Navina Insert Why choose Navina Insert
Struggling with faecal incontinence?
To most people, not being able to trust and control your body is devastating. If you are dealing with bowel leakage you know that both the physical and psychological consequences feel limiting and may stop you from doing what you want. Fortunately, there is help available.
What is faecal incontinence?
Faecal incontinence is a medical term for bowel leakage that refers to the loss of normal control of the bowel, leading to leakage of solid or liquid stool, mucus or gas.
Sometimes containment products – such as pads or rectal plugs – are needed to control leakage. A rectal plug may feel intimidating but using it as a rectal seal that keeps the stool in place presents certain extra advantages, such as reducing the risk of having an accident, smell and getting skin issues.
Could Navina Insert help you?
Navina Insert is intended for adults who experience different types of fecal incontinence, either as stool coming out without warning, which is known as passive fecal incontinence, or as a sudden bowel movement that can’t be controlled, which is called urge fecal incontinence. There are many different underlying causes which could lead to these symptoms, but some could include:
-
Loose stool
Loose stool can occur due to for example food intolerence or medications.
-
Constipation
Bowel leakage can occur as the result of water stool passing the hard stool that is stuck in the bowel when constipated.
-
Change or damage
Change or damage to the anal canal or rectum can occur following childbirth or surgery, such as the removal of hemoorhoids or a tumour.
-
Mobility issues and obesity
Other factors that can heighten the risk of bowel leakage can be limited mobility that makes it hard to reach the toilet in time, as well as being physically inactive and obesity.
