Anal Incontinence Treatment

The inability to control one’s colorectal muscles can be caused by any number of factors, but the end result is almost always the same.

What Causes Anal Incontinence?

This issue is far more widespread than most individuals might think, and impacts between two and three percent of the population, at some point in their lives. Many consider this condition to be embarrassing and might seek to avoid treatment, as a result.

At NYBG Colorectal, we’re here to assure you that no medical issue should be considered embarrassing and that we’ll help you find a solution that helps you solve your issue and rejoin your daily routine as normal.

Addressing the Root Cause

A key aspect of anal incontinence is that it tends to be a symptom caused by a larger issue, rather than a condition in and of itself. As such, during your consultation, we’ll review your lifestyle, your medical history, and your symptoms as carefully as possible, to address the root cause of your problem. This will enable us to craft a treatment plan that ensures it never comes back.

Treating Your Anal Incontinence

Many of the issues that we see here at NYBG Colorectal can be addressed with conservative treatments, especially when caught early on. The treatment plan to find relief from your anal incontinence will depend upon the severity of your issue. If a more conservative plan doesn’t work, anal tightening surgery is an alternative option.

The Conservative Approach

In many cases, when the issue is addressed early on, changes can be made to your diet that can help relieve the issue. Exercises that help to strengthen and develop the muscles in the area can also work to relieve the symptoms of anal incontinence, especially if the case is relatively mild.

Anus Tightening Surgery

If your anal incontinence is quite severe, then anal tightening surgery may be recommended. During this surgery, Dr. Kulvir Nandra will carefully repair the muscles in the area, strengthening them and effectively eliminating your incontinence problem moving forward.

Helping You Find Recovery

Dr. Kulvir Nandra and his team focus on a highly empathetic, patient-centric approach to their work. Not only will they work with you to craft a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific issues, but they will ensure that you have all the information you need to make your way through the procedure with complete peace of mind.

You’ll get detailed aftercare and recovery instructions as part of your consultation, and we’ll schedule follow-up appointments with you to ensure that you’re healing properly. When you’re ready to learn more about how we can address your anal incontinence issues, simply reach out to our New York location and set up your consultation with a member of our staff today!
