- ColonoscopyMy surgery was March 16, 2022. There was never an issue. Every detail was exactly as Dr. Feldman had explained. I feel so blessed the cancer was found early (get your colonoscopy) and that Dr Feldman was my surgeon. I am also very blessed the cancer was contained to one section of my colon and the cancerous section was removed. My recovery has gone according to schedule with no complications. I do not need any further treatment. Thank you Dr. Feldman and to your team for a successful surgery and the amazing care given to me.

- DiarrheaOur experienced doctors and health professionals understand that fecal incontinence can be a sensitive issue and we offer a variety of treatments and support for patients suffering from this disorder. Determining the cause of bowel incontinence is an important part of choosing the right treatment. Doctors use a variety of painless methods to determine the cause, including a digital rectal exam, anal manometry, anorectal ultrasonography, defecography, and colonoscopy. Once a cause is determined, treatment may include dietary changes, medication, rehabilitation for the sphincter, or even, surgery. With current treatment modalities, many patients who suffer from fecal incontinence can have a tremendous improvement in their quality of life.
- Endometriosis
- Labor and DeliveryAging may contribute to fecal continence. As the body gets older, the muscles are not as strong as they once were and patients are no longer able to control their bowel movements as well. Fecal incontinence can also be caused by hemorrhoids, chronic constipation, diarrhea, a damaged sphincter muscle, nerve injury, anal infections, laxative abuse, or pelvic prolapse. The risk of fecal incontinence later in life is increased if damage occurs to the sphincter muscle during childbirth.
