There are several modalities for treating neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD), including conservative treatments (diet, medications, biofeedback, transanal irrigation, massage, electrical stimulation, anal plug). When conservative treatments fail, clinicians can choose from a variety of therapeutic options, including colostomies, Malone anterograde continence enemas, sacral anterior root stimulator implantations, graciloplasties, and artificial bowel sphincters. We reviewed the various treatments for constipation and/or fecal incontinence in patients with NBD and propose over-reaching stepwise algorithms for the management of NBD. Our review included English language articles, randomized controlled studies, cohort studies, case-control studies, and retrospective studies (if necessary) that assessed the management of NBD. Our literature search identified 577 articles, of which 79 met our inclusion criteria. There is little evidence for the success of conservative but non-pharmacological treatments. There is strong evidence for the success of pharmacological interventions (i.e., prokinetic agents) in the treatment of chronic constipation. While surgical interventions may be considered, there is little evidence of their effectiveness. Bowel management programs for patients with neurologic diseases require a multi-faceted approach. While a range of medical and surgical treatments are available, there is little evidence for their effectiveness, with the exception of pharmacological interventions.

(+info)Neurogenic bowel is a term used to describe disturbances in bowel function due to damage to the nervous system. This can result from conditions such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or stroke. The damage can affect the nerves that control the muscles responsible for bowel movements, leading to symptoms like constipation, fecal incontinence, or both. Treatment often involves a combination of dietary modifications, medication, and biofeedback therapy.
Neurogenic bladder is a term used to describe bladder dysfunction due to neurological damage or disease. The condition can result in problems with bladder storage and emptying, leading to symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, hesitancy, incontinence, and retention.
Neurogenic bladder can occur due to various medical conditions, including spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, diabetic neuropathy, and stroke. The damage to the nerves that control bladder function can result in overactivity or underactivity of the bladder muscle, leading to urinary symptoms.
Management of neurogenic bladder typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including medications, bladder training, catheterization, and surgery in some cases. The specific treatment plan depends on the underlying cause of the condition and the severity of the symptoms.
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) refer to damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function, such as mobility or feeling. This injury can be caused by direct trauma to the spine or by indirect damage resulting from disease or degeneration of surrounding bones, tissues, or blood vessels. The location and severity of the injury on the spinal cord will determine which parts of the body are affected and to what extent.
The effects of SCI can range from mild sensory changes to severe paralysis, including loss of motor function, autonomic dysfunction, and possible changes in sensation, strength, and reflexes below the level of injury. These injuries are typically classified as complete or incomplete, depending on whether there is any remaining function below the level of injury.
Immediate medical attention is crucial for spinal cord injuries to prevent further damage and improve the chances of recovery. Treatment usually involves immobilization of the spine, medications to reduce swelling and pressure, surgery to stabilize the spine, and rehabilitation to help regain lost function. Despite advances in treatment, SCI can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life and ability to perform daily activities.

Dealing with neurogenic bladder1
- We discussed issues of hygiene that are so important when dealing with neurogenic bladder. (kevinmd.com)
Fecal4
- As I explained in part one of this article about the bladder , neurogenic bowel is similarly described as a lack of nervous control which prevents the bowel from functioning correctly resulting in fecal incontinence, chronic constipation or both. (shieldhealthcare.com)
- Most people who have had a fecal impaction will need a bowel retraining program. (medlineplus.gov)
- If nerves that control the bladder or bowel become damaged, it can result in urinary or fecal incontinence. (medicalnewstoday.com)
- The Pelvic Floor Health Center is a multidisciplinary program that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of defecation disorders and other disorders of the pelvic floor, including fecal incontinence, constipation, rectovaginal fistulas, pelvic organ prolapse and neurogenic bowel disorders. (bcm.edu)
Incontinence3
- Experiencing a bladder accident in public is one thing, but dealing with bowel incontinence is on a whole other level. (shieldhealthcare.com)
- Bowel and urinary incontinence refers to the inability to control the release of feces, gas or urine from the body. (bcm.edu)
- Gastrointestinal anomalies can involve inability to control bowel movements (incontinence, encopresis) and an imperforate anus. (orpha.net)
Continence5
- Neurogenic continence. (qxmd.com)
- Neurogenic bowel treatments and continence outcomes in children and adults with myelomeningocele. (bvsalud.org)
- The International Continence Society is a registered charity with a global health focus which strives to improve the quality of life for people affected by urinary, bowel and pelvic floor disorders by advancing basic and clinical science through education, research, and advocacy. (ics.org)

- 6. If the Trust does not employ a specialist continence nurse, is there another health care professional who undertakes intimate digital bowel care procedures including manual bowel evacuation? (whatdotheyknow.com)
Movements4
- Babies' bowel movements change as they go from new-born to the weaning stage (eating solid food) and beyond. (eric.org.uk)
- Read more about bowel movements in children aged 0-5 years. (eric.org.uk)
- Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, such as increasing fiber and water intake, and sometimes medication to help soften the stool or stimulate bowel movements. (bcm.edu)

Disorders1
- Injury to and disorders of the CNS affect bowel function in various ways, depending on the location and severity of the damage. (medscape.com)
Flaccid1
- In flaccid (hypotonic) neurogenic bladder, volume is large, pressure is low, and contractions are absent. (msdmanuals.com)
Sphincter4
- These nerves are responsible for moving food through the digestive system, controlling the anal sphincter, and emptying the bladder and bowel. (medicalnewstoday.com)
- Non-neurogenic causes include obstetric trauma (sphincter muscle damage after childbirth), cancer of the bowel or colon, Inflammatory bowel disease. (coloplast.ie)
- Control of the external anal sphincter muscles may also be disrupted, increasing the risk of bowel accidents. (coloplast.ie)
- Although the anal sphincter muscle (the muscle that keeps the anus closed) remains tight, it will open on a reflex basis when the rectum becomes full and, therefore, the bowel can empty at any time unless appropriately managed. (coloplast.ie)
Obstruction2
- Genitourinary anomalies can involve unilateral or bilateral renal agenesis, renal ectopia and fused ureters, and generally lead to urinary obstruction, neurogenic bladder, enuresis, or vesicoureteral reflux. (orpha.net)
- Gastrostomy tube placement may be needed for nutritional support, as in the setting of neurogenic dysphagia or head and neck malignancy, or for gastric decompression, as in the setting of malignant small bowel obstruction. (thieme-connect.com)
Loss of bladder1
- Because the cauda equina sends sensations to the bladder, bowel, and legs, people with CES can lose muscle sensation, resulting in loss of bladder and bowel control. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Chronic constipation1
- If you experience bowel leakage and/or chronic constipation you are not alone. (coloplast.ie)
Evacuation1
- I am prone to excessive gas build-up because of a slower moving system, therefore foods that may breakdown slowly and/or ferment over time like red meat, fish and heavy greens such as kale are consumed just prior to a bowel movement for immediate evacuation. (shieldhealthcare.com)

- However, the primary nerve pathway that controls bowel function is the enteric nervous system (ENS), a complex network of nerves present in the walls of the gastrointestinal tract. (medicalnewstoday.com)
- Several conditions can affect the nerves that control bowel or bladder function. (medicalnewstoday.com)
- In a neurogenic bladder, the nerves that are supposed to carry these messages to the bladder do not work properly so the bladder is not able to store or empty urine effectively. (chop.edu)
Abdominal1
- for example, chronic intestinal inflammation may provoke changes in detrusor activity with increased frequency of micturition, while neurogenic cystitis may be associated with abdominal hyperalgesia. (nursekey.com)
Treatments1
- In some cases bowel problems can be completely cured and in others they can be effectively managed with the right products or treatments, so you can regain your quality of life. (coloplast.ie)
Small bowel3
