Bowel Training Programme

In this programme, those patients who have lost normal bowel function will be trained to regain a regular bowel pattern, maintain personal hygiene, prevent constipation and minimize incontinence. Nurses will schedule the toilet training timetable, which may combine the diet with medication enhancement, depending on individual patient's condition. Nurses will also explain to the patients the anatomy of intestinal system, normal bowel function and causes of bowel malfunction. We will refer the patients to colorectal surgeon if necessary.
