What is Fecal Incontinence?

Fecal incontinence is when a person loses the ability to control their bowel movement, resulting in leakage of gas or stool (feces) through the anus (back passage). It can range from difficulty with control of gas to more severe with loss of control over liquid or formed stool. It is a common problem, which can affect up to 1 in 10 people at some time in their lives. They may have bowel accidents that are caused by not being able to get to a toilet quickly enough (urge leakage), or they may experience soiling or leaking from the bowel without being aware of it (passive leakage).

"My surgery was excellent. The whole surgical staff was wonderful. I would say my Bulkamid procedure was as close to 100% effective as possible. Dr. Azadi runs an extremely professional clinic. I had bladder & uterine repair surgery done by him & at 72 years old I am amazed how well I was taken care of. Thank you Dr. Azadi!!!"

"I first saw Doctor Azadi three years ago for a hysterectomy he is very compassionate took lots of time explaining everything to me that was going to take place. I highly recommend him. I have returned today for a different concern with a bladder issue same compassionate person so thankful he is still there to help me again. I also referred to him to one of my friends who is going through terrible UTI infection for over a year she highly recommends him also."
