What's the Poop? Dr. Bowden-McKay of Capitol Gastro on Fecal Incontinence

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in medical and urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment,  Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by gastroenterologist Dr. Crystal Bowden-McKay of Capitol Gastro for a discussion of fecal incontinence. While urinary incontinence is more commonly treated by urologists, fecal incontinence often shares similar causes, such as pelvic trauma or weakened pelvic floor muscles. Other potential causes for fecal incontinence include a history of hemorrhoids or anal fissures and surgeries to remedy them as well as injuries to the anus. Fecal incontinence can look like anal leakage which accumulates in small amounts in the underwear throughout the day, or it can be more substantial leakage of liquid or solid stood that soaks through clothing and onto furniture. Both can be very disruptive and limit the quality of the patient's life, sometimes requiring the person to remain homebound.
