When diet and medication aren’t enough, other options can help treat f***l incontinence (FI).

Living with FI, or the inability to consistently control bowel movements, can be frustrating, embarrassing, and disruptive to everyday life. But effective treatment options are available, even when conservative approaches haven't provided enough relief.

Dr. Miles Tommeraasen, Colorectal Surgeon at Paragon Surgical Specialists, uses InterStim Therapy (sacral neuromodulation) when indicated as a minimally invasive option. This modality uses mild electrical impulses to nerves that help control bowel function. For patients who haven't seen sufficient improvement with dietary changes, medications, or other conservative treatments, this therapy may improve bowel control and quality of life.

🎀 As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, it's important to remember that breast health deserves our attention all year long! Early detection and knowing what's normal for your body can make an important difference.

At Paragon Breast Care, we encourage women to take an active role in their breast health through regular screenings, breast self-awareness, and conversations with their healthcare providers.

💗 Know Your Normal. Check your breasts regularly, including monthly self-checks if that's helpful for you, and become familiar with how they normally look and feel. Report any new lumps, swelling, skin changes, ni**le discharge, or other unusual symptoms.

🩷 Keep Up with Mammograms. Routine screening mammograms can detect breast changes before symptoms appear. Talk with your healthcare provider about the screening schedule that's right for your age, medical history, and individual risk factors.

🔬 Understand Diagnostic Testing. Sometimes additional testing is needed to investigate an abnormal mammogram or a concerning symptom. Diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, breast MRIs, and biopsies may be recommended to provide more information and help determine the next steps.

👩‍⚕️ Don't Wait to Ask Questions. Whether you've noticed a change, received an abnormal screening result, have a family history of breast cancer, or simply have questions about your risk, your healthcare provider or a breast specialist can help guide you.

At Paragon Breast Care, our experienced breast surgeons provide compassionate, personalized care to help patients navigate breast health concerns, diagnostic evaluations, and treatment decisions.

🎀 Something new or changing? Don’t worry alone. A new lump, a change in how your breast looks or feels, or a symptom that won’t go away doesn’t automatically mean something serious is developing, but it does deserve a conversation.

Dr. Laura Hudson, breast surgeon at Paragon Surgical Specialists, shares an important reminder: no question is too small, and you should never be embarrassed to ask about your health. 💗 Contact your healthcare provider or reach out to Paragon Breast Care. We’re here to listen and help you take the next step.
