| | ► Bowel retraining |
| | Prior to beginning a bowel training program, you should receive a thorough physical examination to identify the cause of the fecal incontinence and treat any correctable disorders (such as a fecal impaction or infectious diarrhea). | | | Strengthening the tone of the rectal muscles may help achieve some degree of bowel control in those people who have fecal incontinence caused by an incompetent rectal sphincter. | | | Digital stimulation is performed by inserting a lubricated finger into the anus and using a circular motion, stimulate the lower bowel until the sphincter relaxes. |

| | Bowel cancer may cause lower abdominal pain that is typically colicky. | | | In any form of bowel surgery, the patient is normally warned that the surgeon might have to create a colostomy stoma (opening of the bowel onto the abdomen that is covered by a bag). | | | The bowel cancers in affected individuals tend to develop as flat lesions rather than as polyps. |

| | THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 3, Ch. 32, Functional Bowel Disorders |
| | Diagnosis of IBS is based on characteristic bowel patterns, time and character of pain, and exclusion of other disease processes through physical examination and routine diagnostic tests. | | | Features of IBS are pain relieved by defecation, an alternating pattern of bowel habits, abdominal distention, mucus in the stool, and sensation of incomplete evacuation after defecation. | | | The pain is either colicky, coming in bouts, or a continuous dull ache; it may be relieved by a bowel movement. |

| | Irritable Bowel Syndrome--A Poorly Understood Disorder |
| | Spiro, who continues his practice as a consulting gastroenterologist, believes that irritable bowel for many people is an emotional response to the troubles and incidents of everyday life, which he says have always led to digestive problems, and probably always will. | | | For years, many thought it was a psychological condition, rather than a physical one. | | | Specifically, the agency was concerned about earlier reports of mild-to-moderate intestinal damage resulting from reduced blood flow to the intestine (ischemic colitis) and obstructed or ruptured bowels from complications of severe constipation. |
