Solutions for Fecal Incontinence

♪ [music] ♪

Fecal incontinence is where a person
will lose control over their bowels.

It's obviously embarrassing
and can be socially isolating.

And so we try and help people who are
experiencing that problem. It is treatable.

So first, we typically start with
diet modification and adding fiber.

Sometimes for people who have long-term diarrhea,
we'll start adding, like, a over-the-counter Imodium,

and then if those things don't work, then
we move on to physical therapy to help

strengthen the muscles.

Then if that is not enough, there are
nerve modulators which go into our low back

which stimulate the nerve, that's
the S3 nerve, it controls our bowels,

and it helps give that nerve extra electricity,
and it helps us get better control,

gives us more time to make it to
the bathroom and less accidents.

Our goal is to get people at least
50% less accidents and leakage.

And most patients have a significant higher percentage.

It doesn't sound like a lot, but when you're
leaking and you're leaking 50% less and

you can go out to dinner without, you
know, fearing that you...you know,

without looking for every bathroom around every
corner, it's a lot of...it's more independence,

it gets people back into society because we've
already experienced how lonely it can be with COVID.

We don't want people having to
stay home because of leakage.
