About Faecal Incontinence

Faecal incontinence, also known as bowel incontinence, is the inability to control bowel movements, leading to the involuntary passage of stool. A gastroenterologist manages this condition through a comprehensive, non-surgical approach focused on diagnosis and conservative treatment. The process begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination, including a digital rectal exam. Diagnostic tests such as anorectal manometry (to assess sphincter muscle pressure and function), anal ultrasound (to visualize sphincter structure), and proctography (to evaluate rectal function) are commonly employed. Based on the findings, treatment is tailored and may include dietary modifications, bowel training programs, pelvic floor physical therapy (biofeedback), and medications to manage stool consistency. This patient-centered approach aims to restore bowel control and significantly improve quality of life.
