Navina Mini Why Choose Navina Mini?
Struggling with bowel problems?
Bowel problems can have a significant impact on your health and quality of life, causing distress and embarrassment which can result in avoiding social situations due to the fear of accidents. These issues are more common than you might think, but unfortunately, they are not commonly discussed. Thankfully, there are products available to help. One of them is Navina Mini - a low volume bowel irrigation device that offers an easy to use solution to help with your symptoms.
What is low-volume bowel irrigation?
Low-volume bowel irrigation effectively cleans the lower part of the bowel using a rectal cone to introduce water (less than 250ml) and wash out poop. It’s drug-free and provides an alternative to medications and dietary restrictions.
Could Navina Mini help you?
Navina Mini can be used by adults, adolescents, and children from age 3 who suffer from bowel problems. It is a discreet and intuitive low-volume irrigation solution that can help with symptoms such as the feeling of incomplete emptying or passive faecal incontinence (leaking stool without knowing). There are many different underlying causes which could lead to these symptoms, but some conditions could include:
-
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a broad constellation of symptoms and changes related to abnormal function of the pelvic floor musculature. This causes symptoms such as (but not limited to):
- Faecal inctinence (involuntary loss of stool)
- Constipation and the feeling of incomplete emptying
- Pelvic pain
- Difficulty urinating and urinary incontinence
Common causes of PFD can be pregnancy and childbirth, age, injury and obesity.
-
Rectocele
Rectocele is a bulge in the anterior or posterior rectal wall that traps stool and results in incomplete emptying. Symptoms include:
- Pelvic pressure
- Constipation
- Vaginal discomfort
- A visual bulge in the vaginal wall
- Frequent urinary tract infections
Causes of rectocele can be long-lasting cough / bronchitis, long-lasting constipation, birth-related tears, obesity and repeated heavy lifting.
-
Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS)
Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) is a constellation of symptoms experienced by up to 80% of patients following surgery for rectal cancer. The rectum functions as a container for stool, and once this function is removed it may lead to changed bowel function. Symptoms of LARS include:
- Involuntary passing of gas
- Frequent bowel urgency
- Defecation urgency
- A feeling of incomplete emptying
- Stool leakage
Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy may also cause nerve damage and inflammation, which may lead to impaired rectal sensation and chronic bowel changes.
