  • Feeling comfortable talking to your doctor about bowel incontinence
    Sep 20 2024

    Bowel incontinence is a condition that may be more life limiting than almost any other form of incontinence, but to most of us, it's so embarrassing that we'd rather suffer than discuss it with a doctor. Today's guest is Dr. Cary Fishburne, a double-board-certified urogynecologist and specialist in female pelvic health, and he's here to reassure us that there's truly no reason to stay silent.
