- ColonoscopyColonoscopies are either diagnostic or preventive. The difference between the two is sometimes hard to distinguish, but there is big difference on how insurance companies cover either procedure. Knowing the difference between the two types of colonoscopies is an important step before scheduling your colonoscopy. We have included a general rule of thumb below; however, please make sure to consult with your physician and your insurance plan for a more detailed and personalized view of the different types of colonoscopies.
- DiarrheaFecal incontinence, also called bowel incontinence, is the inability to control bowel movements, causing stool (feces) to leak unexpectedly from the rectum. Fecal incontinence ranges from occasional leakage to complete loss of bowel control. There are many causes of fecal incontinence. An effective treatment for most causes is sacral nerve stimulation (or InterStim).
