Biofeedback Therapy for Pelvic Floor & Defecation Disorders

Non-Invasive, Long-Term Relief for Chronic Constipation

Biofeedback therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for patients diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction, especially after evaluation with anorectal manometry. It is the treatment of choice for dyssynergic defecation, a condition in which pelvic floor muscles fail to relax properly during bowel movements. This therapy addresses the root cause of functional defecation disorders—muscle incoordination—rather than just relieving symptoms.

Who Needs Biofeedback Therapy?

Biofeedback therapy is recommended for patients who experience:

  • Chronic constipation despite laxatives
  • Difficulty in passing stools
  • Excessive straining during bowel movements
  • Sensation of incomplete evacuation
  • Pelvic floor dysfunction confirmed on anorectal manometry

What Is Dyssynergic Defecation?

In dyssynergic defecation, the pelvic floor and anal sphincter muscles contract instead of relaxing during defecation. This leads to poor stool passage and chronic symptoms. Biofeedback therapy helps retrain these muscles, restoring normal coordination and bowel function.

How Does Biofeedback Therapy Work?

Biofeedback therapy uses real-time visual and sensory feedback to retrain the muscles and nerves involved in defecation.

During each session:

  • Small sensors measure anal sphincter pressure and muscle coordination
  • Signals are displayed visually for patient understanding
  • A trained therapist guides the patient to:
    • Relax pelvic floor muscles correctly
    • Apply proper abdominal push techniques
    • Coordinate muscle activity during bowel movements

This learning process allows patients to gain conscious control over bowel-related muscle function.
