Several methods.: There are several ways to regulate passing stools in the face of paraplegia. Digital stimulation works well, but a program using certain suppositories can also be effective. You should work with your doctor and occupational therapist to establish what works best in your particular setting. Sometimes it requires trial and error. Good luck!
