Women's Health and Pelvic Conditions
Fecal Incontinence Physiotherapy in Indirapuram
Fecal incontinence, difficulty controlling the bowel, is more common than people realise and often not talked about. It can follow childbirth injuries, surgery or neurological conditions. Pelvic floor and sphincter training can help many people.
Causes
Tears or damage to the anal sphincter during childbirth are a common cause in women. Other causes include pelvic surgery, nerve damage, chronic constipation with overflow, diarrhoea and neurological conditions.
What physiotherapy offers
Treatment starts with a careful, private assessment. Pelvic floor and anal sphincter exercises improve strength and control. Techniques to manage urgency help you delay and reach the toilet. Advice on stool consistency, diet, fluid and toileting position can make a significant difference.
Some people benefit from biofeedback or electrical stimulation to improve awareness and muscle activation.
Talking about it
Many people wait years before seeking help because of embarrassment. We treat these conversations with complete discretion and respect. It's a medical problem with real treatment options.

Medical note
This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Treatment is planned after an in-person assessment by a physiotherapist, and we refer you to a doctor where symptoms need medical review first. If you have sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, chest pain or severe unexplained pain, seek emergency care.
