Fecal management refers to the management and treatment of fecal incontinence. It includes the use of ostomy pouches and other medical options to help in treating and maintaining fecal incontinence. Fecal incontinence is basically the inability of the body to control the excretion of feces from the body, leading to involuntary discharge of fecal matter from the body. Catheter and ostomy systems are commonly used where doctors perform a colostomy and bring the colon out of the abdominal wall into an ostomy bag. This is usually the last resort as initially exercises, dietary restrictions, and medications are used to see if the condition can be treated non-surgically.
