The process of managing faecal incontinence or constipation is called “bowel management.”
Bowel management can involve diet- and liquid regulation, regular exercise, use of laxatives or constipation drugs, diapers or pads, digital stimulation, or evacuation, bowel irrigation (also called rectal irrigation [RI] or transanal irrigation [TAI]) and in severe situations, may involve surgical options as an ostomy surgery.
