Bowel Incontinence ICD-10-CM Codes

The following can cause bowel incontinence: damage to the nerves that regulate bowel movement, Crohn’s Disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases, rectal prolapse, rectocele, getting older, and abuse of laxatives.

Healthcare professionals will resort to conducting any of the following: anal electromyography, anal manometry, anal ultrasound, and proctography, to mention a few.

Healthcare professionals might prescribe fiber supplements and anti-diarrhea medicine. They might also suggest dietary changes that include food that can thicken stool and avoid food and fluids that can loosen them.
