Fecal Incontinence Treatment Options

Depending on your underlying cause, these treatments may be recommended.
Customized Treatment Plan
After your initial consultation, our specialists will develop a customized treatment plan that may be inclusive of diet changes, prescription medications and simple lifestyle modifications.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
To strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, the muscles responsible for improving bowel control, pelvic floor therapy may be prescribed. This can involve bowel training, kegel exercise and biofeedback.

A minimally invasive bowel incontinence treatment called Axonics Therapy may be recommended to restore healthy communication between the brain, bladder and bowel.
