Fecal incontinence, or the inability to control bowel movements, can be a distressing condition that affects daily life and confidence. While surgery is one option, many patients prefer non-surgical treatments to manage this condition effectively. At Digestive Disease Associates of Central Florida in Wesley Chapel, FL, Dr. Saeed Ahmed and Dr. Rajan Narula offer Solesta, a minimally invasive treatment that provides relief without the need for surgery.
Solesta is an FDA-approved injectable gel used to treat fecal incontinence in adults. It works by adding bulk to the walls of the anal canal, improving the closure of the sphincter and reducing leakage. The procedure is quick, performed in-office, and does not require anesthesia or a lengthy recovery period, making it an excellent option for patients seeking a non-surgical solution.
During the procedure, Solesta is injected into the tissue of the anal canal using a fine needle. The gel helps strengthen the area, improving control and reducing episodes of incontinence. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment, and improvements in symptoms are often noticeable within weeks. Dr. Ahmed and Dr. Narula ensure the procedure is performed with precision and care, prioritizing patient comfort and safety.
Solesta offers a non-surgical alternative for patients who want to avoid the risks and downtime associated with surgery. It is a proven treatment that has helped many individuals regain control and improve their quality of life. At Digestive Disease Associates of Central Florida, Dr. Ahmed and Dr. Narula work closely with patients to determine if Solesta is the right option based on their specific needs and medical history.
