Abstract

Medical treatment and especially hygienic support should be the first steps in the management of fecal incontinence.

They should support the different surgical and rehabilitation therapies which will be applied later on.

Treatment should be tailored to the individual patient, considering the possibility to choose one or more strategies, based on the causes of incontinence, the patient’s age and general health condition, and the impact of incontinence on quality of life.

The therapeutic approach must include proper hygiene and dietary education, combined, if necessary, with drug therapy.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation and education on the use of devices and management of transanal irrigation will be considered at a later stage of the treatment.

Psychological factors can originate from or cause incontinence and should be considered part of the general care plan.

The results that may be obtained, some of them decisive while others often only improving the patient’s situation, require perseverance and regular follow-up, both of which are highly recommended.
