Introduction[edit | edit source]
The pattern of bowel dysfunction varies depending on the level of injury. The complications of neurogenic bowel dysfunction include constipation, obstructive defecation, and fecal incontinence.[1] Bowel dysfunction can cause major restrictions in person's social activities and quality of life. [2] There is no single program that can work for every patient, but bladder and bowel dysfunction management program is a fundamental step following the initial spinal cord injury.
This article supplies additional information for the Bladder and Bowel Consideration with Spinal Cord Injury course.
