Bowel Health
Bowel health plays a vital role in your overall wellbeing, yet many women experience issues such as constipation, bowel urgency, or incontinence that can impact daily life. At Alara Women’s Health, we understand how personal and sometimes overwhelming bowel concerns can feel, and we’re here to offer compassionate, holistic care to help you regain comfort, confidence, and control.
Common Bowel Health Concerns We See
Women may experience bowel issues for many reasons, including pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, pelvic floor weakness, or chronic conditions like IBS. Some of the most common concerns include:
- Constipation – Difficulty passing stools, discomfort, or a feeling of incomplete emptying.
- Bowel Urgency – Sudden, strong urges to empty the bowel, sometimes leading to accidents.
- Faecal Incontinence – Accidental leakage of stool or difficulty controlling bowel movements.
- Painful Bowel Movements – Discomfort due to scar tissue, pelvic floor tension, or prolapse.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – Bloating, cramping, and irregular bowel habits.
