Fecal Incontinence & Bowel Dysfunction
Fecal Incontinence & Bowel Dysfunction
Repairing anal sphincters and treating accidental bowel leakage or constipation.
Fecal incontinence—accidental leakage of stool or gas—and chronic constipation can significantly affect quality of life. Causes include childbirth-related sphincter injury, nerve damage, and pelvic floor muscle weakness.
We evaluate these conditions with a thorough history, examination, and targeted studies when needed. Treatment may include dietary and behavioral changes, pelvic floor physical therapy, sphincter repair, or sacral neuromodulation depending on the underlying cause.
