Bowel incontinence

Introduction

On this page you will find information on bowel or faecal incontinence and advice on what you can do at home and how to contact our service if you need extra support.

 

Sudden change in habits with no known cause

Please contact your GP if you experience a change in bowel habits or bleeding with no known cause.

 

Please remember

Most bladder and bowel problems can be cured or greatly improved by simple treatments. By following the healthy bladder and bowel habits, you will be halfway to solving your problem.

Our focus is on continence not incontinence.

 

 

Rydym yn croesawu gohebiaeth a galwadau ffôn yn y Gymraeg neu'r Saesneg. Atebir gohebiaeth Gymraeg yn y Gymraeg, ac ni fydd hyn yn arwain at oedi. Mae’r dudalen hon ar gael yn Gymraeg drwy bwyso’r botwm ar y dde ar frig y dudalen.

We welcome correspondence and telephone calls in Welsh or English. Welsh language correspondence will be replied to in Welsh, and this will not lead to a delay. This page is available in Welsh by clicking ‘Cymraeg’ at the top right of this page.
