Bowel incontinence is NOT what you think it is!
from Life Without Leaks · host National Association for Continence
If you're thinking, "I don't have a problem with bowel incontinence because I don't have explosive episodes," you may not realize just how broad a condition bowel incontinence actually is and all the different issues it encompasses. In fact, by some estimates, 27 million people in America experience some form of bowel incontinence - that's an enormous number of people, most of whom are terribly uncomfortable talking about it. That's why we're excited to be joined today by Dr. Jannah Thompson. She's a board certified urogynecologist and urologist in private practice in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and she's an expert not only about the diagnosis and treatment of bowel issues, but also about making patients feel comfortable reaching out and finding the help they need. Dr. Thompson can be found at happybladdermi.com, and you can visit her on Facebook @jannahthompsonmd.com.For more information about the National Association for Continence, click here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.Music:Rainbows Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
