Ever wonder how doctors check
bowel function
without surgery?
Meet
MR Defecography
— a safe, radiation-free scan that shows how your pelvic muscles work during bowel movement
It helps find the cause of
constipation
,
incontinence
, or
pelvic organ prolapse
(conditions often missed by regular exams)
During the test, a soft gel is placed in the rectum, and MRI images are taken while you push it out
This reveals muscle movement, prolapse, or blockages clearly
Accurate, non-invasive, and essential for planning effective treatment
