InterStim for Fecal Incontinence: who’s a good candidate?
InterStim may help adults with fecal incontinence who haven't improved with diet changes, fiber, medicines, or pelvic floor therapy.
The short answer
InterStim may help adults with fecal incontinence who haven't improved with diet changes, fiber, medicines, or pelvic floor therapy.
A closer look
It stimulates the nerves that control the bowel and bladder. A trial comes first, so you see if it helps before a long-term implant.
What you can do next
If bowel leaks affect your life, ask whether InterStim fits you.
