Fecal Incontinence: Dr. Mistry Talks Treatment Options For Men and Women Experiencing Leakage or Urgency

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a patient question on fecal incontinence. Incontinence and urgency are very common in both men and women, but can be a very uncomfortable and embarrassing. The causes for urinary and fecal incontinence can vary--women who have given birth to multiple children often experience incontinence due to a prolapse of the pelvic floor and the muscles it holds in place, whereas in men, fecal incontinence may indicate a neurological issue. No matter the cause, there are many things you can do to address this problem, including pelvic floor physical therapy, medication, neuromodulation (Dr. Mistry describes this treatment as a "pacemaker for the bladder," but it can also be used for fecal incontinence), and dietary solutions. Fortunately, NAU Urology Specialists has a diverse group of providers who specialize in different aspects of urologic care and who can therefore offer a range of solutions to address your individual needs.
