Incontinence: A Fairly Common Problem
Bladder and bowel control are complex processes that involve the brain, spinal cord and muscles of the bladder, bowel and pelvis. Loss of bladder or bowel control can be caused by problems with any of these components.
Fecal Incontinence
People with fecal incontinence are often reluctant to discuss their condition with anyone. Many of them withdraw from family and friends and stay home as much as possible because they are fearful of having an accident in public. And some don't seek help because they believe that nothing can be done.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Surgery for Incontinence
Urinary incontinence (urine leakage) can be treated during pelvic organ prolapse surgery. The goal of surgery is to hold the urethra and bladder firmly in place to prevent leakage and relieve your symptoms.
