How to care for fecal incontinence in the elderly

For the care of elderly people with fecal incontinence, it is important to standardize the care from the usual life and diet. The elderly should change diapers frequently, keep the anus clean and hygienic, and try to keep the anus dry to avoid perianal eczema. You should turn over regularly, and you can advocate the elderly to exercise the anal sphincter more often and do more anal lifting movements, that is, contracting the anus, so that the anal sphincter can regain its original function as much as possible. It is best to give coarse fiber food in the diet to ensure the smooth flow of stool, to ensure the formation of stool to avoid diarrhea, do not eat cold, hard and spicy, greasy, irritating food, so as not to cause diarrhea. Patients who are capable of taking care of themselves need to exercise properly. For elderly people who are completely unable to take care of themselves, it is important to prevent the occurrence of pressure sores.
