Your physiology : The Circular muscles called sphincters close tightly like rubber bands around the opening at the end of the rectum/anus until stool is ready to be released during a bowel movement.

Your Health Problem : FI (Fecal Incontinence / Faecal Incontinence) has many causes, including diarrhoea, constipation, muscle damage or weakness, nerve damage, loss of stretch in the rectum, haemorrhoids, and pelvic floor dysfunction.

Your treatment : Health care providers diagnose FI based on the patient’s medical history, a physical examination, and medical tests. Successful FI treatment relies on correctly diagnosing the underlying problem. Treatment may include eating, diet and nutrition, medication, pelvic floor exercises, bowel training, surgery, or delivery of radiofrequency energy to the internal anal sphincter via Secca Therapy.
