Over 150,000 Americans live with spina bifida, a birth defect that mainly affects the spine and can cause neurogenic bladder or bowel. Sarah was born with spina bifida at the L4/L5 and L5/S1 levels, resulting in a neurogenic bladder and bowel. Sarah has been using the Peristeen® Transanal Irrigation System since 2015 and has recently started using the updated Peristeen® Plus system. She will share her journey through treatment techniques that ultimately led her to Peristeen Plus, along with her tips, advice, and best practices for using the system.
If you have neurogenic bowel, you may have questions about how to manage your condition and what treatment options are available to you. It can be difficult – and we’re here to help!
