Fecal Incontinence Care
in Naples, FL
Florida Bladder Institute provides compassionate and effective treatment for fecal incontinence, a condition that impacts many but is often not discussed. Also known as accidental bowel leakage, this condition can be upsetting and affect your confidence. You do not have to manage it alone; our team offers advanced medical and minimally invasive solutions to help you regain control.
Understanding Fecal Incontinence
Fecal incontinence (FI) is the inability to control bowel movements, resulting in the accidental leakage of stool or gas. A primary cause, especially in women, is damage to the pelvic floor muscles and nerves that can occur during childbirth. These symptoms may not appear for many years, but effective treatments are available to restore function and confidence.
Your Path to Bowel Control
Initial Consultation and Evaluation
Your first visit involves a confidential and compassionate discussion about your symptoms and medical history. We prioritize creating a comfortable environment where you can speak openly with our specialists. This initial evaluation is the first step toward understanding your condition.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing
To identify the cause of your symptoms, we use advanced diagnostic tools. This may involve assessing pelvic floor muscle strength or using the Wexner Score to quantify severity. We may also ask you to keep a Bowel Activity Diary, recording dietary intake and leakage episodes. This detailed information is invaluable for creating an effective treatment plan.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Based on your diagnosis, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle. Our goal is to provide a solution that works for you, with options ranging from medical management to minimally invasive therapies. We will explain all available alternatives so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Ongoing Support and Care
Treatment for fecal incontinence often involves ongoing support to ensure lasting results. We provide continuity of care through follow-up appointments, making adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. Our team is committed to supporting you throughout your journey to better bowel health.
