Consider PT: There are some non-surgical ways to improve incontinence. Adding fiber and even Imodium (loperamide) may make the stools firmer, making incontinence less likely. Also consider physical therapy for pelvic floor weakness. Unsupervised kegel exercises are often not very effective. We now have several surgical options, including interstim, solesta, and secca. A colon and rectal surgeon can help you with this.
