Incontinence

The pelvic floor stretches from the pubic bone to the spinal cord and is comparable to a hammock that supports the organs of the pelvis such as the bladder. Dysfunction occurs when the pelvic floor is damaged or weakened. Damage to the pelvic floor can result from childbirth, genetics, injury, medications or surgery.

Fecal incontinence results in the involuntary loss of stool or gas caused by decreased tonicity and contractile weakness of the anal sphincter. Fortunately, there is treatment available for anyone suffering from fecal incontinence.
