Bowel issues after anal cancer treatment: Had the interstim procedure?

Posted by geriincary @geriincary, Oct 6, 2023

After anal cancer treatment (radiation and chemo) I am having trouble with my bowels. Going to the bathroom 3-4 times a day. Have had physical therapy (pelvic floor) didn't seem to help. This procedure is an insertion of a wire and a pacemaker kind of devise to help control the muscles near the rectum.

Had to have an mri today, one of the questions is do you have any metal , wire implants? I'm glad I had my interstim removed because it might have meant a change to the mri
