Dr. Nasseri approaches this sensitive condition with discretion, compassion, and a full range of modern treatments. Most patients see meaningful improvement, and many regain complete control.

Understanding Bowel Control Problems
Fecal incontinence ranges from occasional leakage to a complete loss of control. Identifying the pattern and cause guides the right treatment.
Urge Incontinence
A sudden, strong need to go with too little time to reach a bathroom, often related to muscle weakness.
Passive Leakage
Leakage that happens without awareness, frequently linked to nerve or sphincter dysfunction.
Overflow
Leakage around hard stool from chronic constipation, which often improves once the underlying issue is treated.
Symptoms and Causes
Symptoms range from occasional stool or gas leakage to frequent, unpredictable accidents that limit work, travel, and social life. Many patients also experience urgency and reduced quality of life.
Common causes include muscle or nerve damage from childbirth or prior surgery, chronic diarrhea or constipation, rectal prolapse, and age-related weakening. Because there are many possible causes, a careful evaluation is essential. Dr. Nasseri pinpoints the cause and matches it to the most effective treatment.
Fecal Incontinence Treatment Options
Dr. Nasseri offers a full spectrum of treatments, beginning with the least invasive options and advancing only as needed.
Diet & Medication
Simple dietary changes and medications to regulate stool consistency resolve many milder cases.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Targeted exercises and biofeedback strengthen the muscles that control continence.
Sacral Neuromodulation
A highly effective, minimally invasive therapy that gently stimulates the nerves controlling the bowel.
Sphincter Repair
When muscle damage is the cause, surgical repair can restore control.
Treating the Root Cause
Addressing related problems such as prolapse or chronic diarrhea often improves continence dramatically.
