We coordinate specialized therapy to improve squeeze strength, sensory awareness, urge control, and bowel-emptying technique.

Have Questions Before Booking Fecal Incontinence Care?
Treatment begins by identifying whether leakage is caused by loose stool, constipation with overflow, muscle weakness, reduced sensation, nerve dysfunction, or pelvic-floor disease. Options include stool regulation, medication, bowel training, skin care, pelvic-floor biofeedback, nerve stimulation, or selected surgery.
Testing may include a bowel diary, physical and digital rectal examination, anorectal manometry, balloon-expulsion testing, anal ultrasound, pelvic MRI, defecography, stool studies, blood tests, or colonoscopy when indicated.
Not always. Medicines are most useful when diarrhea, bile-acid excess, or constipation contributes. Anti-diarrheal medicine can worsen overflow incontinence if retained hard stool is the real problem.
Yes. A food and stool diary can identify diarrhea triggers, while individualized soluble fiber may improve stool consistency. The plan differs for watery stool, constipation with overflow, food intolerance, or inflammatory disease.
Some patients improve within days or weeks after stool regulation. Pelvic-floor therapy often requires repeated sessions over weeks to months, and advanced procedures have their own trial, recovery, and monitoring timelines.
Yes. Sacral neuromodulation uses a temporary test phase before permanent implantation and can help selected patients who do not improve enough with conservative care. Other procedures target prolapse or structural injury.
Yes. Treatment is tailored to stool form, urgency, warning sensation, muscle strength, childbirth or surgery history, neurologic disease, daily routines, skin health, and personal goals.
Doctors consider leakage frequency, stool type, urgency, warning sensation, nighttime events, pad use, skin injury, quality-of-life effects, examination findings, and validated severity scores.
Use online scheduling or call GastroDoxs. Bring a bowel diary, medication list, childbirth and surgery history, prior testing, neurologic history, and details about accidents, urgency, and stool type.
Yes. Non-surgical options include diet and fiber adjustment, diarrhea or constipation treatment, medication, bowel training, skin care, pelvic-floor rehabilitation, biofeedback, continence products, and selected irrigation systems.
Yes. Ongoing leakage can cause skin breakdown, infection, odor, urinary problems, reduced activity, social isolation, anxiety, and worsening quality of life. The underlying bowel or neurologic condition may also progress.
Yes. Symptoms can recur if diarrhea, constipation, pelvic-floor dysfunction, nerve disease, prolapse, or muscle weakness returns or progresses. Long-term bowel management and follow-up reduce risk.
Doctors combine the leakage pattern, stool consistency, examination, prior injuries, medicines, neurologic history, and treatment goals. Testing is added only when results are likely to change management.
Yes. Older adults, postpartum patients, people with neurologic disease, and patients with diarrhea or overflow constipation may require different combinations of medication, therapy, devices, or procedures.
GastroDoxs provides private, respectful, cause-focused evaluation; coordinates stool treatment and pelvic-floor care; selects testing thoughtfully; and refers for advanced colorectal or nerve-based treatment when needed.
