Fecal Incontinence (FI) Facts
You are not alone – find relief for bowel control problems
Fecal Incontinence (FI) is a treatable condition. It’s not a normal part of aging. And you shouldn’t have to deal with it on your own.
Sacral neuromodulation is a treatment option for people who experience fecal incontinence. This treatment involves the use of a small device called a neurostimulator, which is placed under the skin near the sacral nerves in the lower back. This procedure aims to restore normal function to the sacral nerves and improve bowel control in individuals with fecal incontinence. It can be an effective treatment option for those who have not found relief from other conservative treatments and are seeking a long-term solution.
