Bowel/Fecal Incontinence
Welcome to Naab Road Surgical Center, the leading hospital in Washington, IN providing high-quality urology services to our patients. Our team of dedicated urologists specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of various urological conditions, including bowel and fecal incontinence.
What is Bowel/Fecal Incontinence?
Bowel or fecal incontinence refers to the inability to control bowel movements, leading to involuntary leakage of stool. It can cause significant distress and impact an individual's quality of life. It may be caused by various factors, including muscle or nerve damage, diarrhea, constipation, or structural abnormalities in the rectum or anus.
Diagnosis
At Naab Road Surgical Center, our experienced urologists employ advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately assess and determine the underlying causes of bowel or fecal incontinence. A thorough medical history review, physical examination, and specialized tests, such as anorectal manometry, imaging studies, or endoscopy, may be performed.
Treatment Options
Our highly skilled urologists offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's condition and needs. Treatment for bowel or fecal incontinence may include:
1. Lifestyle Modifications
Simple lifestyle changes, such as dietary adjustments, maintaining regular bowel habits, and pelvic floor exercises, can often help improve symptoms and manage bowel incontinence.
2. Medications
In some cases, medications may be prescribed to help regulate bowel movements, reduce diarrhea, or improve sphincter muscle function. Your urologist will determine the appropriate medication based on your specific condition.
3. Biofeedback Therapy
Biofeedback therapy helps train the muscles involved in bowel control by providing feedback on their activity. It can be effective in improving muscle coordination and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
4. Physical Therapy
Our skilled physical therapists work closely with urologists to develop individualized exercise programs targeting the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises aim to enhance muscle strength, endurance, and coordination, promoting better control over bowel movements.
5. Surgical Interventions
In cases where conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief, surgical interventions may be considered. Surgical options for bowel or fecal incontinence include sphincteroplasty, sacral nerve stimulation, or artificial bowel sphincter placement. Our expert surgeons at Naab Road Surgical Center have extensive experience in performing these procedures.
