Therapeutic Treatment for Hirschsprung Disease
Some children with Hirschsprung disease benefit from additional therapy and support after surgery. That’s why many patient families attend our Bowel Management Program each year. The Bowel Management Program is a week-long program for children dealing with constipation and the inability to control stool when it needs to stay inside or leave the body. This is called fecal incontinence, soiling or having “an accident.”
Families and patients complete the program with:
- An understanding of how continence works
- Information on why some children soil
- A customized, and proven, treatment plan for each child
