How do people with SCI manage their bowel movement?
Not many people know this but it is not only the inability to move your arms or legs but also bowel and bladder control are lost too (in most cases.) This is the worst part (I think) of the injury. A person with a spinal cord injury must train there bodies to go at certain times. In order to urinate since the muscles that control the bladder contractions are lost (depending on the injury) one must catheterization which can lead to UTI’s. This subject is vast and everyone’s experience is very different.
