Bowel dysfunction is a distressing issue that many women face but hesitate to discuss openly. Bowel dysfunction includes constipation and loss of control of wind or poo. This can be either small amounts and staining or whole bowel movements. These problems can be caused by traumatic births, changes in hormones, stress and bowel habits or conditions like IBS.
How We Can Help
Your physiotherapy assessment will be a thorough check of physical, emotional and lifestyle factors that can affect bowel habits. It may include both an internal vaginal and rectal exam but this is optional and will be fully discussed with you at the assessment. A personalised treatment plan may include pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes to improve gut health, and bowel function. We put your comfort first and work with you to make a plan that fits your goals and way of life as a whole.
