium husk and, when needed, low-dose Imodium (the liquid version allows for better dose control).

If these strategies don’t work, we may recommend further testing and discuss treatments like sacral neuromodulation—a small implant that helps reset bowel function.

If stool leakage is affecting your life, you deserve to explore your options. Let’s find a solution that works for you!
