FECAL INCONTINENCE
PREVENTION |
|
|
Can fecal incontinence be prevented? It
depends on the cause of the problem.
Fecal incontinence due to chronic constipation can be improved or
eliminated by treating the constipation. Getting more exercise,
eating high-fiber foods and drinking plenty of fluids are generally
advised to avoid constipation.
If diarrhea is to blame, treating or eliminating the cause of the
diarrhea, such as an intestinal infection, may help you avoid
accidents.
Straining during bowel movements eventually may weaken anal
sphincter muscles and, at times, lead to fecal incontinence, so
avoid straining when possible. |
