Leaking stool, staining your underwear, or feeling like you have to plan your day around the bathroom can feel isolating. It can also feel embarrassing to say out loud. But bowel control problems are more common than many people realize, and treatment options are available.
That is why Dr. Erin King-Mullins, double board-certified general and colorectal surgeon at Colorectal Wellness Center, is hosting a free, anonymous virtual educational webinar on Wednesday, July 29 at 6:30 PM ET to discuss bowel control symptoms, fecal incontinence, and available treatment options.
What Is Fecal Incontinence?
Fecal incontinence means having difficulty controlling bowel movements. For some people, it may look like occasional staining in underwear. For others, it may involve unexpected leakage, urgency, accidents, or difficulty making it to the bathroom in time.
Patients may describe symptoms like leaking stool, bowel accidents, constant urgency, staining, unpredictable diarrhea, or feeling like they cannot fully trust their body. These symptoms can impact work, travel, social plans, intimacy, exercise, and confidence.
Why This Webinar Matters
Many people silently manage bowel control symptoms for months or years because they feel too embarrassed to ask for help. But silence does not make the issue go away. In many cases, patients simply do not know that advanced treatment options exist.
This virtual event is designed to be educational, private, and approachable. Attendees can learn about symptoms, causes, and treatment pathways without feeling exposed or judged.
What You Will Learn
- Common symptoms and causes of fecal incontinence
- Why bowel control problems happen after childbirth, surgery, aging, pelvic floor changes, nerve issues, or other conditions
- What treatment options may be available
- How sacral neuromodulation therapy, including InterStim therapy, may help certain patients regain control
- What next steps may look like if you want to be evaluated by a colorectal specialist
Who Should Attend?
This webinar may be helpful for adults in Atlanta, Fayetteville, Peachtree City, South Atlanta, and surrounding Georgia communities who struggle with leaking stool, fecal urgency, bowel accidents, staining, or loss of bowel control. It may also be helpful for caregivers, pelvic floor therapists, primary care providers, OB-GYNs, and anyone who supports patients with bowel or bladder control concerns.
You do not need to know whether you are a candidate for a specific treatment before attending. This event is simply a first step toward understanding what may be happening and what options are available.
