Bowel Dysfunction

Bowel dysfunction refers to problems with how the intestines and rectum work together to control bowel movements. It can cause symptoms like constipation, diarrhea, incontinence (accidental leakage), or a feeling of incomplete evacuation. These issues may result from nerve damage, muscle weakness, or underlying health conditions affecting the digestive system. Bowel dysfunction can significantly impact daily life, but treatments like medications, dietary changes, pelvic floor exercises, or medical procedures can often improve symptoms and help restore normal function. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalized management plan.
