Incontinence during/following treatment?

I had urge incontinence a year after my radiation due to mild radiation proctitis. I took Myrbetriq to relax my (involuntary) detrusor muscle help me get it under control, and it took about 5 months before I was confident dispensing with the pads.

For the fecal incontinence (which I didn't experience), you could also try adding some dietary constipants to your diet, like yogurt, rice, bananas, and kefir. When I experienced severe diarrhea during an aid deployment to Africa 10 years ago, it was eating lots of plain, unsweetened yoghurt that started my recovery.

“unsweetened yoghurt’

Sounds like eating that yogurt was a painful decision.
